    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.

ghonyme Facing the same issue. My WVD tenant with Azure subscription is connected using Vnet Peering to on-prem AD but the UPN is different.

    AFAIK no.

     

    How can I check this? In AAD Connect settings?

      Radek V : Actually, we have a current issue right now regarding user connections if the VMs are connected to Azure AD Domain Services and that user is sourced from your on-prem AD (synchronized to Azure AD, then replicated to the Azure AD Domain Services instance): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Virtual-Desktop/Announcement-Connectivity-issues-from-synchronized-users-to-VMs/m-p/759642#M1036 .

       

      We're actively investigating options on how to unblock and fix.

        My users appear as 'guests' in AAD with source being 'external azure active directory' or 'invited user'. When I try to add such an account using the Add-RdsAppGroupUser cmdlet then I get the message "the specfifed UPN does not exist in the AAD associated with the RD tenant". Account that have directly been created in the AAD does work.

         

        Can anyone from Microsoft state if these type of users are or will be supported and if not, how I should proceed??
