MSIX app attach Azure portal integration public preview
I registered two Subscriptions to test this feature. Received confirmation Mail but not sure which Subscription or if both Subscriptions were whitelisted. What is the symptom if Subscription is not whitelisted?
- I have WVD host pool with one Active session host.
- Host pool is in validation mode.
- File share where I uploaded MSIX Image is accessible to VMs in the host pool as well as for users (read-only permissions).
- Installed WVDContosoAppAttach certificate to session host > Local Computer > Trusted people.
- I have succesfully added the provided Chrome MSIX Image to the host pool. Verified on the session host disk management that Image is mounted.
- Published MSIX app to Remoteapp Application group only.
- For testing purposes I have also published from the Start menu Paint to the same Remoteapp Application group.
When refreshing Remote Desktop client, I initially see Both Paint from Start Menu as well as MSIX published app as expected. Paint can be successfully launched, MSIX app does not Work. Connection opens but Google chrome is not started.
If I go back and refresh again Remote Desktop client web feed, Published MSIX app vanishes leaving only published Paint from Start Menu. I repeatedly tested this behaviour last Time on Saturday.
This same issue occurs with both of My Subscriptions.
What could be the issue? Really frustrated that I cannot get this working…
IMG_Before.png shows the State immediatelly after First Time publishing chrome (20.27).
IMG_After.png shows the State after I refreshed the web feed three minutes Later (20.30) when MSIX chrome app vanished...
- Hi Jantu, I would feel the same way for the MSIX app not to appear and the start menu app to appear we are talking about app registration failing. Initially it seems to work but once our code sees that the app does not stage/register its missing from the feed. Can you pm me your host pool name and I will have an engineer look at this
Hi Stefan, I sent you PM with host pool information yesterday.
One additional interesting thing what I noticed that when I provisioned yesterday new Session host using default Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 mult-session image to same host pool (validation enabled) just to rule out that something is wrong with my custom image, there was no logs related to MSIX App Attach. I have created custom View containing every entry from RemoteDesktopServices where Event source contains AppAttach.
Results seen from newly created Session host. Nothing related to AppAttach...
Results seen in previously created session host in same host pool
Update from monday:
Noticed that newly provisioned Session host WVD agent is older compared to one earlier provisioned in same validation host pool. 1.0.2743.1300 versus 1.0.2548.6500. Maybe this older WVD agent is missing MSIX App attach features... Any way to Force WVD agent update?
- The reason your agent is old is that the hostpool is either not in the validation environment or hasn't picked up the change. The agent version is controlled by the RD broker so there is no easy way to override it.
