Onboarding WVD devices to MDATP is done via the existing device onboarding process, follow the relevant onboarding instructions per the platform you are using:

- Follow these instructions for previous Windows client versions

Hi, I need to onboard 12 VM's and I am using the local script, but with the local script, I can onboard only 10 VMs. How should I onboard the remaining 2 VMs? PieterWigleven

There is no counter in the script, 1-10 computers is just a recommendation, preventing you from being sneaker admin.I'm running the script from a network share through the "Run PowerShell script" from Azure VM portal (removed the lines about confirmation) whenever we roll-out new WVD.
So far we have more than 40 machines onboarded with same script.Olaf_Thyssen Awesome. Thanks very much for the reply. I don't know why this information is not in the documentation. Have you tried URL blocking with this? My plan is to onboard all the 12 VMs and apply the URL blocking for them.
Jeff_BryantPieterWigleven Any idea how the licensing will work for Windows 10 Multisession in WVD? I'm reading in the MDATP docs that if I have an E5 license, I can use MDATP on up to 5 concurrent devices; does this include a WVD session hosts running Windows 10 Multisession? Or do I need to add the session host VM to Azure Security Center to achieve licensing requirements?
I agree, the ambiguity around product releases and public preview and trials is just getting out of hand at Microsoft!
Try and get answers from MS Distributors and they are in the same boat. Product Team you guys are doing a great job in getting new products out - but why not feed info to your users (beta users) on how to go about deploying new products.
We are looking at E5 users or standalone Defender Advanced Threat Protection. But have no clarity on how licensing in WVD will be compliant/work!

limaecho Jeff_Bryant I've checked it's part of your existing E5 per User licensing. A user needs have a valid E5 license when accessing a session on Win10 Enterprise multi-session. A license is only used when an user has an active session. With per User licensing you always have access to concurrent 5 devices (or sessions).
@ Since a couple of days WVD seems not completely supported anymore? See attached screenshot.
Did I mis an anouncement around this?
- With relation to AVD/Windows 10 Multi-session, is there any planned support for third party browsers for web filtering?
