AVD: auto-subscribe users to a workspace

Question

Greetings,

I would like to inquire if AutoSubscribe can be acheived via Group policy? If so, please provide step by step instructions. We do not have MEM in our environment.

I am referencing the link below and @Leila Kong had provided an MEM solution.

Hi @Kassa, Abel
Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

I have confirmed with the product team that -
Currently, auto-subscribe users to a workspace in AVD is only supported via Microsoft Endpoint Management (MEM).

Also, including the information shared by Leila in this post, for others to reference :

The latest RD Client update unlocks the functionality to enable you to automatically subscribe users into the RD Client. This requires the latest RD Client Insider version. Microsoft have announced that they have a new version of the RD Client on the Insider Ring. The big news is that this version now includes the ability to configure the client using Microsoft Endpoint Manager! This makes the process of migrating to WVD much easier as your WVD Clients will automatically be configured based on settings you supply.

Microsoft recently announced WVD auto registration policies for the insider version of RD client using Microsoft Endpoint Management (MEM) Intune policies. WVD ARM-based solution uses the following URL Auto Feed Registration for a subscription. This information is https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery (for WVD). Now, it’s time to look into the actual Intune policy configuration for WVD Auto Feed Registration Intune Policy Setup and the actual policy called Default Connection URL (user).
