AVD
Hi MS Tech Community, We are trying to setup a pilot AVD for 20 users who would belong to either one of the application pool ( Pool A or Pool B. Pool A would need applications - App1 and App2. P...
See whether this can help:
1. Host Pool & Session Hosts
- 1 host pool with 2 session hosts is a reasonable setup for a pilot.
- When anticipate high resource usage, consider scaling up session hosts based on user demand.
2. Application Groups
- Two application groups are necessary:
- Desktop Application Group (for full desktop access).
- RemoteApp Application Group (for individual apps like App1, App2, and App3).
3. Default Desktop Application Group
- When creating a host pool, a default desktop application group is automatically created.
- It is not necessary to separate desktop-type host pools unless different user groups is needed to have distinct desktop environments.
4. Attaching Applications in Desktop Application Group
- MSIX App Attach allows to mount applications directly onto session hosts.
- Convert your LOB applications to MSIX format, then package them into .cim images.
- Store .cim images in Azure Files and attach them to session hosts.
- Applications will appear inside the desktop environment rather than as separate RemoteApps.
