Configuring User Experience Settings in Azure Virtual Desktop
An important aspect of any Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment is ensuring you are able to manage the environment and apps in an efficient manner. This includes managing printers and policies and being able to troubleshoot issues quickly. This in turn gives a much smoother experience to end-users. AVD allows integration with both on-premises and cloud-native services, which allows you to:
- Deploy group policies and cloud-managed policies to manage user settings
- Deploy printers via Azure
- Configure environment properties
- Troubleshoot issues
Ensuring settings within the environment are configured correctly is an important factor in giving the end-user a good experience when they are using Azure Virtual Desktop. This lesson will help you to configure end-user experience settings and allow you to streamline your Azure Virtual Desktop experience.
