Does Microsoft have plans for allowing URL Redirection in AVD? or, Is there something that would do that functionality that I have missed out?

Hello Frank Carmona van Kempen,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Currently, Azure Virtual Desktop does not natively support URL redirection policies that would automatically redirect specific URLs from an AVD session to a user's local device browser. However, there are some workarounds and features that might help achieve similar functionality:

1. URI Schemes: Microsoft has introduced URI schemes (like ms-avd and ms-rd) that allow users to connect to AVD resources more efficiently. While this doesn't directly address URL redirection, it can streamline access to applications and desktops
2. Custom Solutions: You could potentially implement a custom solution using scripts or third-party tools that monitor URL requests within the AVD session and redirect them to the local browser. This would require some development effort and testing to ensure it works seamlessly.
3. Intune Configuration: If you're using Microsoft Intune, you can manage some redirection settings for applications, but this is more about device management than URL redirection specifically

While these options may not fully meet your needs, they could help you explore alternative approaches. If URL redirection is a critical feature for your organization, consider providing feedback to Microsoft through their feedback channel.

I hope the information provided was useful.

Best regards,

Gao.
