How do I give users access to both Desktop and RemoteApps?
Hi,
If a user is in a RemoteApp group it doesn't allow me to add this user to the Desktop Application Group ("The specified UserPrincipalName(s) is already assigned to a Desktop AppGroup in the specified HostPool").
So what's the best way (or any way) to give a user access to both a RemoteApp and Desktop app groups?
Thanks,

tilikumtim : To give a user access to both desktops and RemoteApps, you will need two separate host pools. We have heard feedback to allow this within a single host pool, but there are multiple things we would need to iron out through the service and the clients to ensure a seamless experience if you transition between the two experiences.
Is there any news about this?
We're planning to migrate an application actually using RDS to WVD and the users are actually using a remoteapp OR the desktop depending on the need. We cannot use different pools because of the application design.
I can "force" them to use always the desktop but it would be more elegant to permit both accesses to a single user.
Are there plans to permit both accesses?
Thank you

setadini : We're investigating, but don't have anything planned for the near term (being at least the next 3 months). In general, we haven't supported this in Windows Server RDS either, so throughout our stack it's a larger change, so is not a quick thing to add in our service.
