bringing an office environment into azure - is WVD the right solution?

Hi everyone,


I have the following situation:
A small company wants to move its office. During this, the whole network should be transfered to azure. It contains only three computers with mostly standard software like Word, Excel, Outlook etc.
On one computer is also a server for a specific software installed. The other computer are connecting to this as clients.

In my understanding this can be easily setup in Windows Virtual Desktop. But I am not sure what I need.

In my understanding it is enough to setup a WVD instance for three users, select a storage and that is it.

But:
Someone said to me that I also need an addition virtual machine for azure active directory. Is this truly necessary? I thought I can use AAD without an explicit domain controller.

So what is true? Is it enough to calculate only with WVD or is any addition ressource required?

Thanks for your time and help.

kind regards from Vienna

Here you can find the requirements for Azure Windows Virtual Desktop:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/overview#requirements

Beside the client VMs you need:

  • Azure Subscription (you need anyway)

  • Azure AD (you have anyway)

  • A Windows Server Active Directory (could be another VM with AD role installed or an Azure AD Domain Service)
