New Outlook support for AVD

Question

I'm reposting this feedback thread on the forums to hopefully attract a bigger audience: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop-feedback/can-t-update-to-new-outlook-on-azure-virtual-desktop/idc-p/4064324

Has anyone else bumped into the problem that the new Outlook client doesn't seem to be supported on the AVD (at least when running FSLogix).

-------

FSLogix has released an updated version to support the new Teams client. It detects and registers the AppX package, so it's not removed after signoff. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/overview-release-notes#fslogix-2210-hotfix-3-29878463912

I haven't seen any mentioned support for the new Outlook client however.

For me the whole app still keeps disappearing after signing off, even with the latest version of FSLogix. Has anyone had any succesfull results on getting the new Outlook running on AVD?

You have to install it on the base image using a powershell that allows for the app to run in a single machine with multiple users assuming you run multisession hosts but you are still stuck with classic outlook till MS supports it fully. I think thats the release after 23H2 sometime this year.

The official deployment/install guide is here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/outlook/get-started/deployment-new-outlookNon-administrative Windows Package Manager and Setup.exe Bootstrapper installs do not survive log off.

Bumping because the post on the AVD Feedback forum got closed by Microsoft:

Does anyone have any updates on this? I haven't found any solution yet.
