Requirements

Role requirements

To resize a Cloud PC, the admin must have certain built-in Microsoft Entra roles.

• For a Cloud PC provisioned with a direct assigned license, at least one of the following roles
  • Intune Service Administrator
  • Intune Reader + Cloud PC Admin roles
  • Intune Reader + Windows 365 Administrator
• For a Cloud PC provisioned with a group-based license, at least one of the following roles
  • Intune Service Administrator
  • Intune Reader + Windows 365 Administrator
  • In addition to one of the previous three roles, a role with Microsoft Entra group read/write membership and licensing permissions, like the Windows 365 Admin role.

Alternatively, you can assign a custom role that includes the permissions of these built-in roles.

IP address requirements

When you resize a Microsoft Entra hybrid join bring-your-own-network Cloud PC, a second IP address must be available in the subnet for the Cloud PC to be resized.

During the resizing operation, a second IP address is used when moving to the new size. This precaution makes sure that the Cloud PC can be rolled back to the original should an issue occur.

To account for this precaution, you can:

• Make sure that adequate IP addresses are available in the vNET for all Cloud PCs to be resized, or
• Stagger your resize operations to make sure that the address scope is maintained.

If inadequate addresses are available, resize failures can occur.

Other requirements

In order to use Resize there must be available licenses in the inventory for the resized Cloud PC configuration.

To Resize a Cloud PC, it must have a status of Provisioned in the Windows 365 provisioning node.
