To disable the ability to link domain and local computer accounts to Microsoft Accounts, open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on Windows 8 or Server 2012 using a domain account that has permission to create new Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
•In the left pane of GPMC, expand your AD forest and domain.
•Right-click the Group Policy Objects folder and select New from the menu.
•In the New GPO dialog, name the GPO Restrict MS Account Linking and click OK.
•Click the Group Policy Objects folder in the left pane.
•Right-click the new GPO in the right pane of GPMC and select Edit from the menu.
•In the Group Policy Management Editor window, expand Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
•In the right pane of the Group Policy Management Editor window, double-click Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts.
•In the Properties dialog window, check Define this policy setting.
•In the drop-down menu, select Users can’t add or log in with Microsoft accounts from the menu and click OK.
