Hi @Harinath R thanks for the question. Due to Azure Virtual Desktop (classic) will retire on 30 September 2026, please plan to transition to Azure Virtual Desktop by that date.
Azure Virtual Desktop fully replaces Azure Virtual Desktop (classic). Azure Virtual Desktop includes, but isn’t limited to, the following benefits:
- Deployments via Azure Resource Manager
- Unified resource management
- Improved networking and security
- Scaling and automation features
- Feature availability and updates
To avoid service disruptions, please follow our instructions to migrate to Azure Virtual Desktop by 30 September 2026.
- Migrate manually from Azure Virtual Desktop (classic)
- Migrate automatically from Azure Virtual Desktop (classic)
If you need specific help migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop please let us know.
