Businesses have deployed Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) in production. However, many AVD environments are still not utilizing full capabilities of FSLogix and Windows 10/Windows 11 or these AVD environments might be missing recommended settings. We have designed AVD Assessment Tool that can be used to perform assessment of complete AVD environment and provide an Assessment Report which includes issues and recommendations to fix the issues.

Before you can use SmartProfiler for Azure Virtual Desktop you are required to register an Azure Virtual Desktop Tenant or AVD Tenant. Note that you can register unlimited AVD Tenants with SmartProfiler. The process for registering AVD Tenant under SmartProfiler is same as registering AD Forest or Office 365 Tenant except you will need to provide Azure AD Application details. To register AVD Tenant to be used with SmartProfiler Assessment, lunch tool and then click on “Register New” button.
