Hi everyone. Looking for some guidance on a couple of questions below.

We plan to deploy ~ 50 Windows 365 Cloud PC workstations for remote users. And then we are going to use Cisco Anyconnect split tunneling into our corporate offices using Cisco ASA. Below are my questions.

1st Question
When we connect Cisco Anyconnect we lose connectivity to our Cloud PC workstation. Does anyone have a list of what networks we should bypass from split tunneling for Cloud PC LAN IP's? Is there a dedicated RFC1918 space ? I do not have direct access to the portal to look at setups and documentation is a bit of a rabbit hole as Im still learning this.

2nd Question
With this solution, can you build a dedicated VPN tunnel somehow into our premise Cisco ASA's? I know you can do this with Azure Cloud but Im not clear if thats an option for Cloud PC from Microsoft.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

    Hey thanks for the feedback, but this is for Azure Virtual Desktop, I was looking at the Windows Cloud PC using Microsoft 365.

    Hi @Glenn Thomas

    Yes, you are right VPN Gateway is available only for Azure. Maybe this will answer your second question.

    -Okay, so if this is running in the cloud, can you still get to things that are in your local office's network, like shared files or folders, internet apps, you know, where you might have to otherwise drive into the office or connect via VPN?

    -Yeah, you can. We designed Windows 365 from the ground up to fit the hybrid work experience we've all been living. Now ordinarily, connecting directly to your work network with a personal device can introduce risk. And because your Cloud PCs can always be connected to your work network, you don't need to worry about local or VPN access from a personally owned device.
