M365 Business Premium
You already have Premium? Or you are just looking at the upgrade delta?
It's funny, in Central America "premium" is used as a derogatory term. It's funny to hear it in product names.
Yes, we use MS office locally here (don't get me started). The lowest package that includes both MS email and Office is M365 Business Premium for $20/u/m (even cheaper when bought through someone like DCW @Yonah-S )

Also noticed the logo is the RDS logo, so pretty sure it is RDS.
Of that I never actually had doubt.

Premium is no a derogatory term in my country (Dominican Republic). It classifies as service higher than normal.

Here it is used to mean "trashy". More money than taste.

Azure Virtual Desktop
Started using this a few weeks ago as a solution for something and has been excellent. It works well with Intune as well, so no need for an on-prem AD.

You lost me on the no need for on-premises AD...
- is it because you can manage it with Intune instead of AD/GPOs?
Do you consider it practically identical to an RDS server? or a VDI solution?
What licensing are you using it with? -
TLDR, but whatever you end up doing, you'll need to make it very easy for the users, otherwise they'll just end up sharing passwords coz that'll be easier and faster.
You somehow need to make the users responsible for their actions, that's the only way you'll get compliance from them.

OMG THIS ^.
Yes I definitely realize this. New management definitely seems more on board with trying to right with security, so hopefully it will be easier to hold employees feet to the fire for doing stuff wrong, but you're absolutely right that people will create their own shadow IT whenever possible/when they find it easier than doing what's right.

Only if you have completely incompetent management who allows this to happen and makes security not a priority and/or hires totally POS workers with no ethics or competence.
That said, obviously that's generally the case. Just saying that a healthy company with just mediocre management and any kind of good hiring practices won't have that issue. But that's such a minority that sadly you have to assume that this will be true.

I was thinking about this last night. Is there anything you could do with QR codes or similar. Issue a card per device. They swipe/flash the card to log on and the same to log off.

you know of a windows solution that does that? I don't, though I've never looked for one either.
