Windows 365 provisioning and Azure Network Connection (ANC) internals
Event details
We'll "pop the hood" on provisioning and networking with a deep dive into the bowels of how Cloud PC creation is orchestrated, decisions points of using Microsoft hosted network verses bring your own Azure VNET (ANC) and new provisioning simplicity workflows for language packs and conclude with a special focus on network simplification and considerations when using VPN/content filter solutions.
This session is part of the Microsoft Technical Takeoff: Windows + Intune. Add it to your calendar, RSVP for event reminders, and post your questions and comments below! This session will also be recorded and available on demand shortly after conclusion of the live event. |

- Richard Blanco Jr.Brass ContributorWill Cloud PC's provisioned using Microsoft Hosted Network option under the same tenant talk to each other under the same virtual network that is created?
- femi_adebayoMicrosoftThanks, great question. We don't allow the tenant to talk to each other. Each tenant will have their own Vnets assigned and different tenants are isolated at the Vnet level.
- Richard Blanco Jr.Brass ContributorThank you. I was reffering to specifically the Cloud PC's created under the same tenant and using the MS Hosted Network option. If you provision 10 Cloud PC's can those 10 see each other in the same network, browse to each other, etc?
- Richard Blanco Jr.Brass ContributorWhen requesting trial licenses, how long does it take to receive the trial? Would that be an email or is it directly provisioned into our tenant? Thanks
- EricOrmanMicrosoftI'll be processing them by end of week.
- Richard Blanco Jr.Brass ContributorAre Cloud PC's setup with Azure AD Join option (instead of Hybrid AADJ) and connected to a pre-existing Azure vnet using ANC able to use resources like file servers, Azure Files, and other systems the same as if they were HAADJ? Im trying to understand the benefit of using AADJ if you already have a domain controller and other servers running in an Azure VNet and need the Cloud PC's to access those systems.
- EricOrmanMicrosoftGreat question, there is a couple different ways to think about this. Are your physical PC's all HAADJ or AADJ? The value of AADJ is that it decouples and reduces the need to maintain on-prem infrastructure, so simplification is a huge reason. The other is PC's don't need line of sight to the AD domain controller, this is a huge advantage for physical PC's that are off your work network so alignment on domain join is a reason along with agility to roam anywhere as long as device has internet connection. Hope that provides some reasons, it really boils down to flexibility and simplification.
- Richard Blanco Jr.Brass ContributorThank you. I guess in a scenario where the Azure vnet already has a domain controller VM and a file/SQL server, as an example, if I strictly AADJ the Cloud PC's, will they be able to access all these server resources properly as if they were joined in the classic AD join method? I would assume yes but please clarify if I am incorrect. I know that using AADJ may affect the use of Group Policy on the Cloud PC. (seperate item and I know that Intune can apply policies as needed to replace classic Group Policies). Thanks
