What is Windows 365 Cloud PCs Group?

A Windows 365 Cloud PCs Group is a logical grouping of multiple Cloud PCs, personalized Windows desktops hosted in Microsoft 365 cloud that are organized and managed collectively within a modern endpoint management framework. Unlike traditional on-premises Windows system groups, Windows 365 Cloud PCs are:

• Cloud-native : Hosted on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.

• Persistent and personal : Each Cloud PC is assigned to a user and maintains their applications, settings, and data.

• Easily scalable : New Cloud PCs can be provisioned instantly based on user roles, location, or business need.

By organizing these Cloud PCs into groups based on geography, department, function, or performance tier, IT administrators can efficiently manage policies, performance monitoring, security controls, and updates at scale.

Why Monitor the Windows 365 Cloud PCs Group?

In environments where multiple cloud PCs are grouped by region, department, or other criteria, administrators prefer monitoring them as a group rather than individual PCs to ensure optimal performance, security, and user experience in a cloud-first workplace. Monitoring individual PCs hosted on the cloud infrastructure manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. To address this, eG Enterprise offers a specialized monitoring model for Windows 365 Cloud PCs groups. This model provides centralized monitoring and allows administrators to install a lightweight eG VM agent on each PC. This agent proactively captures health and availability, resource utilization, and network bottlenecks, enabling administrators to quickly identify and resolve issues before they impact productivity. Additionally, it helps administrators quickly analyze the overall performance of each PC within the group.
