WVD and Intune / Endpoint Manager
Hello,
I am using a pure cloud environment (Azure AD - Azure AD Domain Services - Windows Virtual Desktop). How can I use Intune / Endpoint Manater for the sessions hosts in the environment?
Thanks a lot

- same for us. We moved our clients to cloud only azure ad join and I was excited about the intune what's new this week as wvd windows 10 multi user is in public preview now. But at a closer look we still need an hybrid join for wvd machines as a requierement. Are there plans in near future to have cloud only aad joined wvds?
Stefan Kießig you can use auto-enrollment configured in your AAD server in the cloud, check my post Enroll Windows Virtual Desktop a Microsoft Intune – Deployment MX
DeploymentMX AD Connect does not work for me because I do not have an onPremise domain.
The domain functionality is provided by the Azure AD Domain Service.Stefan Kießig - I think the only (supported) way would be to spin up a traditional domain controller, e.g. in Azure so not on premise as such, install AD Connect and go from there. We had to retain an 'on-premise' domain controller for a line of business app. It was frustrating at the time, but proving useful for WVD and some other use cases.
- You can't at all if your using windows 10 multi-session
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/windows-virtual-desktop#windows-10-enterprise-multi-session- Microsoft - are there plans to support management of WVD Windows 10 Multi-Session through Intune/Endpoint Manager? We have embraced the modern desktop and deployed Azure AD joined endpoints to all users, locked down using Intune security baselines. It seems like a lot of wasted effort to have to go back to traditional group policy to set up a consistent user experience on WVD...
lukewilcock Hey Luke, But why aren't you are using Group policies for those devices.. I am just trying to understand whats wrong with on premise policy for those WVD devices and people are going with Intune policies. Apart from the external devices? I have a customer who is looking for managing WVD devices and they have on premise group policies.
