[Announcement] Remote app publishing using app alias fails

Hi everyone, thanks for the continued testing of WVD. We’ve seen errors while publishing remote apps using the app alias. 

PS C:\> New-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName "contoso" -HostPoolname "contosoHostPool" -AppGroupName "officeApps" -Name "Excel" -AppAlias "excel"

 

We are working on a fix. In the meantime, you can publish start menu apps using the full file path.

 

e.g.

New-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName "contoso" -HostPoolname "contosoHostPool" -AppGroupName "webApps" -Name "internetExplorerContosoWebApp" -FilePath "C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" -FriendlyName "Contoso Web App" -IconPath "C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"

Thanks.
