Assign users security group to the desktop application group?
Hy,
>> The Add-RdsAppGroupUser cmdlet doesn't support adding security groups and only adds one user at a time to the app group. If you want to add multiple users to the app group, rerun the cmdlet with the appropriate user principal names. <<
-> is there any workaround for adding AD-Groups? Our customer has a lot of accounts to add.
Thanks,
Erik
eriknu : One way that a lot of folks achieve this is by polling an Azure AD group, then refreshing every morning (or couple of hours). I don't have the exact PowerShell, but basically a script that does:
- Get a list of all users in <AADSecurityGroup>
- Get a list of all users in <RdsAppGroup>
- Find users in <RdsAppGroup> but not <AADSecurityGroup>
- Foreach user, remove the user from <RdsAppGroup>
- Find users in <AADSecurityGroup> but not <RdsAppGroup>
- Foreach user, add the user to the <RdsAppGroup>

is there a new update/enhancement for this to make things easier? maybe in WVD Management portalA?
- thanks for this. I would try it at the next demo deployment.
