Windows 365: Why is the WVDAgentUrlTool so hard to get? It's to check prerequisities but can only be downloaded DURING deployment

So trying to get the prerequisites for deploying a cloud pc (windows 365), I started here:

And now the journey begins....

So this tool, which is part of another tool, can only be gotten if you already are in the process of deploying Azure Virtual Desktop. I don't even need AVD, i just want to easily check windows 365 requirements.

What part of "prerequisites" does Microsoft not understand ? :p . I also don't understand why .net framework is needed. It's a pity you guys didn't push this in a powershell script or something.

Windows 365 Enterprise

    @KenVB, Thanks for posting in Q&A. The Azure Virtual Desktop Agent URL Tool is a tool that is used to validate whether session hosts can access specific FQDNs and endpoints required for Azure Virtual Desktop. It is included in the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent (RDAgent) installation folder and requires .NET 4.6.2 framework to be installed on the session host. It is not available as a standalone download and can only be obtained as part of the RDAgent installation.

    In addition, it is not possible to use the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent URL Tool to check Windows 365 requirements as it is specifically designed for Azure Virtual Desktop. And currently there's no tool can check the requirement for Windows 365. You can feedback in the following link to see if we can get one in the future.

    Best regards.
