Re: Windows Virtual Desktop IP addresses - one per user
I eventually logged a call with Microsoft who confirmed: 1. The virtual IP per user functionality has not been ported to WVD. 2. The only solution for a static, per user IP in WVD would be an individual, dedicated VM per user (i.e. not pooled mode). This is obviously a much more expensive option.15KViews0likes1CommentWindows Virtual Desktop IP addresses - one per user
I am evaluating WVD as a possible replacement for both existing Windows Server Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and a non-Microsoft VDI solution. We have an application that requires each user session to have a unique IP address that can be linked to each individual user. This address is used for outbound traffic, and is monitored on the application server to track licensing. On the VDI this was relatively easy to implement, as we just give each VDI VM a static IP. On the RDS session hosts we configure IP virtualization to assign a different IP to each session. Questions: 1. Can I do something similar on WVD to ensure that user sessions have unique IPs? 2. Can I still use IP virtualization when using a Windows 2016 multi-session host in WVD? 3. Will it work with multi-session Windows 10 hosts in WVD? 4. Is there a recommended way to automate assignment of static IPs to single-session (VDI) Windows 10 VMs? For more info on IP virtualization in Windows Server RDS, see these links (old articles, but the technique still works): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise-Mobility-Security/Configuring-Remote-Desktop-IP-Virtualization-Part-1/ba-p/246844 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/ee382306(v=ws.10)16KViews0likes5Comments
