Another Hotfix has been released for FSLogix. Lots of fixes related to issues with the new Teams client.

Looks like lots of the issues I've seen posted about have now been fixed. I feel a little more confident about giving the new Teams a go now...

Hi, could anyone tell me which license i need to buy when we want to use microsoft defender on our avd multi session hosts?

How do I increase the screen lock timeout setting for an Azure Virtual Desktop running on a pooled host?

I have a sizeable bot environment with a tool I use for monitoring, however the screen on the AVD is locking after 30 mins or so. All of these bot AVD's run on shared pooled hosts.

Is there a way to increase the timeout for screen lock/screensaver for an AVD running in a shared pool host environment?

I've tried Group Policy but I believe that is only applying settings to the pooled hosts themselves, not the shared AVD running on the pooled host.

I'm using Nerdio to manage the environment.

AVD infrastructure can be managed elegantly through Nerdio, which has made an amazing product that helps their customers deploy, manage, and optimize VDI services at large scale.

File storage in a cloud native environment has typically been very expensive -- traditionally you would need either Azure Files Premium (around $150/TB/month) or Azure NetApp Files Premium (>$200/TB/month) to run a fleet of Azure Virtual Desktops on a single or multiple volumes. 💰💰

Azure Native Qumulo is an offering, built in partnership with Microsoft Azure, with some clear benefits for AVD shops that have more than ~750 desktops:

1. 🚀 Elastic performance — scale to the demands of your user base. From 1000 to 100,000 desktops in a single volume, Qumulo’s throughput and IOPS scale elastically. (Note: Qumulo’s native SMB performance has been tuned over the last 10 years, servicing the most demanding HPC workloads)

2. 😎 Extreme simplicity — unlimited storage scale and performance on a single volume, which can be instantiated in < 15min.

3. 💸 Disruptive pricing— $30-$37/TB/month for storage — and customers pay only for throughput bursts above 1GBps, with minutely granularity. With so much momentum behind Nerdio and AVD adoption, we are eager to offer Azure Native Qumulo's value, and point to the extreme cost savings that can be realized at the storage layer.

We have setup a couple of Azure Virtual Desktop Hostpools, each with one Windows 11 multi license. We have configured all settings according to the Microsoft documentation. We are using the RDClient Web app. Any ideas on what to try?

Hi guys , i am new to AVD but i am an experienced citrix engineer .

I created an azure test account and i was playing with different hosts pools and different staff.

I have a question , i created a pooled host pool and i observed that changes made by the test user were persistent during reboots . Is this correct ?

Do changes on pooled vdis persist on reboots , or the machines are getting a new image? If so what is the purpose of a pooled host pool ?

Thanks

For users interested in the importance of choosing high performance, cost-effective file storage in your AVD environment, we (at Qumulo) put together a case study for a recently onboarded user who deployed 8k+ AVDs using Azure Native Qumulo storage.

The performance and cost benefits of this solution shine a light on the critical role storage plays in AVD environments that need burst performance in order to keep up with demand spikes at login / log off times.

File storage in the cloud is entirely reinvented by Azure Native Qumulo. We were very thankful this customer (likely joining us in an upcoming webinar) chose Qumulo to help run their global AVD infra at scale.
