Hi I am stuck here. I need to setup 8 users for an azure windows enterprise multisession virtual machine I have created. How do I connect the users (they have all 365 business premium licenses) to the vm so they can login more than 2 at a time? Or do I have to recreate using host pool. Still how to connect the Entry users?

    To set up and connect multiple users to an Azure Windows Enterprise multi-session virtual machine, follow these steps:

    1. Create a Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) Host Pool:
      • You need to create a host pool in Azure to support multi-session capabilities.
        • Go to the Azure portal, navigate to "Windows Virtual Desktop" and create a new host pool.
        1. Set Up the Host Pool:
          • In the host pool setup, select the VM size and the number of VMs you need. Since you have 8 users, ensure your VM size can handle multiple sessions.
            • Assign the Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session image during the setup.
              • Configure the host pool to use a load balancing algorithm, such as Breadth-First, to evenly distribute the user sessions.
              1. Add a Virtual Machine to the Host Pool:
                • Within the host pool, add your existing VM or create new ones that will be part of this host pool.
                1. Assign Users to the Host Pool:
                  • In the Azure portal, go to the Windows Virtual Desktop section and select the host pool you created.
                    • Under "Assignments," add the users (the ones with 365 business premium licenses) to the host pool. This step ensures that these users are allowed to connect to the virtual machines in the host pool.
                    1. Set Up Azure Active Directory (AD):
                      • Ensure that your Azure AD is properly set up and that the users are part of this directory. The users need to be synchronized with Azure AD to authenticate.
                      1. Install the Remote Desktop Client:
                        • Each user needs to install the Remote Desktop client. This client is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
                          • Users can download the client from the official Microsoft Remote Desktop client download page.
                          1. Provide Connection Information:
                            • Users need the URL of the WVD service to connect. This is usually in the format of https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com.
    2. Connect to the Virtual Desktop:
      • Users open the Remote Desktop client and enter their Azure AD credentials along with the WVD URL.
      • Once authenticated, they should see the available resources (i.e., the multi-session virtual machines).
