The confusion between wvd now avd and microsoft 365 is really common. This is a really great video at showing the differences. It will actually help people buy the right thing versus trying to decide and running away! Nice work John.
Really enjoyed this deep dive. Very easy to understand and highly informative. Best technical video I have seen in a long kind time. Looking forward to going through all your video content. 👍🏻
John- you have explained the concept of win 365 from the hierarchy RRDS >AVD>win 365 ...Good stuff......keeping moving with your great Tech magic skils 👍
OMFG! I've been agonising over "why have they made this still so complex". To then watch your video and now realise I should have signed up for business not enterprise. You have literally saved my sanity!!!
@@NTFAQGuy Just a quick follow-up after using the business edition for a couple days - did you know the Internet geolocation won't necessarily match up with your country? In my case, I'm located in Australia, but if I use the internet via the W365 I am located 3900 miles away in Singapore. This has HUGE implications as you might imagine.
@@NTFAQGuy the business edition of the license unfortunately does not let you select a region it is located in. Enterprise might but I'm not using that, and I know with Azure VM you have full control on region you'd like. Apparently there are a few regions of Europe and my instance here in Australia where the (business license) Windows 365 is located thousands of miles away.
like it!! I used to manage VDI infrastructure On Premises using Microsoft Technologies and it was a lot of work in order to mantain all up and running jaja :(
Great stuff and very well presented. I do have [2] questions that maybe you can clarify. 1. Does the enterprise SKU support AAD (as of today)? All the marketing material I have read claims it does. 2. Can you publish apps with enterprise? Thanks again for your deep dive presentation.
Hi @John Thanks for this amazingly simplified presentation - Really appreciate it. I have a question - Do we need to take backups of the Windows 365 Instances that we created use under the enterprise plan ? What is end users save data on those cloud Pc's. How do we ensure the data is not lost.
Obviously great video. From the resources in your subscription perspective I did see that the NIC was attached to a resource but you didn’t click on it. Is it another reproduce in the sub including the vnet? Thanks!
Great Video John. Just want to make sure I understand one thing correctly. If you are a cloud only company with no on prem dc's (only aadds) but would like to utilize enterprise and MEM to manage this, you are out of luck right now?
Hi John. Thanks for the great video! I have some questions about the security aspects of windows 365. On the enterprise SKU, there is a vnet integration. Should that VNet/subnet be secured with NSG and/or firewall? Am I right to assume that RDP port 3389 is open to the internet? What would you say is the best practice, leave it as-is after provisioning or should there be additional security measures be taken?
No as I mentioned the desktop make a connection to the gateway which facilitates client connections. There is no 3389 or any other port inbound from internet. You would protect like any other vnet
Hey J, great tutorials like always. :) Question: For Developers (software org) guessing that would not be a good solution? With Visual Studio and other Dev tools running on this VM. I was looking at the WVD which was pretty damn expensive for 220 Devs 11K per month :( ... any recommendation for Dev org VDI solution
Value is in the eye of the beholder and how you really compare total costs. Avd is consumption based as I explained so cost varies on usage. You could look at github codepspaces but that will use vms as well. Ultimately if you want a cloud solution the minimum you will pay is the time the resource runs which is what avd and codespaces does.
Hi John, very useful as usually. However, I have a question. How is Windows 365 in relationship to AVD in pricing. I understand it is completely different, in terms of configuration. Let's say I want Windows 365, with 4 CPU's, 16 GB of memory and 256 GB storage, if i configure this in AAD with AVD to have the same configuration, I can imagine it is more expensive. I hope you can shine your light on this. Regards, Roderik (The Netherlands)
As I mentioned in video avd is consumption based so pricing would completely depend on when running, use of multisession etc. you would have to understand your expected usage to ascertain actual pricing for avd
Such a great breakdown of this, thank you John. I can already see the huge value in this for my users and environment. And to whoever this one person that keep downvoting john's videos: i will find you, and i will make you upvote... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I lost my time watching others Windows 365 videos. Next time I'll start here on this channel. Thank John.
Thanks

Nice work John.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
great material, very user friendly explanation, brief description everything i wanted to know about it. Thanks John! Great job
Thanks!
Absolutely Amazing 🤩 You are my inspiration to Microsoft Azure Love your work in Pluralsight as well 👌🏾
Thanks!
Good stuff John, thanks for breaking it down into simple bits.
Thanks for a great presentation John. Appreciate your effort !!!
Very welcome
Thank you. I haven't managed to get access to Windows 365 yet, your video clarified the questions I had.
You always know when things get serious as the gold colour gets pulled out...
Lol or John has just not planned colors well enough :)
As always perfect, thank you John

Awesome, thank you. Welcome aboard :)
Your channel is amazing. Keep up the good work
Thank you for this. It has filled in several gaps in my knowledge.
Perfect, thank you
Great Video, very informative. As Usual.

hehe, thanks.
Great video, thank you John
Very informative session. Thanks John 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, John :) Hopefully Windows 365 can replace most of our VDI's on our on-prem environment..
I think they have done a great job.
Thanks for the content. Love it 100%

@@jakemacleay it will match region you deploy desktops to not where your physical desktop is

Excellent walkthrough. Thank you . 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks John, you closed a huge knowledge gap on why a customer may want to go this route over Azure virtual desktop in an easily consumable way.
Great
This was really well put together and explained. I'm looking at doing a 100 user migration to Windows 365 soon and appreciate your input!
Great explains thanks a lot!
Welcome
this was brilliant, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid John. Quick question: At 32:08 , I assume that wouldn't be needed for Windows 365 Business sku?
Correct. Also for future reference its better to make your question contained so I don't have to watch my own video to help you :-)
Merci beaucoup !
Great content!

1 Yes aad now, 2 no desktop only
🍻
awesome
Great information - loved the deep dive. Hey, do something like this for Microsoft 365 licensing! :}
Nope :)
@@NTFAQGuy
Wonderful..
Many thanks!

If its on the OneDrive etc it is protected.
Thanks John, great content and very informative. Can you also use AD Group Policies with Enterprise along with MEM or only MEM will work?
It is joined to domain so yes.
@@NTFAQGuy Thanks! Awesome work!
Obviously great video. From the resources in your subscription perspective I did see that the NIC was attached to a resource but you didn’t click on it. Is it another reproduce in the sub including the vnet?
Thanks!
Not a resource you have access to.
Great Video John. Just want to make sure I understand one thing correctly. If you are a cloud only company with no on prem dc's (only aadds) but would like to utilize enterprise and MEM to manage this, you are out of luck right now?
Today you need adds somewhere correct. That will be changing.
@@NTFAQGuy Thank you. Any clue on timeframe for this change?
Thank you!
