Azure-docs: Quick question

[jpsebasti]

One thing that I'm unclear about right now while this is still in Preview mode.

It appears that there are two basic steps to this entire configuration.
Step 1 is to create the Windows Virtual Desktop tenant from Powershell. It appears that you must use an Azure AD account that does not have Multi Factor Authentication assigned to it. I have created my WVD tenant with a non MFA account.

Step 2 is to create your VM Host Pool from the Azure Portal. I did this but I used a different account (not the one that I used to create the tenant). When I created the host pool successfully and then tried logging into the WVD with the Remote Desktop Web Client, it told me that I didn't have any services yet.

So my question is when I create the host pool in the Azure Portal, do I need to be logged into the Azure Portal with the same user account that created the tenant from Powershell?

@jpsebasti Hi, thank you for the feedback. May I know which document you are referring to?

[jpsebasti]

This one first but in the comments is a reference to a second one that is more complete:
First I'm following the tutorials here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/overview

Then I referenced this one as the first comment in the above document points to this document as being more complete:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Getting-started-with-Windows-Virtual-Desktop/ba-p/391054

Can you answer my original question? Do I need to deploy the VM Host Pool with the same account that I used to create the Windows Virtual Desktop Tenant?

@Heidilohr @ChristianMontoya Can either of you please confirm on this and whether we should have this information added in this document: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Getting-started-with-Windows-Virtual-Desktop/ba-p/391054
Thanks :)

No, these do not need to be the same user. You must login to Azure with an account that can create resources, but then you provide the credentials for the Windows Virtual Desktop user (or service principal) that you assigned.
