Corrections in Cloud PC authentication section
Looks like a copy/paste error (should be that the user must authenticate to the cloud PC, not the Windows 365 service. Using full term of AADJ and HAADJ to avoid turning the acronym into a verb (AADJed/HAADJed) - feel free to adjust. Finally - added a section that Smartcard and Windows Hello for Business require line of sight to the DCs.
