 Domain controllers automatically request a domain controller certificate (if published) when they discover an enterprise certificate authority is added to Active Directory.  However, certificates based on the *Domain Controller* and *Domain Controller Authentication* certificate templates do not include the **KDC Authentication** object identifier (OID), which was later added to the Kerberos RFC.

 # Onboard Windows 10 multi-session devices in Windows Virtual Desktop 
-6 minutes to read 
 
 Applies to: 
 - Windows 10 multi-session running on Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) 
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> Microsoft Defender for Endpoint support for Windows Virtual Desktop multi-session scenarios is currently in Preview and limited up to 25 concurrent sessions per host/VM. However, single session scenarios on Windows Virtual Desktop are fully supported.
-
 Microsoft Defender for Endpoint supports monitoring both VDI as well as Windows Virtual Desktop sessions. Depending on your organization's needs, you might need to implement VDI or Windows Virtual Desktop sessions to help your employees access corporate data and apps from an unmanaged device, remote location, or similar scenario. With Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you can monitor these virtual machines for anomalous activity.
 
  ## Before you begin
-Familiarize yourself with the [considerations for non-persistent VDI](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-endpoints-vdi#onboard-non-persistent-virtual-desktop-infrastructure-vdi-devices-1). While [Windows Virtual Desktop](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/overview) does not provide non-persistence options, it does provide ways to use a golden Windows image that can be used to provision new hosts and redeploy machines. This increases volatility in the environment and thus impacts what entries are created and maintained in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint portal, potentially reducing visibility for your security analysts.

This increases volatility in the environment, and thus impacts what entries are created and maintained in the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)), potentially reducing visibility for your security analysts.

+> Depending on your choice of onboarding method, devices can appear in Microsoft Defender Security Center as either: 
 > - Single entry for each virtual desktop 
 > - Multiple entries for each virtual desktop 
 
-Microsoft recommends onboarding Windows Virtual Desktop as a single entry per virtual desktop. This ensures that the investigation experience in the Microsoft Defender Endpoint portal is in the context of one device based on the machine name. Organizations that frequently delete and re-deploy WVD hosts should strongly consider using this method as it prevents multiple objects for the same machine from being created in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint portal. This can lead to confusion when investigating incidents. For test or non-volatile environments, you may opt to choose differently.

This can lead to confusion when investigating incidents. For test or non-volatile environments, you may opt to choose differently. 
 
-Microsoft recommends adding the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint onboarding script to the WVD golden image. This way, you can be sure that this onboarding script runs immediately at first boot. It is executed as a startup script at first boot on all the WVD machines that are provisioned from the WVD golden image. However, if you are using one of the gallery images without modification, place the script in a shared location and call it from either local or domain group policy.

 > [!NOTE]
 > The placement and configuration of the VDI onboarding startup script on the WVD golden image configures it as a startup script that runs when the WVD starts. It is NOT recommended to onboard the actual WVD golden image. Another consideration is the method used to run the script. It should run as early in the startup/provisioning process as possible to reduce the time between the machine being available to receive sessions and the device onboarding to the service. Below scenarios 1 & 2 take this into account.
 
-### Scenarios
+## Scenarios
 There are several ways to onboard a WVD host machine:
 
 - Run the script in the golden image (or from a shared location) during startup.
 - Use a management tool to run the script.

+### Scenario 1: Using local group policy
 This scenario requires placing the script in a golden image and uses local group policy to run early in the boot process.

 Follow the instructions for a single entry for each device.
 
-#### *Scenario 2: Using domain group policy*

 ## How does controlled folder access work?
 
 Controlled folder access works by only allowing trusted apps to access protected folders. Protected folders are specified when controlled folder access is configured. Typically, commonly used folders, such as those used for documents, pictures, downloads, and so on, are included in the list of controlled folders. 
 
-Controlled folder access works with a list of trusted apps. If an app is included in the list of trusted software, it works as expected. If not, the app is prevented from making any changes to files that are inside protected folders. 
+Controlled folder access works with a list of trusted apps. Apps that are included in the list of trusted software work as expected. Apps that are not included in the list are prevented from making any changes to files inside protected folders. 
 
 Apps are added to the list based upon their prevalence and reputation. Apps that are highly prevalent throughout your organization and that have never displayed any behavior deemed malicious are considered trustworthy. Those apps are added to the list automatically.
 
-Apps can also be added manually to the trusted list  by using Configuration Manager or Intune. Additional actions, such as [adding a file indicator](../microsoft-defender-atp/respond-file-alerts.md#add-indicator-to-block-or-allow-a-file) for an app, can be performed from the Security Center Console.

 ## Why controlled folder access is important
 
 Controlled folder access is especially useful in helping to protect your documents and information from [ransomware](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/threats/ransomware). In a ransomware attack, your files can get encrypted and held hostage. With controlled folder access in place, a notification appears on the computer where an app attempted to make changes to a file in a protected folder. You can [customize the notification](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#customize-the-notification) with your company details and contact information. You can also enable the rules individually to customize what techniques the feature monitors.
 
-The [protected folders](#review-controlled-folder-access-events-in-windows-event-viewer) include common system folders (including boot sectors), and you can [add additional folders](customize-controlled-folders.md#protect-additional-folders). You can also [allow apps](customize-controlled-folders.md#allow-specific-apps-to-make-changes-to-controlled-folders) to give them access to the protected folders.

+
+#### Deploying policies
+The steps to use Intune's Custom OMA-URI functionality are:
 
 1. Know a generated policy's GUID, which can be found in the policy xml as `<PolicyID>`
+
 2. Convert the policy XML to binary format using the ConvertFrom-CIPolicy cmdlet in order to be deployed. The binary policy may be signed or unsigned.
+
 3. Open the Microsoft Intune portal and click **Device configuration** > **Profiles** > **Create profile**.
+
 4. Type a name for the new profile, select **Windows 10 and later** as the **Platform** and **Custom** as the **Profile type**.
+
 5. Add a row, then give your policy a name and use the following settings:
     - **OMA-URI**: ./Vendor/MSFT/ApplicationControl/Policies/_Policy GUID_/Policy
     - **Data type**: Base64
     - **Certificate file**: upload your binary format policy file. You do not need to upload a Base64 file, as Intune will convert the uploaded .bin file to Base64 on your behalf.

+#### Removing policies
-> Upon deletion, policies deployed through Intune via the ApplicationControl CSP are removed from the system but stay in effect until the next reboot. In order to functionally do a rebootless delete, replace the existing policy with an Allow All policy (found at C:\Windows\schemas\CodeIntegrity\ExamplePolicies\AllowAll.xml) and then delete the updated policy. This will immediately prevent anything from being blocked and fully deactive the policy on the next reboot.
