For example, hardware inventory, software inventory, and software metering. When you decommission a pooled virtual machine, any changes made by Configuration Manager are lost.īecause the VM might only be operational for a short length of time, some Configuration Manager features may not return relevant data. You can use all Configuration Manager client features on the Remote Desktop Services server.įor more information, see Welcome to Remote Desktop Services. Install it once on the server that hosts Remote Desktop Services. You don't install the Configuration Manager client for individual Remote Desktop sessions. You can preinstall the Configuration Manager client on the VM image or after you provision it.įor more information, see Support for virtualization environments. Starting in version 1906, use Configuration Manager to manage these virtual devices running Windows in Azure.Ĭonfiguration Manager treats personal VMs the same as a physical computer. For example, if a required application can't run on the Windows Server that hosts the client sessions.Īzure Virtual Desktop: A desktop and app virtualization service that runs on Microsoft Azure. Pooled virtual machines are useful when you can't use Remote Desktop Services. When a user closes a session, the virtual environment discards all data and settings. Pooled virtual machines/Non-Persistent: The VM doesn't persist between sessions.

Users connect to a session and run applications on that server. Remote Desktop Services sessions: Host multiple, concurrent client sessions on a centralized server. Personal virtual machines: The virtual machine (VM) maintains user data and settings between sessions.

Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)Ĭonfiguration Manager supports installing the Configuration Manager client on the following virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) scenarios:
