Scaling Plan with AVD session hosts on Azure Local doesn't perform a clean shutdown
I have setup a scaling plan for my AVD sessions hosts that are running on Azure Local. The scaling plan is working as expected and the machines are taken offline during the hours specified which is reducing the service fee costs. However, I've noticed that the Scaling Plan is simply powering off the VM, it's not telling the VM to cleanly shut down which is leading to the sessions hosts having event log entries that they weren't shut down correctly and putting them at risk of disk corruption issues. Is this intended?
CA policy Application not found in Target Resources
Hi, We have a CA policy for some external users (users created in AD and synked to Entra ID) that block access to everything in M365 except Azure Virtual Desktop (Resource ID: 9cdead84-a844-4324-93f2-b2e6bb768d07) and Security Info (for MFA setup). I read about Windows App, that it will replace the "Remote Desktop" app and it's web interface https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/. So I tried to use the new Windows App web interface (https://windows.cloud.microsoft) with my external test user, but I can not log on. I get a screen that I don't have access. Checked the sign in logs and found that I try to log on to resource called "Windows 365 Portal". Test - Logging on using the Windows App installed on a PC: Application: Windows 365 Client Application ID: 4fb5cc57-dbbc-4cdc-9595-748adff5f414 Resource: Azure Virtual Desktop Resource ID: 9cdead84-a844-4324-93f2-b2e6bb768d07 Test - Logging on using the Windows App web interface (https://windows.cloud.microsoft/): Application: Windows 365 Portal Application ID: 3b511579-5e00-46e1-a89e-a6f0870e2f5a Resource: Windows 365 Portal Resource ID: 3b511579-5e00-46e1-a89e-a6f0870e2f5a "Windows 365 Portal" does not exist in the list of applications that I can set as an exception in the CA policy. The closest I found was "Windows 365", but that does not solve the problem (different Resource ID). What to do?
How to disable login for one server
Quick question: How do i disable logon for just one of many servers in a host pool? I tried Change Logon /Disable, but users are still getting redirected to the disabled server, only to get the error message "Remote logins disabled" ... Surely there must be a simple solution i have missed?
Green Pixelation in When Resizing RDP Window in Windows App
I'm experiencing an issue with Azure Virtual Desktop running on a Standard NV8as v4 VM. When I resize the RDP window using the Windows App, the session displays green pixelation artifacts, especially during or immediately after the window size change. The VM uses the AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU, and I've tried updating and uninstalling the GPU driver, as well as installing the AmdGpuDriverWindows Extension but the issue persists.AVD RemoteApp disconnects after sleep — any way to mimic Citrix Session Reliability?
In Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), whenever my laptop goes into sleep/hibernate and I wake it up, my RemoteApp disconnects and throws an error. With Citrix, the session stays “alive” because of Session Reliability, but AVD doesn’t seem to handle this the same way. I’ve already set session timeouts and keep-alive settings via RDP properties/GPO, but the problem isn’t policy-related — it’s triggered by the local device going to sleep and dropping the network. I have full permissions to configure and manage host pools, session hosts, and RDP properties. Is there any way to mimic Citrix’s behavior (Session Reliability / seamless resume) so users don’t get disconnected after sleep? Or is this simply a limitation of the AVD client?Mouse pointer disappearing over Word/Excel/Outlook in AVD
Hi We are seeing a strange issue on a bunch of session hosts where user over certain apps cannot see the mouse pointer in their full screen AVD sessions. Session hosts are running Windows 10 22H2 up to date (well to February B week release); user client up to date, I am not aware we had user ever report this prior to completely rebuilding a new host pool last autumn for the AppReadiness crashing issues. From what we can tell this only seem to happen with Microsoft Excel, Word and the Outlook compose window, the mouse pointer basically becomes transparent as you can't see it so it makes it hard to select text or cells accurately. Clients are mostly a mix of HP and Lenovo PCs micro PCs running Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 23H2 Enterprise on Intel 8th to 12th Gen CPUs and AMD Ryzen Pro CPUs with integrated graphics. Does anyone else see this or any ideas what might be causing it?
Move Exisiting UserProfiles to FsLogix FileShare
Hello AVD Community, Is it possible to move existing user profiles on a C:/drive from an existing session host to a newly configured Azure FileShare and FSlogix? We intend implementing FSlogix profile management and would like to use two session hosts as best practice. Currently, we have just one session host and all users have their profiles on the VM. But with fslogix and file share I want to move those profiles or how best can this be achieved? Using the registry key to delete an existing profile will cause a lot of noise. Thanks,fslogix printing does not work after changing profile from UPM to fslogix
I use Manuel Winkel's script <www.deyda.net> to convert UPM profiles to FSLogix profiles. Which users then encounter the problem that they can no longer print? Deleting printers from the registry and restarting the printer queue does not help. If I then create a new profile for the employees, they can print. Equipment: Windows 2019, Citrix 7 2203 CU6, FSLogix 3.25.626.21064Main monitor for the Remote Desktop Client
Is there a way to select a "main monitor" for the the AVD session. Our users have a laptop (wherever they want it) amongst 3 standard 24" monitors. We have a few hyper-annoying users making this request and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason that I could find in short order to select a main monitor.
