Audio issues when using New/or Old Teams in Win10/Win11 AVD
Hi - In the past month or so our users have been reporting strange audio issues.Not present for a year or so before. A user can hear music in AVD and local device, then take a teams call ok. Once hung up the next call User cannot hear the caller but caller they can hear the user. In this state music stops working in AVD, and on local device. We have found if the user disconnects AVD local audio starts working again, and once reconnected to AVD audio/calls work again. We get this in AVD - We have two environments Win10/old teams AND Win11/new teams. (All up to date) And it occurs in both. We have been using a variety of BT dongle Jabra headsets (all up to date) and doesn't appear to relate to device type. We are latest Remote Desktop Client version however happened on previous version or two also. Any advise or similar stories will be helpful. We are pulling our hair out when staff complaining and bad look to customers.
Configure clipboard transfer options in AVD session hosts
We are migrating our VDI from VMware Horizon to AVD. I have an AVD host pool with Windows 10 22h2 session hosts. I need to disable clipboard transfers except plain text from the client to session hosts and session host to client. Can this be done with a GPO? If so does anyone know the specific GPO settings? I found an article about this but it applies to Windows 11 23H2, not Windows 10. Thank you
Missing Entra ID Enterprise Applications for AVD
Hello All, We are starting on our AVD adventure and currently I'm struggling with the preparations for a CA policy. In the documentation, it is shown that several Enterprise Applications should be present: Enforce Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication for Azure Virtual Desktop using Conditional Access - Azure | Microsoft Learn These 3 are nowhere to be found: Azure Virtual Desktop,Microsoft Remote Desktop, Windows Cloud Login Do you have to create these manually? I found an AVD quickstart guide (Azure Virtual Desktop: Simple Step-by-Step Walkthrough - PolicyPak)which mentions the following site to create Enterprise Applications: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/ This is expected? Where can I find these applications? I've deployed my first hostpool and when trying to login with my Entra ID account, then I get the following in the sign-in logs: The app is trying to access a service '{appId}'({appName}) that your organization '{organization}' lacks a service principal for. Contact your IT Admin to review the configuration of your service subscriptions or consent to the application in order to create the required service principal. This is however pointing to yet another Application: Windows Virtual Desktop Client Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks!
Guidance on using Azure Virtual Desktop
We are looking for a VDI solution and choose AVD. I have gone through MS Documentation but things are quite confusing and complicated. We have a team of 10 developers who are mainly into Biztalk and another set of 10 developers who are salesforce and other development works. They use Visual Studio, VS Code, Biztalk Server, and various other applications and services for their regular work. Initially we thought of option to create Azure VM (20 VMs one for each developer, Windows 2019 Server Image for Biztalk devs and Windows 11 for other devs)use a Generalize VM and spin up the images using the capture of the previous generalized VM image. But there was a point raised why can't we use Azure Virtual Desktop ? As I learned there are 2 types of host pools: Pooled (Multi sessions) Personal (Direct assignment of Host VM to each individual Developer) This AVD Host pools/ VMs should be able to work with external SQL Servers. All the 20 VMs in AVD should be able to access, how can this be possible , what should be the connection string for granting access to external SQL Servers ? As I understand, if I opt for Pooled AVD Hostpools, all the above 10 developers can utilize the multi sessions (whatever number of VMs we choose, ex., 5 VMs, sessions will be distributed !) they will be assigned to developers as per load balancing. Similarly if I choose personal (10 Windows Server 2019 & another 10 Windows 11) I need to create 20 VMs and assign the 20 VMs individually to each of 20 developers in the team. is my understanding correct? Should I create 2 different workspaces and 2 application groups ? Also I learned if I use FSLogix along with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) I can manage users using profile management , will this actually help developers who uses the VS Code, Biztalk Server and other Azure services for their work daily ? Also based on all the facts above , please help me understand which suits the requirement well, please advice, if I choose Azure Virtual Desktop over Azure VMs or vice-versa, what are the benefits or disadvantages of AVD. Is it cost effective if I use pooled or personal AVD Host pool VMs or Azure VMs , which one suits better for us, please advice. Experts please help me with all this confusion ? Kind Regards
Remote Desktop client connection
I'm trying to expand access to our AVD pools into our internal network and I'm getting the following error after I hit subscribe. I never get the initial Entra sign in when you click subscribe. The network I want to extend to is fairly secured with very limited access to the internet. I've been trying ever looser rule set to access the necessary services but at this point I'm allowing everything out on port 443 from my test machine without change. I was originally trying to connect to private endpoints through an express rout connection but I've removed the DNS forwarding that was directing the traffic there for now as well. The client update also fails and when I dig into the logs I can see that it has a TLS error "System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."

Remote app windows like outlook in azure virtual desktop are not displaying on screen correctly
For the past few weeks users have had issues with new pop up windows in office apps not displaying on screen. This is mostly in the remote app view. For instance I can be looking at my inbox in outlook via azure virtual desktop remote app and double click on an email to pop it out or reply and the new window displays on screen but does not display correctly or respond correctly. You need to shift+right click on the window on the taskbar and restore it or windows key+arrow key to display correctly. We have this issue pretty consistently with other apps as well. I added a snip of what it looks like. The window does appear on screen as if its there but you cant interact with it and the right portion of the window is cut off.Printer Backup FSLogix
We are trying to get our printers to backup and restore with FSlogix. A user installs a printer from our Pritnerlogic site. However after logoff and a new machine is spun up, that printer is no longer installed. Looks like FSlogix is not backing that up. We have tried a custom XML, but no luck so far. Has anyone had luck getting FSlogix to backup printers? <!--!IncludeRegistryTrees--> <Include>HKCU\Printers</Include> <Include>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices</Include> <Include>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts</Include> <!--!IncludeIndividualRegistryValues--> <Include>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device</Include> <Include>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\UserSelectedDefault</Include> </FrxProfileFolderRedirection>
