Context-Based Redirection in AVD & Windows 365 (guide)

This article provides a detailed technical guide on implementing context-based redirection in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365. It explains the security risks of blanket on/off redirection policies for resources like clipboard, drives, printers, and cameras. The guide covers how to use Microsoft's Conditional Access authentication contexts and Intune policies to apply granular redirection rules based on user identity, device compliance, OS version, and network location. It includes step-by-step instructions for creating authentication contexts, configuring Conditional Access policies, and setting redirection options in the AVD/Windows 365 portals, enabling organizations to balance security and user experience for both managed corporate devices and unmanaged BYOD endpoints.
