Issue with AVD User Profile – FSLogix Not Recreating
Hi all, We have a user who has repeatedly reported that their settings and favorites are not loading in AVD. To troubleshoot, we deleted the user’s FSLogix profile from our storage account to allow it to recreate automatically. However, the profile is not being recreated. We are operating in a hybrid environment, and the user is part of a group assigned the Storage File Data SMB Share Elevated Contributor role. From the profile logs, we found the following error: FindFile failed for path: \\<redacted>.file.core.windows.net\userprofiles\<redacted>\Profile*.VHD (Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced.) What are some likely causes and additional troubleshooting steps we should take?
IKEv2 and Windows 10/11 drops connectivity but stays connected in Windows
I’ve seen this with 2 different customers using IKEv2 User VPNs (virtual wan) and Point to Site gateways in hub and spoke whereby using the VPN in a Always On configuration (device and user tunnel) that after a specific amount of time (56 minutes) the IKEv2 connection will drop the tunnel but stay connected in Windows. To restore the connection, you just reconnect. has anyone else had a similar experience? I’ve seen the issue with ExpressRoute and with/without Azure firewalls in the topology too.
Container on App Service keeps getting stopped and terminated
I've got a .Net app running in a Docker container that I'm trying to run on a Linux App Service but as per the (sanitised) log output below from the Platform log stream, it's getting terminated only 4 seconds after it started. Where can I get information on why this is happening? Starting container: a0e3af0a_myapp-dev-as. Starting watchers and probes. Starting metrics collection. Container is running. Container start method finished after 1990 ms. Container is terminating. Grace period: 0 seconds. Stop and delete container. Retry count = 0 Timestamps removed as the forum doesn't seem to like log output?
Outlook 365 Organization Chart not working with Azure Manager
I was hoping someone could help me because I couldn't find the information online. I am getting this message when I click on the Organization tab in the user details from the Outlook 365 "see more..." I get this message: "We don't have the details to show the organization chart for [Name of Person]. Organization details are provided by your admin or human resources department." I have updated their profile in Azure and selected their manager. For some reason on my desktop outlook application, it is showing the organization chart, but not titles. I am not sure why this is happening. I would appreciate any help! Thank you so very much!
Remote Desktop Windows App Not able to Launch Application
Hey Everyone, We are deploying a POC / Build out of AVD in my companies environment. And all was going well. Until we were required to pass the CIS Benchmark for Security. Something in there has broken our environment in a strange way. We have an issue where Remote Apps will launch, but then get stuck at Preparing windows. The screen freezes for the user at preparing Windows, but as far as we can tell, the users connection is successful, the remote app launches on the VM itself, but from the Remote Desktop Client, the user is stuck on the blue logon screen. The User can even send a CTRL Alt Delete function which they can use to Lock the Computer, then they can unlock it, but it takes them straight back to the same stuck preparing windows screen. Its as if its never able to present the application. We have confirmed that this issue has occured due to GPO. Specifically it was GPO that was created based on the CIS Benchmarking Tool. So some security setting we have implemented has caused this isssue. Screenshot is of all the services that we disabled as part of the GPO but it may not be that, as CIS reccomendations were quite large and contained a lot of settings. Any ideas what I might be missing. Another interesting point is that remote apps launch fine on the Web version of AVD, and on IOS the apps launch no worries. So it is limited to the Windows version of the Remote desktop client. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, other wise we are stuck with removing these rules one by one to try find the culprit which could take weeks. I have attached the list of rules we implemented as part of the benchmarking. Any help will earn my forever love and gratitude!!! Since AVD is so new, and even a quick name change has got me struggling with scouring the internet for anyone else experiencing this issue.
Add claim for personnal App registration
Hello, I want to add the samaccountName in the token for an internal application. Ideally, I would like to do the equivalent of this rule: But if that's not possible, I'd like to have at least the samaccountName for the synchronized accounts. Can you tell me how to do this ? Thanks
Runtime installations on Azure Functions
We have a serverless requirement to run an ETL tool jobs from Azure Functions. The run time utility package for the ETL tool, would need to be installed on the azure functions, so it can run those utility tasks when invoked. Is there a standard way of installing a utility package every time the azure function is invoked? Note the azure function would be in python and python does not have an existing package to run informatica jobs.Downtime of API Management during deployment
Which actions will cause a downtime of Azure API Management so APIs will not be able to consume (Premium Tier)? E.g. changing network would be obviously. But what about deployments of APIs, Products, Scaling up and down... How can I find out which actions will make the APIs unavailable? Or is there a mechanism which will keep them available in each scenario (Even if "Service is being updated")? Thanks!How can I convert an website on Microsoft to IOS?

I have just started working with ACI. I have a container running DNS/TLS on port 853. I'm seeing connections from private/internal IP and wondering if ACI auto monitors as they aren't any IP addresses in subscription. I can't see anything in the docs that would suggest it is auto-monitored, but wondering how/why those IP are able to route to the container. notice: ssl handshake failed 10.92.0.10 port 64047Mouse Click Offset Issue in Azure Virtual Desktop App on Windows 11 with Dual Monitors
We are experiencing a recurring mouse misalignment issue when using the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Windows App on several Windows 11 clients. The problem occurs on devices with two external monitors and affects multiple users. Environment Windows version: 10.0.26200.6899 (Windows 11, 25H2) AVD Windows App: mainly version 2.0.757.0, some clients are on slightly different versions Hardware: Windows 11 PCs with two external monitors Display settings: both monitors at 1920x1080, 100% scaling Mac users (using the AVD app) report no issues Issue description The visual mouse pointer and the actual click position become misaligned inside the AVD RemoteApp session. For example, clicking on one item may select the item below it. This appears to be a rendering or coordinate-mapping issue within AVD when running inside the Windows App. Temporary workaround Minimizing the AVD window and then maximizing it immediately resolves the issue. This refresh/redraw action realigns the pointer and click coordinates. Questions Has anyone else seen mouse click offset issues in the AVD Windows App on Windows 11 25H2 with dual-monitor configurations? Are there known fixes, configuration adjustments, or recommended workarounds beyond the minimize/maximize redraw?
Can I send MgGraph traffic over Service Endpoint from Azure VM?
I have a Azure VM which resides on a subnet that has UDR to send all traffic to 0.0.0.0/0 through our firewall which in turn sends the http and https traffic to our proxy. I am having problems executing graph queries on this VM. "connect-mggraph" succeeds because "Microsoft.AzureActiveDirectory" service endpoint is there on this subnet. But after that query to get a user or anything else throws "an error occurred" message. My thinking is that the traffic is not being sent over https/http and thus not being forwarded to our proxy from the firewall. Thus , I want to see if it is possible to send this traffic through a Azure Service Endpoint instead?Office-js addin with webapi in Api management. Failed to fetch
Hello. My application contains one office-js addin (typescript) project + one Webapi core (c#) project, both communicating through a fetch function when cors is enabled.It works together properly on my local computer. I published : - the webapi on azure api management (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-rest-api). Test gaves a 200 OK. - the Office addin on azure. It works properly (as long the fetch function is not involved). However when used, fetch function raises errors (message = "failed to fetch").The issue may be about proper ssl certificates as described in : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/requirements-for-running-office-add-ins. Is it a possible solution ? I tried with self signed certificate with no success so far. Is there any tutorial explaining how to implement it ? Any help would be appreciatedUnderstanding Azure AD Tenants, Users, Groups, and Roles: A Practical Guide
