I recently setup a few AVD pools for internal and customer use. I was running into an issue where OneDrive login would not persist across logins. After every sign in to the session host I had to re-authenticate. Then I built another pool that was even worse – Office activation wouldn’t stick either.

You need to create and populate the following groups CA-Excluded No Conditional Access rules applied to members CA-Service Accounts Can only authenticate from trusted IP named locations CA-International Users Users who can connect from pre-defined trusted countries…
