5 months ago @bobstothard I'm going to assign this to the document author so they can take a look at it accordingly.
@dknappettmsft please review it.

4 months ago Hi @bobstothard - sorry for the delay. I'm told it's because you can't deploy Microsoft Entra ID joined VMs isn't supported on Azure Stack HCI. You can see in the screenshot about half way down in this article where for domain join: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/manage/create-arc-virtual-machines?tabs=azureportal. It's not an Azure Virtual Desktop limitation, so it requires Azure Stack HCI support.

4 months ago Hi @dknappettmsft, thanks for getting back to me, if i'm looking at the correct screenshot, that just looks like an option to join it to a domain. I've also found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-virtual-desktop?toc=%2Fazure-stack%2Fhci%2Ftoc.json&bc=%2Fazure-stack%2Fbreadcrumb%2Ftoc.json&tabs=portal#microsoft-entra-joined-session-hosts
Which does look like you can EntraID join a session host running on HCI??

4 months ago @bobstothard - correct, the only option is to join it to an Active Directory domain. That article you provided the link for is the all up deploying AVD article, which covers both session hosts in Azure and on Azure Stack HCI, that the HCI team have included in their table of contents (if you just load https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-virtual-desktop, you'll see it's a native AVD article). I'll make a small change to that paragraph that says it's for Azure only.

4 months ago @bobstothard it's just made to look like that, it's an AVD article. Look at the URL, the first half of it is the same as the native AVD article, but then there are some parameters on the end to make it look like HCI. Here are the two URLs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-virtual-desktop
They both load the same content, but one has parameters on the end to make it have an HCI table of contents and links at the top (breadcrumbs).
Is there anyone that is able to explain what is causing the AVD Azure Stack HCI dependency with Active Directory Domain Services domain.
We are currently utilising AVD in Azure with Entra ID joined, fully managed by intune.
We now have a new requirement for a remote access solution, but due to the nature of the content consumed in those sessions, it has to be an on-premise solution. So we were planning to use Azure Stack HCI, however due to this dependency with Active Directory Domain Services, it does not fit our model.
what/why is that dependency?
Link the article and limitation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/azure-stack-hci-overview#:~:text=You%20can%20only%20join%20session%20hosts%20on%20Azure%20Stack%20HCI%20to%20an%20Active%20Directory%20Domain%20Services%20domain.
