Azure Virtual Desktop External Identities
Hi. I was delighted to find out that External Identities are now supported in Azure Virtual Desktop (preview). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/authentication#external-identity-preview I have attempted to set this up and test it as per the requirements and known limitations above. However, when I sign into the Windows app with my guest account, I do not have any AVD resources available. Are there any detailed setup instructions or is there anything not obvious that I might be missing? Thank you!SolvedtadhgcliffordOct 14, 2025Brass Contributor175Views0likes4CommentsApp 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 Contributor364Views0likes1CommentShutdown 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 Contributor482Views1like11CommentsAVD 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 Contributor530Views1like2CommentsAzure 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 Contributor636Views0likes2CommentsTeams 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?
