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.SolvedRDL69Aug 07, 2025Copper Contributor250Views0likes1CommentShutdown notification webhook unable to access token
I am trying to implement the AVD-Shutdown notification webhook from fortytwoservices on GitHub (https://github.com/fortytwoservices/AVD-Shutdown). It is getting an error getting the access token. The invocation log is: I am assuming it is referring to accessing the Exchange Online mailbox that I am sending the mail through. The webhook is using MS Graph API to send the e-mail. I have set up a system assigned managed identity in the portal for the function app. Using the values in Entra for the application, I set it up in exchange as follows: Any wisdom would be appreciated.

We have several Virtual Desktops that are used during business hours. I know I can use the auto-shutdown feature to shut the VM down at a scheduled time at night to save costs. What I would like to do is notify the logged-on users (we use personal and pooled host pools) that their VM will be shut down in fifteen or thirty minutes and give them the chance to extend by an hour in case they are working late. I saw a webhook by fortytwoservices called avd-shutdown on github that may do what I want, but the documentation on implementing it is a bit unclear to me. Is there a solution, native or add on that would send notifications like this for me? Thanks, Eric.,SolvedEric_LogsdonApr 25, 2025Brass Contributor380Views1like11CommentsAVD RDP printer redirection settings not honored
Has anyone else noticed their users getting local printers being redirected for last couple of weeks? Despite having client RDP settings set to not. This results in GPO deployed default printers being overwritten. We have noticed this on two host pools (10 and 11 SH OS and client OS). We reapplied the settings and even manually in Azure AVD settings but still happened. You can manually change it in web client and it does honor that, but all our users either use the client or Windows App. In the end I had to add this reg key to the Session Hosts via GPO to force it to not redirect. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services You can create a new DWORD (32-bit) value called fDisablePrinterRedirection and set it to 1. Assume this is just a temporary bug but may help others.SolvedPaulStirlingFeb 17, 2025Iron Contributor483Views1like2CommentsAzure Files and Kerberos timeouts
Hi, Really weird issue started to happen with our environment. We have EntraID joined Session hosts, using Kerberos authentication for Azure files storage. All been working fine. However we find that after 60 minutes certain users FSLogix VHD's get dismounted. All we then see in the logs is: Failed to read WindowsSessionID (The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request. Please try again later.) Anyone come across this?SolvedKevHalJan 31, 2025Iron Contributor568Views0likes2CommentsTeams addin missing in Classic outlook in Azure virtual desktop
Hello Everyone! We have both classic and new teams installed in our AVD environment, Win11 Multisession. Since we have updated our AVD machines with the new image, we noticed that it does not have the Teams add-in in classic Outlook. We already checked in com-addins, but Teams was not listed there. Do any of you also face the same issue? Can you please help us understand how we can get the Teams Addin back in the classic Outlook? We are using the source image plan "win11-23h2-avd-m365," which has this issue. Please let me know if you need more information.

Hello, While optimizing my template for AVD, I noticed that the Virtual Memory settings were configured to ‘No Paging File.’ I was wondering if this is expected behavior? Do you have any recommendations regarding this setting? I hesitate to modify it since it is the default configuration. For your information, my template is based on Windows 10 Multi-Session.

Hi, When we use Teams directly on our laptops, we get the option under Video Effects and Settings, 'add new', but in AVD, the option is not there on any call. We want to put our company logo behind meetings. We use the latest Slimcore teams version and Windows App. Any advice on why it doesn't work, or a work around?

I am trying to use App Attach to provide an application to my virtual desktop environment. The environment is currently 100% Entra ID, no DS if possible. RemoteApp host pool with Standard_D4as_v6 VMs running Windows 11 24H2 multi-session (no office 365 apps). I am having troubles getting App Attach working as I understand it should. I packaged my app into MSIX on one of the session hosts via admin account. My app is self-signed with .PFX, each session host has the corresponding .CER file in Trusted People AND Trusted Root Certification Authorities (conflicting advice online led me to just do both). I converted .MSIX to .CIM disk via MSIXMGR on the same session host. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "path\file.msix" -destination "path\file.cim" -applyACLs -create -fileType cim -rootDirectory apps I uploaded the .CIM file and the 6 supporting files to Azure Files Storage Account. All hosts have access to the azure storage account via access key, which I know is working because I’m using a different File Share in the same Storage Account to run FSLogix which has been working great. I haven't made any NTFS changes in my environment so far. On the storage account: Reader and Data Access is granted to Windows Virtual Desktop and Windows Virtual Desktop ARM Provider. Storage File Data SMB Share Reader is granted to each VM. Create App Attach resource, assigned it to the associated app group/workspace/host pool. I can see my app under the Apps tab in the Windows App/Remote Desktop app. Now into the Windows App: when I click my app, it will load forever on “Securing Remote Session…” and if I click “Show Details” to see the Windows login screen, it is always frozen on “Preparing Windows”. I’ve switched the host pool to “Desktop” mode and my user can log in to the full desktop with no issues, it is just the remote app that gets hung up. BUT if I log into the VM with my admin account, I launch my MSIX package, and approve the installation of my app, that makes it all work. Now I can go back to the Windows App and launch my remote app as a regular user, and it works perfectly. (Assuming I make the host pool assign the user to the session host where I manually installed the app) As far as I understand, this shouldn’t be a requirement to get App Attach working, so I’m looking for advice or information as to why manually installing the app would fix my problem. I am suspicious of the self-signed certificate; I’d rather not buy one but let me know if that’s what I’m stuck doing. I’m also curious if the “App-Attached” version of my app is running, or if its just targeting the locally installed version behind the scenes on me… I am going to do more testing and see if I can prove that. Thanks for the help!SolvedJonahBaderJan 14, 2025Brass Contributor879Views1like10Comments
