    ghonyme : Yes, unfortunately we do not support guest users yet in Windows Virtual Desktops. Users must be sourced from the Azure AD that you specify for your Windows Virtual Desktop tenant.

Does that mean we can invite guest(external) users to our Azure AD, and assign them to WVD app group, without having to go through the process of syncing the users from AD to Azure AD ?

      Anybody has recent information / solved the issue? There is little meaning offering e.g. AVD RAIL applications if we cannot onboard external users to it.

      Any update / idea appreciated.
      Best, Henri

        You're right, in real world people will most likely use Virtual Desktops to provide controlled access to people outside their organizations (service providers, contractors, some clients). 

        Being unable to do that, just makes the solution of little use.
