azure virtual desktop: adding users after initial deployment
RodNet Is there a way to add via a group or do you have to add each user individually?
What do you do in the case of a large deployment?
HeyAseem Nayar
You can also deploy a VDI Management Portal - which currently can only be configured as an App Service. From what I know Microsoft team is working currently to create a new management portal that will be available from the Azure Portal.
Currently I am administering 3 deployments of VDI in Azure and unfortunately for now you can only add single users which has to be synced in your AAD. If you would like to add multiple users I can share a script with you that it will do this for you. You just have to fill CSV file with Username, AppGroup and HostPool column and then script will add all the users to the specific AppGroup for you automaticly.
Currently there are two licensing models. One that is using CAL licensing and the other that is using M365 License or E5 Lisence if you have Windows 10 Enterprise.
Here is the Microsoft Documentation Page with all the Powershell Comands that you can use with Azure VDI Deployment.

- Hi Wojciech, can you provide the script to add users from a CSV?
SMFWC395 I created a script that will sync an AD group with WVD. It's posted here https://github.com/tsrob50/WVD-Public
