MSIX and AADDS support
- Sep 08, 2021
Paul Slijkhuis this is a highly needed and desired feature and certainly being worked on by the Product Group. Particularly we introduced Azure AD join for AVD VMs. That also poses some challenges with accessing Azure File Shares with regards to the lack of Kerberos Authentication. Of course like you mentioned the Machine Accounts are key for MSIX so that will likely be part of the solution when it comes out. Not ETA as of yet, but certainly something that is likely on the Product Group's high priority list.
Some of our customers have actually resorted to using NetApp File Shares, albeit more expensive, to overcome this issue as well. If you already have NetApp File Shares that may be an option in the interim.
So stay tuned, it is definitely something in the works to be solved by the Azure Product Group sooner than later!
