Re: SQL Server Licensing
Correct, easiest way is to buy Software Subscriptions for Azure Hybrid Benefit, but you might find that Azure based licensing is cheaper vs the 1-year SQL software subscription license; with the 3-year software sub license you are slightly better off than compared to Azure-based licensing but you need to pay upfront or annually for it.Re: AVD pool - performance issues
In addition to the community comments already posted around sizing - have you looked at using newer version of the VMs? V5s as an example? That will give a performance increase as well and probably cheaper than the V3s. You could also look at the AMD variants which offer more performance than the Intel variants (according to the MS docs) and are often the same price if not cheaper.Re: Implementing AD into existing Cloud Azure AD
Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AADDS) will do the one-way sync from Azure AD to AADDS, that is however not technically considered a hybrid identity. It will give you GPOs and Kerberos authentication though. Have a look at this if you want to look at doing traditional AD - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-existing-tenant#sync-with-existing-users-in-azure-adMicrosoft Defender for Endpoint - AVD/Windows 10 Multi-session
Hi, With relation to AVD/Windows 10 Multi-session, is there any planned support for third party browsers for web filtering? Currently only Microsoft Edge is supported and Network Protection is not supported on Windows 10 Azure Virtual Desktop multi-session hosts which covers off third party browsers. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/web-content-filtering?view=o365-worldwide#known-issues-and-limitations Cheers, Andrew.Re: Azure Virtual Desktop with Azure AD Login
sreeja8 As above, did you assign the Azure AD user to the Session Host you're trying to connect to? "Assign your users the Virtual Machine User Login role so they can sign in to the VMs." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm#assign-user-access-to-host-pools The local client needs to be one of these also: The local PC is Azure AD-joined to the same Azure AD tenant as the session host The local PC is hybrid Azure AD-joined to the same Azure AD tenant as the session host The local PC is running Windows 10, version 2004 and later, and is Azure AD registered to the same Azure AD tenant as the session host To enable access from Windows devices not joined to Azure AD, add targetisaadjoined:i:1 as a custom RDP property to the host pool. These connections are restricted to entering user name and password credentials when signing in to the session host. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm#connect-using-the-windows-desktop-client I also found this useful as well in genera: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/example-scenario/wvd/azure-virtual-desktop-azure-active-directory-joinRe: How to set up license - Windows Server 2016 - RDS Client Access License (CAL)
Would just like to confirm the below is correct, please: If I wanted to run Windows Server as the OS for an AVD Session Host, then the license that is required is just an RDS CAL (Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Client Access License (CAL) with active Software Assurance (SA)) correct? I don't need the actual OS license? Same as it is for Windows 10 Multi-session, where I am entitled to use the OS at no additional cost if I were to use one of the supported licenses, e.g. Business Premium?Re: Windows Virtual Desktop Static IP
Would also like to know the more details on this. This also seems like something you and your team should be testing since there are operations going on in the background with the AVD/WVD control plane and session host that we can't necessarily account for, at least as not as easy as you and your team could. The scenario is that they have web applications that need a static external address. Thanks
