Introduction
Azure Virtual Desktop provides organizations with a flexible and scalable virtual desktop and remote application platform hosted in Microsoft Azure. By integrating Azure Virtual Desktop with Microsoft Intune, administrators can apply modern endpoint management practices to session hosts and virtualized Windows environments using the same cloud-based management tools used for physical devices and Cloud PCs.
Modern organizations increasingly require centralized management, identity-driven security, and consistent compliance controls across both physical and virtual endpoints. Integrating Azure Virtual Desktop with Microsoft Intune allows administrators to manage virtual desktops alongside traditional endpoints through a unified management platform while supporting hybrid work, remote access, and cloud-first endpoint strategies.
In this module, you learn how Azure Virtual Desktop integrates with Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft security services to provide centralized configuration, compliance management, application deployment, and endpoint security management for virtual desktop environments.
