App-V Scheduler) and used it as a jump box. In my case, I also used this server for my own tools (e.g. When using WVD, this isn’t going to needed going forward UNLESS like me you want to use the CloudJumper services (Live Scaling, Workload Scheduling, Wake on Demand) to help operate your WVD. This is a VM that will be used for running some unique CloudJumper services like it’s cool Live Scaling capabilities which I will get into a little later in this blog post. The Azure AD option is nice and quick! Click Next ->įor the initial machine setup, I select a single Windows Server 2016 Server with no FTP feature enabled for the Platform VM. Alternatively, if you would like to choose internal you can build and use Active Directory running on VMs, you’ll want to go down that path with the wizard. My prerequisite was that I already had an Azure Active Directory presence so it was very easy for me to just use that. You can setup some generic addresses for your E-mail notifications and set a level 3 admin account for your initial VM setup then click Next -> Give a suitable password for the initial VM admin account. Select your tenant’s Azure region in the Location dropdown box and click Next -> Simply select your subscription from the dropdown box. When you have completed the sign-up, you should be able to start your setup through the setup wizard with your Azure login. You may need to work with somebody who is a Global Admin in your org in order to complete the setup if you are not able to get that yourself. One other thing you’re going to need is Azure Global Admin rights. If you are in EUC and this is your first venture into Azure, first of all, welcome, if your organization already uses Office 365 and Azure Active Directory you should be in a good starting place and already have the same pre-requisites in-place. I also had Azure Active Directory setup and in-place with my on-premises AD syncing to the cloud via AD Connect. I already had my Azure subscription in place with a handy $150 a month credit. If you haven’t tried WVD yet or you did kick the tyres a little and want to try again (in which case, go into Azure and clear all of your previous setup’s resources) you can use use CWMS as it is completely free until January 2020 through and follow this guide (Correct as of September 2019): Now I don’t see why I would go through setting up WVD any other way. I didn’t think it was all that difficult but then I tried the setup from scratch using the free trial of CloudJumper’s CWMS. You see that? In my opinion, it’s a disjointed experience, working partly in the Azure portal, partly in PowerShell, browsing out to a separate RD URL. If you want to get an idea of what I mean check out Christian’s excellent blog post that details step by step the setup of WVD: HERE I didn’t really struggle with the setup per se but it wasn’t very streamlined, in my opinion. I’m going to go into detail on my thoughts of WVD in another blog post but what I will say is that I went through the setup of WVD and took screenshots with the intention to post a blog on that setup but many others got there before me. For several months, I have also been playing with Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop public preview which has been a fun and interesting experience. Back in May, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try out CloudJumper’s Cloud Workspace Management Suite, which was pretty cool.
