We setup a new VDI running AVD and is currently joined directly to Entra ID. We were having problems logging into it, until we found this setting on RDP. The "Use a web account to sign into the remote computer" allowed us to get in. Normally, I'd know where you edit the RDP file to add that permanently.

We extensively use AVD, both us and our clients. Logging in the same way via that client does not work.

Is there any way to get this working with the Remote Desktop connection? I've looked around in various settings menus and no luck. If we have to, we can join this VDI to the normal domain via Entra ID DS, but I'd rather not go that route if I have to.

    To access Microsoft Entra joined VMs using the web, Android, macOS and iOS clients, you must add targetisaadjoined:i:1 as a custom RDP property to the host pool. Did you already do that?

    Hello,

    Ensure your AVD network is functioning correctly, verify that your account can authenticate and log in to your PC. Determine if a jump server or gateway is necessary for connecting to your PC.
