My thoughts were to determine if it’s possible to use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) to deploy an Operating System over the Internet with Azure Files. I still believe that installing Windows over the Internet should be possible, especially when having a lot of bandwidth. But it also caught my attention to use it for a different scenario.Ī while ago I wrote this post to install Windows 10 over the Internet. This makes a lot of File Servers become replaced by Azure Files. To me, this may become a huge game changer regarding File services, especially when authentication through AD DS becomes generally available. This has become possible since Azure Files supports identity-based authentication over Server Message Block (SMB) through Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS). Based on the PoC I must admit it works remarkably well. This is a requirement to use Azure Files to store the FSLogix profile containers. I used a simple Azure Reference Architecture to deploy the Virtual Network infrastructure, which is available at but without the ‘hybrid’ components like VPN/ExpressRoute and replaced the AD DS VMs with AAD DS. My goal was to use as many Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) components as possible resulting in a simple environment using the following services: Recently I was involved in doing a Proof of Concept (PoC) for Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) for one of my customers.
