Thanks for the suggestion. I guess this will work, but we have to get the AAD license here. Can't we just use normal MFA and achieve MFA while we are logging into WVD?

You can set up MFA in the portal and when users access the WVD infrastructure they will be asked to work with MFA. The advantage with a conditional access policy is that you can set up MFA explicitly for WVD.

I hope this will help. Regards Tom Wechslergadmin285

I understand now. We can configure the normal MFA, and when ever user's try to login to the WVD they will be asked to put a verification code (I have tested this yesterday) and the other way is purchase the P1 or P2 license and setup MFA with conditional access. This will be expensive as we pay for the license. So my doubt has been cleared. Thanks Tom Wechsler for all the suggestions. TomWechsler
