So appreciate the response.

 

Agreed. WVD is working perfectly and I can go to my desktop at will using my Global Administrator username in the form of jd@domain.com plus the password.

 

The issue arises AFTER I am ON the WVD desktop where, for instance, I can run [Windows PowerShell].

 

However, when I run [Windows PowerShell (Admin)], UAC comes up and I can not find any combination of username and password that works.

 

So I guess the proper question is; "what form of my username and password should I use in WVD for UAC?"

 

Hopefully that makes sense.

 

As for direct RDP; when I am on the WVD desktop I can see that the "Enable Remote Desktop" is set to On. I can not change that of course because it also says in red letters, "Sign in as administrator to change this setting". Point being you may be right about a GPO. Apologies as I do not know how to check.

 

So either resolution would be helpful; either get through UAC in WVD or externally access via RDP.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

WVD is GPO and domain level access. So if you have an Enterprise or Domain Admin account. You can open your powershell as administrator with that account.

    Woo Hoo 🙂

     

    You put me on the right track. I found the [Groups] in AADDS and put myself into the "AAD DC Administrators" group. Shazam! I was able to load and run PowerShell as Administrator.

     

    Thank you so much for your suggestion.

    Thank you for responding, this sounds promising. Unfortunately I am not versed in how to implement the changes you speak of.

     

    What I do know is that I started the PaaS Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AADDS) and it seems to be working perfectly with WVD; and that I am the Global Administrator for mydomain.com.

     

    Hopefully this means that I have the "Domain Account" you referenced; May I trouble you for what to do next? Do I go somewhere in the Azure portal to set something in GPO?

     

    Would I then be able to open PowerShell on the WVD desktop when logged in as administrator?

     

    Anxious to learn 😉
