Hi, I’m Christian Montoya, Senior PM Manager on the Windows Cloud Experiences Team at Microsoft. Each month, I host a live one-hour Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) event to discuss what’s new and help out with what is top of mind when it comes to Windows in the cloud. Our AMAs alternate between Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop, but one thing is always the same. This is a great chance to get answers to your questions and learn from many different members of the product, engineering, and customer experience teams.

Here’s what’s covered:
0:00 – Introductions
02:15 – Announcements
6:05 – How can I see what region the Windows 365 Cloud PC is deployed into?
14:55 – Is there a recommended method to connect from another allowed region, other than the one the PC is provisioned in?
24:05 – I really need to find a way to have AVD prompt every time a user logs on to their session for MS MFA. Cannot figure out how to do that with Conditional Access policy. A client we have in AVD is used to an MFA prompt for every PC login and expect to see that in AVD as well. Its psychological but regardless I have heard its possible. If we use the default Enforce MFA CAP if we have another policy just for AVD apps and choose “Every time” as a condition it still does not work.
27:45 – Can we use an on-prem domain controller for hybrid joined W365 PCs, or does it have to be an Azure DC?
38:05 – Can we have pooled AVD instances spread across multiple regions – like US and India – part of the same hostpool?
43:20 – Is it possible to get the CPU type/model info for a W365 CPC?
46:45 – How can I get a static IP address assigned to a group of W365 Enterprise PC’s that are connected to an Azure virtual network?
49:20 – Is it recommended to use AVD SSO in a BYOD scenario?
54:10 – Any chance to add a feature to Remote Desktop client to inform users whose Windows 365 Cloud PC is in grace period?
