Microsoft Endpoint Manager for Azure Virtual Desktop

We recommend using Microsoft Endpoint Manager to manage your Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Microsoft Endpoint Manager is a unified management platform that includes Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager

Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager versions 1906 and later can manage your domain-joined and Hybrid Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)-joined session hosts. For more information, see Supported OS versions for clients and devices for Configuration Manager.

Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune can manage your Azure AD-joined and Hybrid Azure AD-joined session hosts. To learn more about using Intune to manage Windows 11 and Windows 10 single session hosts, see Using Azure Virtual Desktop with Intune.

For Windows 11 and Windows 10 multi-session hosts, Intune currently supports device-based configurations. User scope configurations are also currently in preview on Windows 11. To learn more about using Intune to manage multi-session hosts, see Using Azure Virtual Desktop multi-session with Intune.

Note

Managing Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts using Intune is currently supported in the Azure Public and Azure Government clouds.
