Today we have announced public preview of our next update which comes with several improvements. See here where Brad Anderson and Julia White summarize our most exciting capabilities:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/04/30/enable-remote-work-faster-new-windows-...
Get started by navigating to the Azure Portal and search for Windows Virtual Desktop. Our PS module is also available in PSGallery as part of Az module. The ARM API reference is available here - https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/tree/master/specification/desktopvirtualization/resour.... Our documentation is available here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/
Note: Existing object created using GA tools will not show up on the portal. You will need to migrate them to ARM object. Migration tool (under implementation) will be provided by the WVD team.
Known issues:
This is the list of open issues we have that will be fixed soon:

The Azure portal create VM flow does not support creating Win 7 VMs and registering them to the hostpool. You can create an empty hostpool, register the desktop appgroup, manually create Win7 VMs and register them to the hostpool using this method - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-powershell

The status page for WVD is a joke - looks like nothing wrong happened in the last 90 days. WVD team is always - "Overpromise and underdeliver"

Existing object created using GA tools will not show up on the portal. You will need to migrate them to ARM object. Migration tool (under implementation) will be provided by the WVD team.
And why is this not done for customers. I dont get this.

So Microsoft release an update on there product but not the tool to import. Also let me remind you. We or paying customers. So why did they not do it at the backend for the customer. It is called customer service.

@Pavithra Thiruvengadam Just came across this post today to migrate existing objects to spring update and looks good. Just wanted to ensure, if these are official and recommended steps or product team will be bringing something else that would be easier and quicker way to do it?

Hi @acalvert!
I guess this already helps you to perform the migration with the WVD Admin GUI:

I hope this helps! It was very useful to me!

Hi @bhushangawale @PavithraT ,
you can check out the WVD Admin GUI from Marcel Meurer, it already supports an easy way to securely migrate to the ARM based Management UI! Here you can find how to get going:

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks, getting that installed now 🙂
Quick warning to anyone who is preparing to go down the WVDAdmin route to migrate, Marcel mentions in the video that you can only move the session hosts if they were initially rolled out using WVDAdmin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqGsIdFxTs4&t=352
My tenant was all created in powershell so I cannot migrate the session hosts using WVDAdmin 😞

You can do the migration yourself. Is a bit complicated but it is possible.
Only part im still working on is to migrate the hostpool.
But session can be migrated to a hostpool. Here or the steps.
To move a session host you can:
