By default all Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts are joined with your domain. And in most cases you will apply policy configurations to them via Group Policy Objects (GPO).

First of all, it is not really a Windows Virtual Desktop problem, this has been a Microsoft Windows setting for many years now. However, when publishing a Desktop or a RemoteApp from a Windows Virtual Desktop host pool where the session host VMs running Windows 10, there are no visible borders around the windows by default. For example, see the blow screenshot. A File Explorer window is open, with on top of it the Microsoft Paint application. You cannot see where one window ends and the other one starts.
During our session last week during the “Microsoft meets Community : Windows Virtual Desktop – second edition:” event, I briefly mentioned the possibilities of shadowing an active user session in Windows Virtual Desktop, if you are interested, you can watch the demo over here.
