Deprovision a Windows 365 cloud PC by unassigning the license, managing the seven-day grace period, and optionally ending grace early via Intune, then verify access is removed.

Visualizes how Windows 365 connects to Azure networks via VNet and subnets through Azure network connections, enabling communication with on-premises resources via a VPN gateway or ExpressRoute.

Create and configure an Azure VNet with subnets in a resource group in East US, enable DHCP-based addressing, and enable inter-subnet routing and VNet peering.

Delegate three Windows 365 permissions to access Azure networking: grant subscription reader, assign network interface contributor on the resource group, and assign network user on the virtual network.

Create a Microsoft intra join azure network connection in Windows 365 and Intune by selecting subscription, resource group, VNet, and subnet, then review, create, and verify checks.

Verify the Azure network connection health by reviewing checks, including the virtual network adapter (vnic) tests behind the scenes. Confirm all checks pass and review connection properties.

Assign the Windows 365 enterprise license, create a new Intune provisioning policy for Entra ID joined Azure network connected Windows 365 PC linked to VNet1 with single sign-on.

Set up a Windows Server virtual machine on an Azure VNet for testing, including quick VM creation, VNet integration, RDP access, and auto shutdown.

Verify connectivity between a Windows 365 pc and a Windows Server by confirming provisioning, an Azure VNet connected via a virtual nic, and a successful client-to-server ping.

Deprovision the Windows 365 PC to prepare for hybrid deployment, unassign the license, end the grace period in Intune, and adjust the provisioning policy for on-prem active directory.

Register a custom DNS domain for a hybrid lab by purchasing a cheap domain (GoDaddy) and verifying ownership with a TXT record, then register and verify it in Azure.

Explore hybrid deployment options for Windows 365, comparing on-premise AD and Azure integration, and learn to simulate a domain joined Windows 365 PC using a virtual domain controller.

Promote a windows server in azure to a domain controller, install ad ds, configure dns, and create the lab domain lp windows 365.top with an ou and a test user.

Install Entra Connect Sync on a domain controller to enable hybrid identity, configure password hash synchronization with seamless single sign-on, and selectively synchronize objects to Microsoft intra ID.

Configure device sync with Azure AD Connect (soon Intra Connect) to enable hybrid Azure AD join, syncing on-premises domain accounts into Azure AD and Intune for Windows 365.

Assign reader and network contributor roles in Azure, ensuring Windows 365 has access to the subscription and resources. Configure vnet dns to the domain controller address (10.1.1.4) for hybrid provisioning.

Configure a hybrid Windows 365 deployment by provisioning a Windows 365 PC, licensing users with Microsoft 365 E5 and Windows 365 enterprise licenses, and creating a hybrid Azure network connection.

Provision a Windows 365 pc to a hybrid environment by creating a provisioning policy in Intune, selecting hybrid join, vnet, and single sign-on, then wait for completion.

Test provisioning of a hybrid Entra joined Windows 365 PC by logging in with fresh credentials in a private window and verifying domain membership and DNS connectivity.

Deprovision and clean up the lab for the Windows 365 course with Intune administration and simulations by removing licenses, provisioning policies, network connections, and the resource group.

Create a reference Windows computer by provisioning a Windows 11 Enterprise VM in Azure, install Chrome and Foxit via Ninite, then stop to capture a custom image for Windows 365.

Create a snapshot of the reference PC disk in portal.azure.com, choosing a full copy with standard HDD, then create a new disk in the capture resource group.

Create a VM from the capture disk in Azure, then run Sysprep to generalize and prepare it for imaging as a custom VM image.

Create a capture image from a generalized VM after Sysprep by using the portal to select the VM, click capture, and store the image in the reference resource group.

Assign the Microsoft 365 and Windows 365 licenses to yourself, then import a custom image in Intune under devices, Windows 365, custom images, and verify the upload succeeds.

Provision a Windows 365 PC with a custom image using Intune provisioning policies, including selecting the image, applying a name template, selecting a group, and monitoring provisioning.

Verify the Windows 365 custom imaged PC is provisioned by checking provisioning policies and all cloud PCs in Intune, then confirm the two apps indicate the image deployed.
