As someone with zero IT training, and being told AVD/VDI invite coming soon, this helped a lot as a high overview with what it is and how it works. Thanks!

I have never seen such a good video, everything is explained perfectly, compliments, excellent

nice thanks! definitely new things for me like reverse connect transport...

Thank you !!, concise and precise overview

This video is amazing.

Very helpful video 👍 Question - Does screen saver(not lock screen) feature works on AVD?

Simply wow... What a great summarised overview! By the way, does it have networking options such AWS (DNS, routing...)?

Yes, it can use the networking and hybrid options from Azure networking, whether you need to connect to on-prem or cross-cloud/cross-SaaS workloads.

Thanks!

Very nice Thank You 😊

Thanks, glad you liked it.

So is this the current replacement for the old Remote Desktop Licensing server of Windows Server? If you wanted to have each RDP accessing the same file, like access would that file have to exist as a sync'd copy in each AVD profile or accessing from a shared Azure File/Storage with standard locks? Seems like a possible way to get past the per user monthly licenses if you could park everyone on a AVD Windows platform vs dedicated Windows Server VM as was previously required?

It's amazing😍

Are we able to integrate with other AD environments, say if we distribute an app to multiple clients who all want to use their own company's AD authentication to login?

What would be the advantages or disadvantages of AVD vs Windows 365?

Windows 365 is easiest to configure, but AVD could cost less as it per usage based

Isn't this only cost effective if you do a byod model? You still have to give end users a device to use to login to these virtual desktops

BYOD can work, or provisioning a less expensive, lower spec device. That said, there are security, compliance, and in other cases, performance benefits in addition to cost considerations.

What about vendor lock-in? This solution is good for very small and temporary requirements which depend on Cloud Apps only.

Is there any Calculator for me to decide from a cost pov which solution best fit my needs (AVD vs. W365)?

There is great guidance for pricing here: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-desktop/. The two services are not the same when it comes to multi-session Windows shared VMs in Azure Virtual Desktop. Windows 365 uses a dedicated Cloud PC per user, which is not shared. Also, the management and underlying services are streamlined in as part of Windows 365, whereas they are discrete services in Azure Virtual Desktop.

This will let me set the bar high at school with their mediocre ass technology💕💕

What is the cost for this?

@MSFTMechanics

It would depend on which Virtual Machines you choose and other options like FSLogix profiles, etc.

I don't understand well the difference between W365 and this service.

There are quite a few differences and it boils down to granularity of configurations and controls. Both options are great depending on your scenario and they can be used together.
