Configuring the subscription in Remote Desktop Client automatically
Hey Ola,
I actually have the exact same need. We have been implementing a WVD solution, and I have been tasked with configuring Azure Intune Autopilot to deploy in such a way that all our helpdesk will have to do is give the user a laptop and the setup should be completely automated. The Windows Virtual Desktop app works great, but I can't find any way to automate the subscription process. Theoretically this should be do-able in Intune, but I'm unable to find any settings to govern it.

JimCopeland63 Thanks for the feedback Jim. We've been looking at different ways to improve the initial subscription flow, at least for cases where the user's AAD token is already available for us to use (ex: AADJ or workplace joined devices).
One option is similar to RDS, where we'd add a policy/regkey like AutoSubscribeURL that when present would try to automatically subscribe the user using their existing AAD token. This workspace would not be removable by the user, contrary to manually added ones.
Thoughts on this?
DavidBelanger Is there an update on this regkey solution or another solution to automatically subscribe users? Thank you

dhavalg Anything you can share on this topic?
DavidBelangerany news for the automation of the subscription config in the "Windows Desktop Client"?
Or has anyone found a workaround for this task?
Thanks a lot!
DavidBelanger Please do this. We have shared thin clients that we want to keep subscribed.
