Firstly, let me say that I'm not a network engineer, and I'm not an expert in the realm of VDI. So please forgive my questions if they're elemental.<br />
<br />
So, our network guys have created VDI accounts for many people within the organization. Their initial intent was to grant access to applications internal to our network (a la Citrix). They did so, not thinking about the remote access capabilities of VDI.<br />
<br />

<h2>1. </h2>
So from a security standpoint, I have a couple of questions:<br />
Is there any way to tell which VDI accounts are being used for remote access (access to applications from outside the network)?
<h2>2. </h2>
Can (and if so, how) can VDI accounts be configured to disallow remote access, and only allow access from within our network?
<h2>3. </h2>
And is there any way to make these permissions changes in bulk (maybe per AD group)?<br />
Thanks in advance for your help!

Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI) Remote Capability?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
