Asked By TechWiz42 On

I'm currently working with non-persistent VDIs through Citrix and I'm trying to figure out the best way to onboard these devices with Intune MDM. Since these images reset upon reboot, I'm looking for guidance on the most effective practices and any recommended configurations to efficiently manage these devices with Intune. If anyone has insights or resources to share, that would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

There's a good resource from Microsoft that provides an overview of managing Windows 10 VMs with Intune. You might also look into whether disabling the 'Reuse computer account' option in similar environments like Horizon could help with your Citrix setup, though I'm not as familiar with Citrix specifics. Experimenting with configurations is key!

Honestly, managing non-persistent clones is generally discouraged because they shouldn’t be treated like standard PCs. These machines don’t retain data or settings after a reboot, which means you won’t benefit much from Intune on them directly. Their purpose is to be disposable, so unless you have a unique case, focusing efforts on managing the master image is likely the way to go.

Using non-persistent VDIs with Intune can be tricky. Generally, it's better to manage the master image instead of onboarding each clone since they're meant to reset and won’t retain configurations. However, you can set up strong GPO policies to wipe user data after sessions, which could work with Intune if you replicate those settings. Also, consider automating an "Autopilot reset" to handle it more smoothly.
