Invalid connection file - Any ideas how to get past this?
Hey all,
I've been chipping away at getting a WVD proof of concept going, and I'm at the point where I have a successful deployment, and I think I am ALMOST all the way there. I have a demo tenant that is running AD DS, with AD Connect syncing my AD DS users to Azure AD. I created my WVD tenant, and then deployed my pool through the market place, and joined my session hosts to the domain. My test user is able to log in through the Remote Desktop app and it pulls down the default Session Desktop, but when I try and launch it I received this error (Invalid Connection File). I navigate to the actual RDP file, and tried to launch from there - I get prompts to log in, and my UPN gets past them but then it errors out again. I'm not sure how to get past this point - anyone have any ideas?
evasseHi Eva I did try this, no dice. I am assuming you were talking about removing the feed from the Remote Desktop application, which I did 'unsubscribe' and then 'resubscribe' to it - to pull my resources all over again. One of the weird things, is my icon is blank for the RDP within the list of resources. As I said above, I tried to manually browse to the location where the RDP file lives and launch it from there - where I am greeted with some different errors... but HTML5 is still working. Sort of puzzled. :)
One thing to note is that, the HTML5 portal does work. So, I've got something! I tried to remove the feed, and re-add it, but no dice. I thought it may of been related to the autodiscovery via e-mail, as I do not have e-mail configured in my test tenant. But, since the web portal works I do not believe it's that.
rbergertd Yeah. Since this is so new, it's hard to troubleshoot and I'm just going by past things I know. Question, I had issues earlier where I could not log into the HTML5 until I made the user a tenant creator in Azure AD for WVD. But the RDS app worked fine. Quirky but it's only day 2!
stevenzelenko Thanks for the rec. I did check the tenant multiple times and I *think* everything is provisioned. Does this look okay to you? It's so odd, but I'm happy to end the night on a win with at least figuring out HTML5 is working. :)
rbergertd This looks like classic RDP issues. On the session host, I would try to delete the user profile if it even created one and try logging in again. You may want to log into RDS powershell as well and run get-rdstenant to see if your tenant is fully provisioned.
