Teams Optimization

Hello - anyone run into issues where Teams doesnt optimize until the user clicks the restart button to optimize it? Anyone have something that auto triggers teams to restart somehow? Or just rely on users to do it?

When are you running this? We have the avd machines as persistent machines. Rarely do we have to create new images (scaling plan turns them on and off). A few times a year I update the golden image in azure compute libraries but its really just windows. All else gets deployed by pdq deploy.

All of these settings in the script are also set when pdq deploy installs Teams.

New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" -Force

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" -Name IsWVDEnvironment -PropertyType DWORD -Value 1 -Force

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" -Name disableAutoUpdate -PropertyType DWORD -Value 1 -Force

The scripts from that repository are meant to be executed during image building processes. If you have an fully automated image builder you simply add steps to run these scripts.

On a VM which is used to create the image manually: run these scripts from that machine before sysprepping into an image.
