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)
Mike Amox I currently have on premise AD synced to Azure AD with AAD Connect so right now this will work. I am in the process of migrating all workstations to AAD with the goal of decommissioning AD. All device & application management will be via cloud management tools. While I appreciate I could setup AAD DS this still requires domain joined or hybrid join, not something I am after & get the impression others are the same.
Do you know if Microsoft has on the road map to support AAD joined devices only for WVD?
Thanks.
