[Announcement] Remote app publishing using app alias fails

[Pavithra Thiruvengadam]

Hi everyone, thanks for the continued testing of WVD. We’ve seen errors while publishing remote apps using the app alias. 

PS C:\> New-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName "contoso" -HostPoolname "contosoHostPool" -AppGroupName "officeApps" -Name "Excel" -AppAlias "excel"

We are working on a fix. In the meantime, you can publish start menu apps using the full file path.

e.g.

New-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName "contoso" -HostPoolname "contosoHostPool" -AppGroupName "webApps" -Name "internetExplorerContosoWebApp" -FilePath "C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" -FriendlyName "Contoso Web App" -IconPath "C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"

Thanks.

This issue has been fixed now. You can publish app using the AppAlias as well as the file path. This issue has been fixed now. You can publish app using the AppAlias as well as the file path.
