You can now use Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session remote desktops in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center just as you can manage a shared Windows 10 or Windows 11 client device. When managing such virtual machines (VMs), you must use device-based configurations. Such configurations require user-less enrollments.

Microsoft Intune only supports managing Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session with device configurations. This means only [policies defined in the OS scope](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider) and apps configured to install in the system context can be applied to Azure Virtual Desktop multi-session VMs. Additionally, all multi-session configurations must be targeted to devices or device groups. User scope policies aren't supported at this time.
