Hybrid Join for AVD Hostpool (Pooled)

[marc_kuhn]

Hi guys

we are new to the topic AVD and are starting with configuring our first Hostpool in Azure. We would like to have a pooled Hostpool with Windows 11 Multi-Session.

The users are synced from a On-Prem AD to Entra ID. The personas are pretty simple and just use M365 Apps, FSLogix and 2 Business Apps.

I saw in a nice presentation from Marcel Meurer approx. 1 Year ago that having the AVD Sessionhosts in Intune when pooled is not a good idea.

We know from Intune that doing a Hybrid-Join for Notebooks isn't a good idea and gives a lot more complexity. What is best practise for AVD in our case? Should we configure Hybrid-Join without having a DC in Azure or is it required to have one also in Azure to be able to configure GPO's or how do you managed the session host's?

Configuring a AADDS does give me also more complexity in this case, right?

Thanks for your feedback.

Marc
