Reducecosts with pooled, multi-session resources. With the new Windows 11 and Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session capability, exclusive to Azure Virtual Desktop, or Windows Server, you can greatly reduce the number of virtual machines and operating system overhead while still providing the same resources to your users.
Publish a full desktop or individual applications from a single host pool, create individual application groups for different sets of users, or even assign users to multiple application groups to reduce the number of images.
Only manage the image and virtual machines you use for the sessions in your Azure subscription, not the infrastructure. You don't need to personally manage the supporting infrastructure roles, such as a gateway or broker, like you do with Remote Desktop Services.
Once assigned, users can connect to their published Windows desktops and applications using Windows App or the Remote Desktop client. Connect from any device through either a native application on your device or using a web browser with the HTML5 web client.

I am wondering if it has to do with the S mode of Windows. On my virtual Windows environment, the Windows 11 is not activate, and when I try to download the Dropbox app, it says I can only download Dropbox for S mode.

If you were using a Mac which was running the older Intel chip, then it would work normally. However, on Macs with the M1 chip, only the S Mode version of the app would run on Windows when using Parallels on that device.
Virtual desktops provide access to a Windows 10 desktop experience that can be accessed from any computer by anyone. There are several types of virtual desktops available, each of which is equipped with software programs applicable to the group the desktop is designed for.
In addition, there are separate virtual applications available in Citrix outside of the desktops. These applications may require an additional level of authorization for access due to data or license restrictions.
To access virtual desktops and applications on a Rowan-managed or personal device, you must have Citrix Workspace installed on your computer. Citrix Workspace is installed on all Rowan-managed computers. To download Citrix Workspace on a personal computer, visit
go.rowan.edu/workspace.

I'm trying to use Dropbox in a "Windows 11 Pro" virtual machine (under Parallels) on Macbook M1 (Apple silicon). When I attempt to install, I get an error message "Couldn't start Dropbox. Your device is not compatible with this version of the Dropbox app." It states that I could use Windows 11 in S mode, but I can't be restricted to S mode.
I installed Dropbox a month ago on the Mac (Ventura) side, and it installed (although it's awkward). I write some of my own apps (C# .Net) and need to have stable locations for many Dropbox files. I just installed the newest version of MacOS Dropbox but it conceals the drive locations of files in a way that wrecks the programmatic access from the Windows side. I therefore uninstalled Dropbox from the Mac side am now trying to install it on the Windows side.
Welcome to the forum. I wish I could tell you of some profound insight or clever work-around. Right now I just use USB drives to update the Mac virtual Windows machine. It's clumsy but it does work. I continue to look for something better, but that's it for now.
Simple solution is to install Dropbox on your Mac and then make a mapped drive using Parallels so that it maps your Dropbox in Windows 11. Then you get to use the M1/M2 native app for Mac to work on your PC.
For Mac in Parallels, if you turn on file sharing between Mac and Parallels, you can send files to each other using UNC paths. You can set mapped drives and then use them like you would anything else. On mine, the Mac is referenced like \\Mac\ in Windows. If your Dropbox is at \\Mac\username\Dropbox, then that's your Dropbox. Keep in mind that online files will show up as 0 bytes and if you access them, it doesn't seem to download the files when you do... so that's something to be aware of.
We currently package our virtual machines for four different virtualization software options: VMware, Hyper-V (Gen2), VirtualBox, and Parallels.These virtual machines contain an evaluation version of Windows that expires on the date posted. If the evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour.
There is no password set up for the user account. However, some software, especially those used to connect remotely to the VM, may require a password. In those cases, you will need to set up a password for the user account first before using that software.
Unfortunately, we don't have an ARM version available at the moment. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we don't have any short term plans to create these. However, we're always open to feedback and suggestions from our users and will take them into consideration when planning future updates.
Yes, we have noticed that there are some rendering quirks when using VirtualBox to run these developer images. The Start menu may also look different than expected. We are currently investigating this behavior. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

The UCLA Library Campus Library Instructional Computing Commons (CLICC) provides two types of virtual desktops. These desktops allow Bruins to access UCLA resources and work in dozens of licensed software suites. Virtual desktops can be used on any computer or tablet. With an internet connection and the UCLA VPN(opens in a new tab), they can also be used anywhere in the world.
Both virtual desktop types offer a full Windows desktop in addition to their respective software(opens in a new tab). To request software be added to the list, contact us via the CLICC Services Portal(opens in a new tab).
An additional account is needed to access the Performance+ Virtual Desktop. If you would like to use a Performance+ Virtual Desktop, please submit a request for an account(opens in a new tab) via the CLICC Resources and Services portal.
Virtual classrooms provide students and instructors in a course with either type of virtual desktop. Instructors may request virtual classrooms for one-time or recurring events. To start the process, please open a Virtual Classroom Request(opens in a new tab) in the CLICC Resources & Services portal.

That was the development status as of January 2019. Meanwhile it made significant progress. An entire drive no longer needs to be virtualized. The goal of having all files visible without the need of physically downloading them is the same. Just more optimized.
