WVD session shadowing
Will there be a shadowing feature like we have in RDS 2012/2016?

Also, for shadowing, there is a workaround if you have access to that network. You would do this by querying/running Get-RdsUserSession, then from the a VM on the network, use the shadowing RDP capability, and specifying the session host and user session #.
I would also recommend adding the feature request on our UserVoice so we can continue accumulating demand.

Christian_Montoya , Hello,
Could you perhaps please explain in some greater detail how I would be able to do what you have described? We currently only have one Windows 10 WVD host, so identyfying the host concerned is not an issue, I am unsure how to use "the shadowing RDP capability" or where to access this?

James_Randall_1978 : Some top WVD contributors just released a blog that addresses session shadowing here Shadow a WVD user with least privileges . Hopefully this helps!
