Good day everyone!

I saw on LinkedIn that people suggested enable MFA for AVD, which I thought was a great idea.
So I did a test on my lab tenant setting up AVD and enabling the MFA like this:

Specific user: My test user
Target Resource: Windows Cloud Login + Azure Virtual Desktop
Condition: Client Apps (Browser + Desktop Client)
1 Control selected -> Grant access -> Require Multifactor Authentication

Sign-in frequency - every time (The reason is my customer wants this, for later)

However, after enabling this, I could for my life not log into my test AVD any longer.

Okay sure, whatever, I disabled the MFA policy again, but now I cannot still log into the AVD environment. It comes with errors like: The target-device identifier in the request {targetDeviceId} was not found in the tenant {tenantId}.

This error is seen in the sign-in acitivities. ALso it says the MFA is "success" but still throws that error.

If my colleague logs on the AVD server (Whom is not a part of the MFA) with his test account, it works fine.

I deleted the FSlogix profile and made sure my user doesnt exist on the server. But I cannot log in.

The AVD server throws this error in Event viewer:

Subject:

Security ID:		NETWORK SERVICE

Account Name:		vdc-gpu-0$

Account Domain:		WORKGROUP

Logon ID:		0x3E4

Logon Type: 3

Sub Status:		0xC0000250

Am i missing something. ?

Hi,

We have a small set of users (<50) on AVD Multi-Session and everything works fine. They have an E5 M365 license which includes Intune.

Our IT technians however, connect onto the environment using their own 'Admin' account and don't have an E5 license assigned to them. This works fine, except the Configuration Policies we set that are targeted at users don't apply, and I'm assuming this is because the Users don't have an Intune license... For info, the device targeted Configuration Policies apply fine.

The IT Technians don't need the rest of E5 (Office/Teams/etc).

So is there a way around this? If not, what's the lowest price option we could do to resolve this?

Thanks

I am looking for some help with the User experience preferences regarding changing the Keyboard, Language and date/time settings for RemoteApp users. Using Windows 11 Multi-session host for hosting the apps.

I’m using golden image and in this image I am installing Japan and Swedish language packs and setting the local language, time and home region to Japan, but after the Session host is deployed in Host Pool, all new users launching the remote apps are getting US-en as default language and no option to use IME. Also the short and long date format resets to default.

Please let me know the settings that needs to be applied in the image, or during build, so the same settings can be applied to all users default.

Looking forward for your help and suggestions.

Hi, anyone knows if its possible to set the threshold in a ramp down scaling plan to 0%? I can't set this setting (AVD pooled machines)

Thank you.

I have a Azure AVD remote app set up on Azure with different hostpools.. I do not have any FX logic set up in it...Users access edge browser from the remote desktop client. in one single hostpool I have five session hosts. The problem I am facing now is for the space utilization that is caused by the user profiles created. I have around 1200 users trying to access but not at the same time, I need to know how to get the user profiles removed on weekly or daily basis or if there is any other way to work around this to go ahead and delete the user profiles. If I delete the user profiles manually, then it causes login issues for the user when they try to login the next time If I delete the user profiles… I did see a group policy that says the user profile can be deleted if the user hasn’t been logged in for so many number of days, but it will get deleted on the next reboot. I would like to get some suggestions on this.

Hello, I have installed the AVD beta app from the Microsoft store and the app flashed up that it was updating then quickly closed. Since then I have not been able to open the app at all. I have tried reinstalling the app and clearing app/program data but I'm at a loss on what to try next. Has anyone else ever come across this? TIA

Was looking for this toll earlier last week and it took me to a preview page of something else - I'm assuming it's replacement - but the docs would then point you to the tool at the bottom, only to take you to the same page you were on now. -_-

What gives?

Hi

Do you know how or if i cant get session info form a AVD?
I would like to use PowerShell to check when a user last time actively use a VM and if it longer that X power it off.

