Customize the friendly name of the desktop application ("SessionDesktop") using Bicep/ARM

[SvenAelterman]

Hi,

I am deploying AVD environments using Bicep/ARM templates.

I would like to customize the friendly name of the desktop in the Desktop Application Group. By default, it reads "SessionDesktop."

Setting the friendlyName property on the Application Group definition doesn't change that. And because it's a desktop application group, there doesn't seem to be a way to define the actual applicationGroups/applications resource.

Thanks,

Sven.

Hi Sven

Did you ever manage to change this display name of the SessionDesktop with Bicep?

Kind regards,
Stephan

Hi Sven,

Did you manage to resolve this via Bicep. If yes, Please help with the solution.

This is how you can do it in terraform (by calling directly REST API), the same thing can be accomplished by `deploymentScript` in bicep/ARM

resource "azapi_resource_action" "change-desktopname" {
  type        = "Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups/desktops@2022-10-14-preview"
  resource_id = "${azurerm_virtual_desktop_application_group.main.id}/desktops/SessionDesktop"
  method      = "PATCH"
  body = jsonencode({
    properties = {
      friendlyName = "DevOps Desktop"
    }
    }
  )
}
