Thin Client Support, Windows Virtual Desktop
Hello, Since Windows Virtual desktop service relies on azure AD for authentication. Is this supported by thin clients that support RD protocol and were designed initially for classic RDS infrastruct...
- Jul 01, 2020
- You can download the Windows Desktop client for any W10 IoT Enterprise device (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/connect-windows-7-and-10)
- For Linux, you can use the IGEL client (some docs here https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/linux-overview)
- The HTML5 client can also run on most browsers on Linux devices
We are working with a number of other Linux thin client partners to enable them to build their own WVD clients. Today, IGEL is the only partner with a client in production. If there are other Linux thin client you and your customers need support for, please keep posting in this thread. It always helps us to have more info to share with partners re demand.

Yeah, but many companies already have linux-based thin clients, perfectly capable of running RDP against all current RDS-environments. Why would/should they not be compatible with WVD?
I have customers with 800+ HP thin clients; many of them bought within the last two years. Replacing these would be a massive investment. And seemingly completely unnecessary.

I have more than 1.2k thin clients. I'm waiting for a solution.
I can't wait for Microsoft give a solution and I shutdown all my RDS/Citrix on-premise.
