RE: GP compatability with Azure Virtual Desktop and Microsoft Catalyst
Hi Shirley,
Not sure about the Catalyst environment, but if the virtual machines are running off Azure, then there shouldn't be any issues... I've migrated several customers now to Azure and they use dedicated SQL & RDS servers for the end-users to connect to GP. They can either setup a RDS Web Proxy server to access from anywhere if needed, or simply create an internal VPN connection to Azure from the corporate network.
Management Reporter (aka MR 2012) requires absolutely Active Directory (AD) to authenticate users. This is something that needs to be clarified before moving to Azure, as if there is no connection between the corporate network and Azure AD, then you need to setup something to authenticate users..
