Description

The ability to enable Azure Virtual Desktop within a workspace is a requirement for some customers.

Now that Azure AD join is in preview this is possible without Azure AD Domain Services: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm

Clipboard control: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/clipboard-transfer-direction-data-types?tabs=group-policy

The two scenarios that may be used are:

  • Personal desktops with local user profiles.
  • #1014

Acceptance Criteria

  • AVD Pooled "Workspace Service" can be deployed into a workspace
  • AVD Personal "Workspace Service" can be deployed into a workspace
  • Can edit on create and update number of VMs in AVD Pooled "Workspace Service"
  • Virtual Desktop "user resource" can be added to AVD Personal "workspace service" and is assigned to the user
  • User can connect to pooled desktop or personal desktops and log in with Azure AD account
  • Documentation and Workspace Services PR's to Azure TRE repository
