    Is the ability to use Docker containers coming to 4 vCPU cloud PCs anytime soon? We know it's available to 8 vCPU.

    Assigning user multiple virtual machines. Are you guys working on improving flexibility? Currently, users can't be part of multiple provisioning policies.

    If one of the cloud pcs becomes infected with a virus, how can I disconnect it from the network? (not legal hold. is there another option?)

      There is a "Place Cloud PC Under Review" option -- and the user can be blocked from accessing. Not sure if that completely isolates the PC.

    thank your for setting up this ama. here is my most important question.

    1- Does sign-in frequency CA policies work on the w365 launch page?

    User on RDP client works well. User has to enter user/pwd and MFA if they walk away and come back 12 hours later. (freq set to 12 hours)

    But user on browser never gets logged out of the launch home page, so when they re-launch the pc, it prompts for user/pwd(which most times it is saved creds by the browser) and logs in without being re-prompted for mfa.

    Can you confirm this is a problem or i'm doing something wrong? Has anyone been able to do this? (i'm using both apps in my CA policy. I want this interval to only apply to windows 365 not all apps)

    One more - we see an issue with OneDrive where a user can’t sign in and OneDrive is not functional. Teams and Office 365 are working fine. Similar question - would it matter what the host OS is? The host OS in this case is a Galaxy S8 tablet.

    We see failures to make Teams calls sometimes. Does it matter what OS the host is for Teams on a Cloud PC? Is the AVD optimization available on all host OS?

    We are seeing provisioning errors due to missing SCP in Active Directory. Is an SCP required for provisioning - hybrid join scenario.
