Weird problem when comparing the answers from chat playground and answer from api
I'm running into a weird issue with Azure AI Foundry (gpt-4o-mini) and need help. I'm building a chatbot that classifies each user message into: follow-up to previous message repeat of an earlier message brand-new query The classification logic works perfectly in the Azure AI Foundry Chat Playground. But when I use the exact same prompt in Python via: AzureChatOpenAI() (LangChain) or the official Azure OpenAI code from "View Code" (client.chat.completions.create()) …I get totally different and often wrong results. I’ve already verified: same deployment name (gpt-4o-mini) same temperature / top_p / max_tokens same system and user messages even tried copy-pasting the full system prompt from the Playground But the API version still behaves very differently. It feels like Azure AI Foundry’s Chat Playground is using some kind of hidden system prompt, invisible scaffolding, or extra formatting that is NOT shown in the UI and NOT included in the “View Code” snippet. The Playground output is consistently more accurate than the raw API call. Question: Does the Chat Playground apply hidden instructions or pre-processing that we can’t see? And is there any way to: view those hidden prompts, or replicate Playground behavior exactly through the API or LangChain? If anyone has run into this or knows how to get identical behavior outside the Playground, I’d really appreciate the help.
Seamless SSO According to MS Support
I am in the process of setting up a POC for AVD and followed all the instructions that I have found for enabling Seamless SSO for AVD. We are currently running in hybrid mode and I have created a server 2025 with latest patches. When I attempt to sign in via web or windows app, I signin to the web interface or the app and I am presented with the desktops. I launch a desktop and it prompts me for a user and pass (the user is pre-populated) My understanding is that this should not happen. It should seamlessly signin (This would cause issues with our users not using passwords) I contacted Microsoft support and they state that this is by design. They stated this is how it operates in their lab. Can someone clarify, if I sign into Windows app or the web, that my authentication should seamlessly sign me into the AVD server I have published? Thanks
Error on deployment on a CHE
I'm experiencing an error during the deployment of any package to a cloud-hosted environment. The error occurs specifically at step 11, 'Global Update script for service model: AOS Service,' and results in a failure to resume the deployment process. The issue happens on the DB sync, however if I tried to sync the DB from the visual studio it succeeded without any errors. And If I tried to restore another empty DB for example, the deployment will succeed. And if I tried to restore the DB on another CHE, the same issue happens. The issue is that we need this DB, because it is the Master configuration DB, so we cannot delete it. So my question is what is the best way to solve this issue and how can we know what is the issue with this DB? Thanks in advance.
Frequent platform-initiated VM redeployments (v6) in North Europe – host OS / firmware issues
Hi everyone, We’ve been experiencing recurring platform-initiated redeployments on Azure VMs (v6 series) in the North Europe region and wanted to check if others are seeing something similar. Around two to three times per week, one of our virtual machines becomes unavailable and is automatically redeployed by the Azure platform. The Service Health notifications usually mention that the host OS became unresponsive and that there is a low-level issue between the host operating system and firmware. The VM is then started on a different host as part of the auto-recovery process. There is no corresponding public Azure Status incident for North Europe when this occurs. From the guest OS perspective, there are no warning signs beforehand such as high CPU or memory usage, kernel errors, or planned maintenance events. This behavior looks like a host or hardware stamp issue, but the frequency is concerning. Has anyone else running v6 virtual machines in North Europe observed similar unplanned redeployments? Has Microsoft shared any statements or acknowledgements regarding ongoing host or firmware stability issues for this region or SKU? If you worked with Azure Support on this, were you told this was cluster-specific or related to a particular hardware stamp? We are already engaging Azure Support, but I wanted to check whether this is an isolated case or something others are also encountering. Thanks in advance for any insights or shared experiences.
Azure file sync, avoid duplicate files
Hello guys, I've a share with 2 server endpoint with Cloud Tiering enabled in Azure file sync environment, unfortunately on this share are created duplicate files with the name of the server endpoint so it means that the same file are opened by users on both endpoint. My question is if it's possibile to set priority on these endpoint so the users can connect only to the first endpoint server unless this is unavailable then the second endpoint can be use. Or there are other method to avoid this duplicated files? thanks
Azure Logic App Creating multiple containers
Hi guys, I have a simple workflow in logic apps that reads data from library in sharepoint and then create the file inside of blob container. The problem is that a container is being created for each time the file is updated. So the logic app is creating the file normally but is also creating a new container with ID codes as a name. Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks"Your credentials did not work" AVD Azure AD joined
I'm trying to test AVD Azure AD-joined only. I've met all the requirements here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm. The PC I'm connecting from is running Windows 10 21H2 and is Azure AD registered to the same AAD as the AVD VM. I've enabled PKU2U on both the local PC and AVD VM, and tried it both with and without targetisaadjoined:i:1 in the host pool config. When I try to log in via the Remote Desktop Client (the MSI one, not Store), I enter my UPN prefixed by AzureAD\ as required. I always get "Your credentials did not work". The web client doesn't work either. The security log on the AVD VM shows ID 4625 - "Unknown user name or bad password." I can log in without any issues to the same AVD VM from a PC that is Azure AD-joined and using Windows Hello for Business, so I know AVD works. The only thing I'm not sure of is MFA. My account has MFA enabled, but from what I understand that should not be an issue as I'm not using the legacy per-user MFA that the article says isn't supported.Ubuntu as session host
Hi all, I understand there is no native solution for running an ubuntu vm as a session host. I didn't find any image in the marketplace for this. I found this https://github.com/microsoft/LinuxBrokerForAVDAccess that proposes a solution. Does anyone actually uses this or any other solutions? Thanks in advance
Container Apps Environment Networking (Consumption)
AI workloads are no longer just about models, they’re about how those models connect. On Azure, many teams are running inference APIs, background processors, and event-driven AI components on Azure Container Apps Environments (CAE). CAE fits AI workloads well: it scales fast, scales to zero, and removes Kubernetes overhead. But once AI services need to securely reach private data sources, on-prem systems, vector databases, or external AI services, networking becomes the real design challenge. I’ve written a short, practical deep dive on how Consumption-based vs Workload-profile Container Environments behave from a networking perspective, what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters for modern AI platforms. 👉 Read the full article here: https://vakhsha.com/blog.html?post=blog-06Issue with gMSA when installing Cloud Sync
We are trying to install Cloud Sync to make use of the group writeback. However, we get the same error message every time we try to complete the installation We already tried: created a new sync server from scratch test the service account with "test-ADServiceAccount" check the encryption settings of the GMSA (the account is being created in the AD) removed an old orphaned GC tried it with a custom GMSA (same error) gave the server access to the GMSA via set-ADServiceAccount Did anyone else ever had this problem or know how to fix it?Failed to send, wrong host address or cannot reach address due to network issues

Openmetrics on Azure observability
Team, I am trying to connect a couple of openmetrics endpoints to Azure Monitor allthough it does not seem to support out of the box, I am overseeing the documentation? is there a easy way to connect openmetrics endpoint ? It seems it might be able to connect the openmetrics endpoints if I deploy Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus, but its not clear.pullout data from event hub to a linux platform
We have a project to read some api interrogation and feed them to our db on a linux platform. The aim of the whole project it to interact with an IOT. The rest api have been developped on third party azure platform. We can query the api from the linux shell by "curl -x post...." command but to be able to read the answer, we need to go through the "event hub" of azure. This is not the most convenient way for us to get the info and feed them to our system. Is there any way to fetch this info directly in our linux server?Unable to delete Foundry Agent identity Entra app in Azure
