Azure Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) deploying - is access to internet required?
Hello:
I am deploying WVD and everything is working fine if I'm using vnet/subnet with access to Internet.
However, if I'm using subnet with NO access to Internet it finish deployment successfully, but the Hosts (VMs) never appear under Session Hosts... I think they need to download some binaries from the web and that's why it's failing...
I also tried to manually install Agent (with registration key from my Host Pool) and Boot loader, but it still does not work.
Is access to the web for Session Hosts a requirement for WVD deployment?
Thank you!

Hi Oleg_A, the host VMs need access to the RDBroker service over 443 - not complete internet access, but you'll need to adjust your NSG or Vnet service connections to allow the destinations set out here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-vm-configuration#error-windows-virtual-desktop-agent-registry-entry-isregistered-shows-a-value-of-0
