Frontline Cloud PC dedicated Mode Session time out settings
Hi, I would like to understand how Session disconnect policy works for Windows 365 CloudPC frontline dedicated machines when user session is disconnected for more than 2 hours and if we have session disconnect policy set via intune for 8 Hours. will it still disconnect the session by Microsoft using default disconnection policy for Frontline cloudpc or my intune policy of 8 hours should overwrite the 2 hours timeline. Currently in my case even after setting disconnection policy for 8 hours it gets disconnected in 2 hours if I am not using my physical machines for more than 2 hours.
AVD Single Session - Password is incorrect - lockout screen
Hi Guys, I hope you are all well. Recently I set up these policies for my AVD env: Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions - Disabled Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions - Disabled Disconnect remote session on lock for legacy authentication - Disabled Disconnect remote session on lock for Microsoft identity platform authentication - Disabled The result is that the after some idle time session is not completely disconnected but AVD is being locking out, and that is good but - from lock screen I can't log-in again - I received info that the password is incorrect. In event viewer I see: Event ID 4673. From that place I can disconnect session, restart machine or add additional keyboard layout -> after I click "Update" I am being moved to Desktop, but still poor solution. Password is definitely correct, account is not being locked out/disabled. All machines are Entra ID Joined. Any ideas? Best regards, Damian
File Explorer is slow when traversing files synced with OneDrive
Hello team, I have this customer who have this AVD deployment in production, they are managing with Nerdio and they recently move their storages to Azure NetApp. Event with this very optimized environment they are facing one specific issue with the OneDrive synced folders. They created this video that explains the issue in details. They also opened a support ticket, but they didn't help with this issue. They are facing that for a while and they are asking for more assistance. If anyone could have any clue would be great! A video demonstrating the issue can be found here: https://rivier.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=203b5b74-07d9-4ec1-8da0-b02a015a0e18 (the demonstration starts at the 2m10s mark). Thank you!
App Permissions for Microphone
Hi all, I have found an issue with one of my users on a Windows 11 device that has the remote desktop app installed. When connecting to the avd Win11 multisession host and starting Teams the user was asked to confirm data privacy questions regarding microphone and camera which all of them were answered to allow access. Strangewise the Jabra Microphone did not work and when checking on the local device, the Microsoft Teams VDI app was not allowed to use the microphone. Here I noticed that multiple Microsoft Teams VDI apps exist. Is this a bug? Will each new Team Update create a new entry? Now, the question is how to force that such questions do not appear respectively that Microsoft Teams VDI app is always allowed.
Active OneDrive makes whole environment 'sluggish'
Our client is using AVD for about 5 weeks in 'production' now. It is a smaller company with about 40 users. We have 6 VM's in AVD (D4s_v5) in use at the moment. We have tried D8s_v5 without any improvement. But we see memory and cpu usage at high levels most of the time with OneDrive at the top of the processes. Every server feels sluggish at the moment. Starting Excel takes about 30-40 seconds, Word about the same time. Opening a Word document takes about 20-25 seconds to open and opening folders from the right pane (yes only the right pane) in explorer takes abount 7-15 seconds per folder. All those folders are folders from SharePoint document libraries. It doens't matter if a folder is fully synced with the server or it isn't. We are using FSlogic with profiles stored on azure. I was reading a blog of Christian Brinkhoff about almost the same kind of issues but can't really pinpoint the exact cause or find a solution for this issue. Can you help me out?
AVD Adding users to Remote Desktop User Group
Hi all, From my understanding AVD uses port 443 (HTTPS) to connect users to their virtualized environment. However, I have noticed that AVD automatically adds users to the Remote Desktop Users Group, which is meant originally for port 3389 (RDP). I spoke with a Microsoft Support Specialist regarding this and it was mentioned this was used as a break-glass method in case users cannot connect through 443. My question is then, is it necessary to have users added to the Remote Desktop Users Group? And is there any way we could stop the automation in adding users to that group?

Hi all, I want to share this quick fix regarding hostpool session hosts in 'shutdown" state even when Azure VMs are running and are accessible by administrators (via RDP or remote access software): 1. Uninstall all agent, boot loader, and stack components 2. Remove the session host from the host pool 3. Generate a new registration key for the VM 4. Reinstall the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent and boot loader https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-agent#step-1-uninstall-all-agent-boot-loader-and-stack-component-programsHow to fix error in AVD with VMs not being added to host pool or AD
Problem Several users have commented and posted on different networks about the error that appears when adding virtual machines to their host pool, the error is when the VMs want to join to the AD. The first thing we need to know is that if we add or create a new hostpool (as in my case), the deployment will tell us Azure that everything is correct, that is, as if the machines have joined the AD. Here I show the deployment with everything correct. Now if we check the status of our hostpool machines, we will see that it tells us the total number of VMs and the option of which one we can connect to and which one we cannot. In my case we see that we can supposedly connect to one and not to the other. When testing the connection, it fails on both machines. This is normal since if we check the health status of both we see the following. Basically it tells us that there is a problem joining the domain with the VM. Solution Below I show the solution that has worked for me, from different tenants, different subscriptions that had the same problem. We are going to go to our subscription and in it, in the setting section, we are going to click on Resource provider as shown in the following image. Next we look for the provider "Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization" We select it and then click on "unregister" Now what we are going to do is re-register, that is, we click on "register" Confirm that register is correct again. Now we deploy AVD again and add the VMs we need to our Hostpool, and in this case I have chosen Enter ID to do the Join *you can select your preferens) Validate de new deployment As we see here, the deployment has also indicated that it was correct, so we are going to confirm it. Here we can see that we already have the machines ready for the session. I hope this helps you solve the problems you are having with VMs and hostpools.Secondary mailboxes and FSLogix Roam Identity
HI, Got a bit of a puzzler, so we have a client who uses outlook to access the main mailbox on the tenant, but they also have a secondary mailbox added to outlook from a different tenant, so when they log in it authenticates to both, all good. The reason they have it set up this way is to do with signatures. With existing FSLogix this works fine, we then upgraded them to the latest, this changes the authentication method and puts the token on EntraID, the secondary mailbox now wants the password every time, as its on another tenant. Makes sense, so enabled Roam Identity to put back status quo. However this then pulls the machine out of EntraID/Intune, and recommendations is not to use Roam Identity if enrolled into Intune. Anyone else come across this or any way forward/guidance, have about 50+ users set up this way? Thanks
