I've the need to implement "home folder" for WVD users but that section is grayed out in AD User Properties. Somewhere in the documentation it says that this is by design for users propagated from Azure AD trough AZ Domain Services. I also have the need to apply different group policies for different category of users which I currently use OU's to group them together in my local environment. Creating OUs within the provided "AADDC Users" OU is not allowed. Moving the users to other OUs is not allowed. When I create a new OU tree at the root of the domain and then create accounts within the local active directory I do have full access to all AD properties as expected however these local users are not recognized by WVD. Apparently only users created in Azure AD and replicated to the default "AADDC Users" OU are allowed to login. Are there any plans to remediate these limitations? I would need to be able to move users to different OUs for organization purposes and be able to apply different group policies against those different OUs per our needs, the same would be required for computer accounts.

I have used "Home folder" and "Shared network drives" in diffrent scenarios in the past. it is not very reliable. I think it is the time to move to Azure Files
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-introduction
I have been using Azure Files alongside Azure AD in production and can guaranty it will deliver the user needs. I agree Azure AD has long way to go to become a perfect cloud DC (eventually it will) but for now they are doing a grea job, Azure files is doing even a better job. So from my point of view, Micrsoft idea on Azure Ad and Files is leading to a perfection direction.
I would recommend everyone to vote on this https://feedback.azure.com/forums/217298-storage/suggestions/19693045-automatically-mount-an-azure-f...
Microsoft is doin a great job to get Azure Files to parity with Windows File Server. Using Azure Files via GPO would be the dream.
Thank you
