It provided a comprehensive, efficient, and easy-to-understand picture of the entire deployment flow for a virtual desktop deployment.

I'm a novice when it comes to VD provisioning in Azure, and I found the course very helpful for my understanding. Reason for a 4 rating is because you promised a notepad resource which is not available under learning tools.

This is a must course for someone who would like to learn Windows Virtual Desktop quickly. It is a detailed course, but also easy to understand. MANY THANKS!

We are a small medical industry tech company. I have spent days trying to figure this install out from utube and 'expert' advise. Microsoft assistance (even the paid for one) was too granular and big corporation focused. This course was just right and I now have 16 working AVD desktops on FS Logix profiles and our ISO27001 is now well on its way to being under control ! Many thanks. D

Course has all point I was look for regarding AVDs. Excellent explanation of the technology. Easy to follow while performing all takes to set up your own AVD environment. Weather test or production.

I've been taking a mix of Virtual Desktop courses including reading from Microsoft, this is a pretty good course to get you up and running.

Excellent course along with good presentation skills, i learned lot of thing with this course. Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!
By Richard Reinders on 4/13/2021
Basicly the course learns you everything it told you it would. How to deploy a WVD in Azure. However along the way a lot of settings are made which could have been explained better. But still if you follow this course you can at the end, deploy a WVD via Azure.

This has to be the best Udemy presenter I have ever heard. Wow, I absolutely love the simple and clear instruction. Very easy to follow, thanks! Definitely a Trainer I will follow from here on out! Great work.
By Gihan Weerasinghe on 3/9/2021
Very well presented, Kudos to that. Why I didn't give it 5 stars is only because it's lacking a section of troubleshooting, to identify the logs. Overall it's a great course to get you up and running in no time. Thanks!!.
