Configuration Information
Environment construction varies according to presence of a linked Active Directory in the client environment.
Active Directory link patterns
With link
Customers wishing to link their existing Active Directory to the Azure environment need to establish an Express Route or VPN. This enables verification in a closer approximation to the actual environment.
Without link
If linking is not necessary, Express Route and/or VPN are not required for initial establishment of Microsoft Entra ID on Azure. Verification can be carried out without influencing the customer’s environment.
| Common to both patterns | |
|---|---|
| Service form | VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure |
| Desktop environment | Microsoft Azure (AVD) |
| Hardware requirement | None |
| Microsoft Azure contract | required |
| OS | Windows 10 (Virtual desktop) Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 (Published desktops; published applications) |
| Implementation period | 3+ weeks (from meeting with client for requirements to environment handover) |
- Must provide group policy, organizational unit, and user account required for VDI. Additionally, customers are responsible for adjustments to their existing Active Directory environment.
- Customers are responsible for costs associated with usage of the Microsoft Azure environment (customer subscription fee).
- An Express Route (a leased line linking the customer with Microsoft Azure) or VPN line is a prerequisite, and requires a separate cost estimate.
- Azure Active Directory has been renamed Microsoft Entra ID.Resource
