May 19, 2022Customize the friendly name of the desktop application ("SessionDesktop") using Bicep/ARM
Hi,
I am deploying AVD environments using Bicep/ARM templates.
I would like to customize the friendly name of the desktop in the Desktop Application Group. By default, it reads "SessionDesktop."
Setting the friendlyName property on the Application Group definition doesn't change that. And because it's a desktop application group, there doesn't seem to be a way to define the actual applicationGroups/applications resource.
Thanks,
Sven.

This is how you can do it in terraform (by calling directly REST API), the same thing can be accomplished by `deploymentScript` in bicep/ARM
resource "azapi_resource_action" "change-desktopname" { type = "Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups/desktops@2022-10-14-preview" resource_id = "${azurerm_virtual_desktop_application_group.main.id}/desktops/SessionDesktop" method = "PATCH" body = jsonencode({ properties = { friendlyName = "DevOps Desktop" } } ) }

Did you ever manage to change this display name of the SessionDesktop with Bicep?
Kind regards,
