MicrosoftSpring Update 2020 is in Public Preview!
We noticed this morning the previous autoscaling instructions for WVD https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/virtual-desktop-fall-2019/set-up-scaling-script is only intended for the 2019 fall release of WVD and not the new ARM based WVD. How is this scaling handled in the new WVD environment?
Hi JeremyWallace ,
good point which I´ve also addressed. For this reason I created an article showing how to perform scaling!

The second article going much more in detail will be released this week.
Hope this helps you, please leave me a comment if you want to know more.

patrickkoehler Good morning, I have a quick question about RDP audio redirection in the new release. I modified the RDP settings in Azure portal for Audio input to On and Audio output to play sound on remote computer, but Microsoft Teams couldn't detect the microphone on local device. Did I miss anything or should I still redirect audio with powershell.? thanks!
Hi Cookiekaikai!
thanks for coming back to me.
The only reliable way I experienced is to configure the audio capturing and camera redirect via PowerShell even in the new Spring Release.
This is how you can achieve best results:
1. Connect to your Azure Account with Admin rights:
Connect-AzAccount
2. Afterwards check your current RDPProperties of your HostPool. e.g.
Get-AzWvdHostPool -ResourceGroupName %YourRG% -Name %YourHostPool% | fl Name,CustomRDPProperty
3. Now define your RDP Properties into a variable, check the settings that are validated by me:
$rdpproperties = "audiocapturemode:i:1;capture:i:1;audiomode:i:0;camerastoredirect:s:*;redirectclipboard:i:1"
For more RDP settings check out the Microsoft Doc here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/rdp-files?context=/azure/virtual-desktop/context/context
4. Apply the settings to your HostPool
Update-AzWvdHostPool -ResourceGroupName %YourRG% -Name %YourHostPool% -CustomRDPProperty $rdpproperties
5. In your Remote Desktop app, click on the three points beside your HostPool and check for update.
6. Connect to your Desktop and see it works!
