Windows 365 Cloud PCs are created and managed in Intune, and Windows Enterprise multi-session session hosts on Azure Virtual Desktop can be enrolled in Intune too. The host pools themselves, scaling plans and Azure Virtual Desktop Insights still live in the Azure portal, so in practice you work across two consoles with one set of identities and policies underneath."},{q:"Can I use the same image for AVD and Windows 365?",a:"Not as one image for both. Microsoft's Windows 365 image requirements say custom images must be single session, must not contain FSLogix components, and must never have been domain joined, Entra joined or Intune enrolled. A pooled AVD host usually runs Windows Enterprise multi-session with FSLogix installed. You can share the build process, the application list and the starting gallery image, but you end up with two outputs."},{q:"Do Windows 365 Cloud PCs need FSLogix?",a:"No. In Windows 365 Enterprise and Business, each user has a 1:1 relationship with their own Cloud PC, so the profile simply lives on that machine. Microsoft's image requirements for Windows 365 also rule out FSLogix components in a custom image. FSLogix belongs on pooled Azure Virtual Desktop hosts, where users land on a different session host each day."},{q:"Do I need separate Conditional Access policies for AVD and Windows 365?",a:"You need policies that cover three Microsoft Entra apps: Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop and, if you use single sign-on, Windows Cloud Login. Microsoft recommends matching the policies across those apps, because a Cloud PC connection uses all of them. One well-scoped set covers both platforms, as long as nobody adds an exclusion to one app and forgets the others."},{q:"When should we consolidate onto one platform?",a:"When the reason for having two has gone. Typical signs are a platform with very few users left on it, the same kind of user split across both for no clear reason, or two image pipelines maintained for one set of applications.
