Oh man, am I glad that you've begun making videos on Azure now? The way you explain things is amazing and so practical too.

Another great video Jonathan, AVD is something I want to start offering to my Clients, so thanks very much. Your idea about doing a separate video on calculating pricing would be greatly appreciated, I often find the azure pricing calculator a challenge and am never actually sure if I trust it.

Thanks John. Azure pricing isn’t very clear is it!?

Great video Jon, you explain the process and use case so simple and easy to understand !

And another great video, you sir are tackling real world scenarios and modern work issues, you are the best

Jon Thank you immensely for simplifying such a complex subject matter with precision and clarity. Your videos are incredibly informative and straight to the point. Keep up the fantastic work!

Great video! This step-by-step guide for setting up Azure Virtual Desktop was incredibly helpful. Thanks for the clear and informative walkthrough.

Man, this was right on time!! I just had my supervisor ask me about a solution like this for some upcoming temp employees located across the US. I followed this exactly and it works perfectly! I’m going to be greedy and ask if you could do a video on configuring a thin client to connect automatically.

You added "all users" group rather than "AVD Users" to both assignment and Resource Group permissions. Othat than that it was a very sound video, great explaining and well paced!

Jonathan, Love this channel and appreciate your Azure expertise. One question: How does VDI differ from Desktop as a Service (DaaS) in the Microsoft world? What is the use case for DaaS vs. VDI?

great video, thank you! We are starting to look into AVD instead of Citrix DaaS. Same ideas mostly, Citrix offers their layer of management that differs from AVD, but it's $$. If I can get a similar administrative experience then AVD might be for us when our Citrix sub expires!

Thank you! :)

Hey Jonathan, great video. I do have a doubt. Recently I deployed two AVDs and I have enabled the time redirection for both AVDs under local group policy editor. My question is when I choose the time for windows update and restart as 3:00am, which timezone does the AVD follow? Is it UTC?

Great channel 😀 If a user logs on to the first host and the next time they logon due to load balancing they are logged on to the second host for their AVD. Would any configurations or changes they did to their profile be lost?

I fkkkking love you!! I want to Marty youtube😅 great video man!! THANKS! You got o new sub!!

1. If I have my users located at Europe and Asias region then do I need to create different Resource groups for each of them and create Hostpools accordingly, will it cause streaming issues for user when they access from different regions ? 2. If I have Intune deploying required security Apps and Config policies, how do I on board and deploy them if I choose AD join ? as Users need to access on prem infra and there's no Hybrid Entra join option. Thanks.

brilliant.. give away.. thanks

Hi Jonathan, I’m a big fan of you, watching every single video. I wonder how would you price the AVD environment to you 11 and 50 user client? Do you find out, if there is a bare minimum from a user count perspective? Thank you so much.

Great stuff as always. I am still a little confused though. If I have an E5 license this comes with VM but you still have to pay extra for usage? Is that right? I am looking for a solution right now that is just for me. I'm on a Mac but need Windows for testing things like Intune setup and also dealing with limitations with Mac Office Applications vs their Windows counterpart. Would you recommend this or some other way to do testing?

If just a single virtual desktop you need, look at Windows365. I have a video on my channel.

thanks Jonathan great video. I am seeing a lot about fslogix as well. How does this fit into all this? what are people using in place of roaming user profiles these days in a physical ad server environment?

@bearded365guy

23 күн бұрын

Yes, fslogix replaces roaming profiles. In my video i only used one session host so fslogix wasn’t required. In bigger implementations where you’re using multiple session hosts, then you would need to implement fslogix.

Hi Jonathan, what do you say to small/med businesses that still need to purchase thin clients in addition to the AVDs, from their point of view it would be 2x the cost but is this offset with the centralisation benefits that the AVDs provide?

@bearded365guy

3 ай бұрын

I don’t see too many businesses going down the thin client route. Thin clients are expensive even at the side of a standard device with an i3 processor. I do get the advantages of thin clients though.

Make a video on setting up a VM with GPU, n leverage free credits that’s given by Microsoft

Jonathan props for your video, I have a question tho. Isn't the second case and third case explained similar? At the end, neither company wanted to spend money on getting their equipment for them and they needed access to a private application. Correct me if am wrong. Additionally, wouldn't be easier to set up Windows in a VMs or EC2 instance and set up a Remote Desktop Connection for the users after installing the desired app in the instance.

Thanks for your message. Remote Desktop is slowly getting retired. It’s still OK to use today, but we wouldn’t put any new customers on RDP.

Are there any problems using linux clients? Another question: A few years ago, I worked at a company that used ThinClients (very cheap ones) with a simple interface with only host and password fields. Is it possible to use them to connect to AVD?
