Hi All,

Goal: Setup a cloud environment that allows cloud users to be able to log into the Windows Virtual Desktop

Context:
I have signed up for the 90 day trial Azure AD Premium P2 license which also supplies the Microsoft 365 E5 Developer (without Windows and Audio Conferencing).
Also using my admin account created within the trial tenant, I have signed up for the 12month of free services with USD200 credit.

I have configured the Azure AD DS (no errors when provisioned). Kept the default domain name. I have set-up the Windows Virtual Desktop following the set-up wizard.

Issue:
I have successfully signed into my workspace using a cloud user credential via web client (https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient). When attempting to launch the session desktop, it prompts me to re-enter my credentials in which it returns sign in error (see attached image)

Troubleshoot steps:
Updated my cloud user password after AAD DS was created
Created new cloud user
Recreated the Host pool - Multisession

If anyone could provide some assistance, it would be much appreciated.

    Just an update I believe this is what resolved the problem.

    I had to enable the PKU2U local policy on both client and VM.

    See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/network-security-allow-pku2u-authentication-requests-to-this-computer-to-use-online-identities for more details.
