Does anyone know if China blocks AVD?
t
Accessing Azure China regions from within China or Azure regions outside of China?

We have AVD configured in EUS2 region but an executive is working in China for a long length of time.

We have some users in China and they were able to access AVD hosts in WUS and CIN. Hopefully it shouldn’t be an issue for you.

Got it. Not knowing the full scope of your environments capabilities, I read recently that the Azure global regions and Azure China regions are physically disconnected, meaning you probably have to consider the usage of VPN or ExpressRoute type of connections.

That's what I read as well but wanted to confirm with others if they had issues.
Not sure why then my user can't authenticate into AVD. We have hybrid on-prem and Entra ID authentication though.

Is the laptop a mac by chance? Using entra to provide sson?
j
Nope it's surprisingly a Surface Pro.
