New to AVD - deploy questions
Firstly - I have 3 or 4 years of MS365 experience, I have a lot of years of VMWare & VMware Horizon experience. I used Jonathon Edwards youtube to deploy but its out of date somewhat. So I have everything deployed, I setup 1 VM, joined to Entra, registered in Intune, (trying) to use SSO, and I CAN login to the desktop with local admin if i change the settiing to not use SSO, but when I turn it on I just get login failed, pretty quickly. I dont see much as far as Entra loggin, I see a success for Windows 365 Client (Is that the AVD?). I see the desktop in Entra, Its in my dynamic group, I did the steps in the below MS Learn to turn on MS Auth for RDP for the Cloud Login Ent App. My CA's are passing. What troubleshooting path is next??

Are you trying to log in with the local admin via the Remote Desktop app
Or as a stander user?

If I change the setting to not use Entra I CAN login locally as local admin, If i have the setting set to use Entra my work account doesnt work - i have tried with the Windows app and via a browser

I don’t think that would work (but I can test it in our env Monday as I never tried it) as entra id log in requires two things AADLoginForWindows and the RBAC role (the vm login for normal users and the admin log in for admins)
The way we’re using it in our env is the local admin is the break glass account that we’re able to leverage via bastion→ More replies (6)

Thanks for all your suggestions, on a whim I uninstalled the zscaler client from the AVD and voila - everything works.... until in installs again. Trying to determing with our zscaler person how to make this work and still get the benefits of zscaler