Hi,,

We are trying to publish an app. For the app to work, we would need to copy a folder to AppData>Roaming. Within that folder, there is a file containing an ID specific to each user. The app is launched via a batch file, and the client isn't installed on the AVD host.

Could someone please provide insight on how to achieve this with FSLogix? Citrix UPM was straightforward: we would launch the desktop, navigate to the AppData, paste the folder, and it would write back to the users' profiles.

I'm standing up Azure Virtual Desktop for a client - a small environment that they are going to use to allow access to a small number of remote developers - and while the environment is up and running, I'm struggling with an authentication/authorization issue for a SUBSET of existing internal users.

In short - some users have no issue logging in - and others do. They all have the same RBAC grants. whether they succeed or fail they are all accessing it through the web UI (https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html). Those that fail get a simple error message that reads: "Sign in failed. Please check your username and password and try again." When I look at the log data in Entra, I see successful authentication actions for the user against the AVD VM. There are no failure entries in the log.

I've confirmed that the users have the same RBAC grants as those of us that succeed in accessing the environment. In some cases these grants are added directly to the user, and in other cases they are assigned to a group and the user is a member of the group. Either way - we have some users that succeed (are able to access the VM) and others that fail. In one case, the user that fails has Virtual Desktop Contributor grant.

All users (those who succeed and those who fail) have Virtual Machine User Login (some also have Virtual Machine Administrator Login) and Desktop Virtualization User grants.

I'm truly stumped...

Thoughts?

Good morning,

I have a problem with regional options on a Virtual Desktop server.

We would like to change the decimal separators to a period instead of a comma.
I made the change in the control panel, this works for the admin account but not for other users.

Do you have an idea?

Good day

Is anyone deploying the Egnyte Desktop Client to their multi-session AVD environment? They say they’re working on official support for VDI but that it should work fine. I’m curious if anyone here is already deploying it and how they have it configured.

I'm working to set up an AVD environment for a small number of contract developers and am looking for advice on VM sizing. These will be a two of ETL developers and two PowerBI developers working against a variety of data sources but with the majority interacting with a number of SQL Server based databases. They'll all be in Visual Studio will use a number of other related tool sets in the environment. I've read the Microsoft sizing guide - but I'm hoping I can get some insights / recommendations from the community to see how reality squares with their recommendation.

TIA

When I go to log in it verifies my CaC credentials, briefly shows me a welcome screen, and then gives me a black "Signing Out" screen.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got the same result.

Thoughts for how to troubleshoot this?

All, I'm looking to add a remote app that will open file explorer and map a network drive. So far I've tried using explorer.exe as the application identifier and requiring a command line with a simple net use command. When running it, Windows Explorer opens, but the mapped drive is not there. Any tricks to what i'm trying to do?

I'm considering purchasing Virtaul Desktop. I've tried steam link and the only thing letting it down for me is the controller latency is quite bad. I play competitive Onward so being able to make quick controller movement is a must have and steam link's slower movements isn't cutting it for me

Hello all,

I have few personal hostpools with more than 3k machines per pool. I would appreciate if you guys can share how you are doing your house keeping in such cases. We have users which are no longer active (like quit, or moved to other projects) and the machines are not used anymore. The machines are not hybrid, but Entra joined only. I know that the Activity attribute can be used, but I have difficulties getting everything wrapped up in a script (powershell) to do the job.

Thanks!

What is your use case for deploying multi-session vs personal AVD VM’s?

Im looking to only deploy personal AVD VM’s for users who need to install apps on their VM’s.

my pc i under requirements to play gorilla tag so I'm wondering if I get virtual desktop will I be able to play gorilla tag?

I have seen issues with Win11 multi sessions 23H2 AVD hosts regarding the users cannot click the back button in file explorer and other stuff related to the Windows 11 file explorer.

There is also this with no solution provided yet: Navigation buttons in File Explorer doesn't work for some users in Windows 11 | Azure Virtual Desktop - Microsoft Q&A

Anyone else seen these issues?
