Prepare your network
Proxy configuration
Microsoft Managed Desktop is a cloud-managed service. There's a set of endpoints the Microsoft Managed Desktop services needs to be able to reach. This section lists the endpoints that need to be allowed for the various aspects of the Microsoft Managed Desktop service.
Customers can optimize their network by sending all trusted Microsoft 365 network requests directly through their firewall or proxy. It bypasses authentication, and all additional packet-level inspection or processing. This process reduces latency and your perimeter capacity requirements.
Also, to optimize performance for Microsoft Managed Desktop cloud-based services, these endpoints need special handling by customer client browsers, and the devices in their edge network. These devices include:
- Firewalls
- SSL Break and Inspect
- Packet inspection devices
- Data loss prevention systems
Proxy requirement
The proxy or firewall must support TLS 1.2. Otherwise, you might have to disable protocol detection.
Allowed endpoints that are necessary for Microsoft Managed Desktop
Microsoft Managed Desktop uses the Azure portal to host its web console. The following URLs must be on the allowed list of your proxy and firewall so that Microsoft Managed Desktop devices can communicate with Microsoft Services.
The Microsoft Managed Desktop URL is used for anything our service runs on the customer API. You must ensure this URL is always accessible on your corporate network.
