Considerations
The following are considerations for establishing a connection between Citrix Cloud and Windows 365:
- The user must be a Global Administrator. Otherwise, the application registration will not complete successfully, and the connection will fail.
- There must be Windows 365 Enterprise licenses in the Azure tenant. Otherwise, the connection to Windows 365 will fail.
- If the Entra ID tenant connected to Citrix Cloud differs from the tenant for Windows 365, the connection will fail.
- Occasionally, a delay in propagating the application permissions in Azure will cause the connection to fail. Retrying the connection to Windows 365 within 15 minutes may solve the problem.
