Thank you for sharing your requirement Ola! I will take your feedback to the product team for consideration. If possible, can you please share how many client devices/users are you setting up for WVD?

    Soo Kuan Teo I have this requirement too.  I'm working with multiple UK public sector clients.  The two I'm working with right now are 50K users and 140K users.

    Hi Soo Kuan, do you have any update on this one? We have multiple projects where WVD will be used for environments between 250 and 1000. 

     

    Thank you in advance!

      Hi All,

       

      On the other hand we have a similar, but opposite problem.

      We would like to centrally remove the WVD Client subscription as some users inevitably will leave configured clients around potentially with saved credentials.

       

      Additionally, is there a way to force Multi Factor Authentication *each time* a user logs into WVD?

      It seems that due to financial sector auditors request we need to verify each and every WVD desktop login with more than one credential factor. At the moment the security side of WVD is a concern as once the user subscribed (and potentially saved credentials) anyone can click an unattended client device and be logged on WVD without further challenge... handy but scary.

       

      Thank you very Much

      Nicola

        I also have kind of that opposite need that I want the Remote Desktop client to UNSUBSCRIBE ever time it is closed so that MFA is actually forced each time a user logs in.  Any other way to force MFA ever time a user logs in to their Wvd?

    Thank you!
    We have approx 19.000 users in our organization, which we would like to automate the process of connecting to WVD.
