Quote:Companies and employees have moved to work remotely in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic to curb the spread of the virus. Microsoft says that this has caused an increase in Windows Virtual Desktop usage to “quickly provision and scale virtual desktops and applications faster”.
 
In view of the growing demand, the Redmond giant is announcing a few new capabilities to the service. The company today announced new Microsoft 365 management features, where it briefly spoke about the improvements. The new capabilities include improved management and deployment tools, security and compliance enhancements, an upgraded Microsoft Teams user experience, and expanded support for cross-platform operating systems.
 
For customers that want to deploy Windows Virtual Desktop faster and more efficiently, the company is introducing a new administration experience that is built directly in the Azure Portal. The improved experience makes it easy to manage the virtual desktops and apps, assigning users, and performing monitoring and diagnostic tasks right through the GUI.
