1, yes, it is possible, and 2, you can just create a domain controller in a VM in the subscription, just make sure it is on the network that WVD can access. 3, you would have to use azure ad sync. If you really don't want to use azure ad ds, it is quite a bit of effort.

Yes, you can do this through the azure portal, select your virtual network, DNS servers will be under the settings heading, change form Azure default to custom and put in the IP address(es) from the domain controller you built above.

"3, you would have to use azure ad sync. If you really don't want to use azure ad ds, it is quite a bit of effort."

iSo i need to install the ad sync in domain controller vm and sync my user accounts to Azure ad, Right?

can i use my domain user account directly with out syncing the account to azure AD, or is it mandatory to sync user accounts to azure AD. Like the user accounts we use in standard domain controller for adding machines to domain. or is it mandatory to use azure ad synced accounts to add the WVD to domain controller running inside the vm.
sorry for late reply was stuck with other works.

Thanks.

How can i make sync my user accounts to azure ad? is there any specific procedure for that since the Azure AD doesn't generate or store password hashes in the format that's required for NTLM or Kerberos authentication.
FYi-I Know the process for cloud only users, but i need it for user account syncing form domain controller through azure ad connect.

sorry for late reply was stuck with other works.

Thanks
