Requirement to have an on-prem AD
Looking at the documentation, it seems an on premise AD is required for Windows Virtual desktop in Azure and Azure domain join is not supported. Can anyone confirm if that's definitely the case? It s...

on-prem AD is not required.
AD requirements:
Option 1: Domain controller that is synchronized with Azure Active Directory. The domain controller can be on-prem or in cloud. To synchronize with Azure Active Directory install Azure Active Directory Connect.
Option 2: Azure AD Domain Services domain in Azure (automatically synced with Azure Active Directory)
So i have on premise AD with AD connect syncing to Azure AD. Then i created an Azure AD Domain instance and bound it to a VNET and then used that network to connect my Windows Virtual Desktop to and join that domain. So its not joining azure AD directly but a fully synced Azure AD Domain services which is syncing with Azure AD. So technically you arent joining Azure AD natively.

MicrosoftThat's a hybrid domain join, as you joined and active directory domain, not an Azure AD join. That is supported.
