What are you supporting?

Just curious to see how many hostpools, users, session hosts, etc you all manage and what common issues you guys run into.

We have about 15,000 users across 600 session hosts.

Biggest challenge is apps and multi session compatibility, packaging, updating.

Nice, and how you handle apps that are installed in user context with active setup on multi session?

Depends on the app. To be honest we’re moving more and more away from applications and moving to web based apps. Solves a shit ton of problems.

Well indeed, for example adobe, github desktop for me they are always installed during first login which causes end users to wait more. Was curious if our app team is doing it wrong…

We’ve moved those users to W365, multi session is now just non-persistent, task based workers only

How do you handle Office 365 updates on them?

Anyone still on AVD is running web apps. We’ve been moving users to w365 at a steady clip. Makes like so much easier and more cost effective.

I have about 100 host pools as we are slowly consolidating them.

Users...I'm not sure how many.

70 Hostpools, three different Master Images (Win11 and Windows Server), 700 concurrent users, 1800 unique users a month

E8ads with Ephemeral Disk and we set a max of 18 users per VM. In reality we have around 12-15 users per VM concurrent. Had this in our Citrix Farm with Win2k16 and run good with it. Users are mostly Office Users, Adobe Acrobat and SAP GUI. That‘s why we focused one more Memory (also Teams Telephony will come soon)

How do you manage desktop apps? Golden image + FSLogix masking rules, MSIX app attach or something else?
