# Administrative template for Azure Virtual Desktop
1010

11-
We've created an administrative template for Azure Virtual Desktop to configure some features of Azure Virtual Desktop. You can use the template with Group Policy and Intune, which enables you to centrally configure session hosts that are joined to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or to an Active Directory (AD) domain. You can also use the template with Group Policy locally on each session host, but this isn't recommended to manage session hosts at scale.
