Sharepoint library subscription graph
Hey there! Is there a way to enable Sharepoint subscription for creates and updates (preferably via new Partner EventGrid but standard webhook would do too). I've set up following graph subscriptions for list and driveitem but neither seem to work. Am I missing something? { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#subscriptions", "value": [ { "id": "e92e870e-802f-41aa-967c-253ba1ac4973", "resource": "/sites/tenant.sharepoint.com:/sites/library-Test:/lists/356a16c3-a2a1-4a08-bc8b-062b51fcd325", "applicationId": "de8bc8b5-d9f9-48b1-a8ad-b748da725064", "changeType": "updated", "clientState": null, "notificationUrl": "EventGrid:?ConnectionID", "notificationQueryOptions": null, "notificationContentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8", "lifecycleNotificationUrl": null, "expirationDateTime": "2023-05-30T00:00:00Z", "creatorId": "b89cb0bb-27fa-42ca-a469-fdb0605e72c4", }, { "id": "6d175528-354a-4f08-8b98-b780c8774715", "resource": "/drives/b!lAp_Yf4iZkiNTEFjlL32VYuN9OCXwEdEmTVvGGv0AVvDFmo1oaIISryLBitR_NMl/root", "applicationId": "de8bc8b5-d9f9-48b1-a8ad-b748da725064", "changeType": "updated", "clientState": null, "notificationUrl": "EventGrid:?ConnectionID", "notificationQueryOptions": null, "notificationContentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8", "lifecycleNotificationUrl": null, "expirationDateTime": "2023-05-30T00:00:00Z", "creatorId": "b89cb0bb-27fa-42ca-a469-fdb0605e72c4", } ] }Defender for Business servers Public Preview?
I was browsing through catalog and stumbled upon this: https://admin.microsoft.com/#/catalog/offer-details/Microsoft-Defender-for-Business-servers-Public-Preview-Trial/B8DF6D25-453D-49B4-A1DB-D68F050B3828 It clearly says public preview - did I miss an announcement of such big news? 🙂 I'm eager to read more, anyone has more details on it? Thanks!Has there been any significant development / bugfixes around classic roles in 2022?
We know Azure is getting all the love, but has there been any significant / any improvement or development work at all for classic, core roles like AD DS/ADCS, Fileserver/DNS/dhcp etc? It would seem to me that since 2016 nothing has significantly changed with that regards. If you compare a gap of major release, like 2008 to 2012 - its so much different - whereas in most cases - 2016-2022 versions are quite alike in terms of feature parity. It kind of looks like life support, not an active development 😞 Best regards! Alex P.Re: Office, and potentially other apps, can launch other apps ... like a browser
Abel Espino For RDS admins WVD gives out of the box worries like Gateway management, certificates, high availability, SQL maintenance, configuration, MFA security and loads of other stuff. It is a selling point in itself already, even if locking down WVD is down to RDS admin. Many organizations will have an RDS GPO ready which can be applied to WVD with only minor tweaks, if any at all. Since we are trying to make a voice... From my point of view, I still find it a big burden of needing to have classic AD / AD DS installed. I wish MS priorities Windows Server managed by Intune + working AAD Join to Windows Servers. Classic AD has been a good technology, it still is, but it has it's age already. There are steps in progress for that, like Windows Hello over RDP and Windows Server can already be joined to AAD in limited way, but its far from there yet to hold a serious production case 🙂Re: Office, and potentially other apps, can launch other apps ... like a browser
Abel Espino It is still the same Session Host as it has ever been, with same lockdown policies that can be applied. The technology running on top of Windows 10/ Windows Server isn't totally new. So old tricks will work here either - see and read about locking down RDSH hosts and apply proper settings that work for your org. Since WVD requires classic AD, you should be able to deploy required policies without troubles that prevent users from escaping their app. You can even go step further and lock it down with Applocker, which by the way you should.Re: System insights missing from Hyper-V edition
Dave Patrick Thanks for the link I have been building some tooling for Windows Server management and to my surprise Hyper-V edition is seriously lacking compared to full version in terms of manageability. Windows 10 is far more manageable than this fellow 😉 . What's worse, it seems completely undocumented as well. I have been trying to run DSC scripts for this - no avail - core DLLs are missing. Same goes with System Insights and select other features. Do you know if Windows Server Product Team has some sort of "feature comparision" between Hyper-V edition and standard one, in terms of usable roles and features? Or is there a hidden documentation somewhere?Re: System insights missing from Hyper-V edition
Hello Dave! Have you tried running this cmdlet on Hyper-V edition of Windows Server? I can't get this to work. It seems to me most of critical management features are not there in Hyper-V edition, including - to my surprise, DSC - let alone System Insights.Re: ARM WVD SID lookup
PavithraT thank you for reply! I'm well aware of AADDS, however for scenarios where I'm helping micro and small businesses AADDS provides a price tag a bit too high for them. What I found was most cost efficient so far was to simply deploy single DC, create Host Pool node, install an app, promote host pool node to DC, and decom the old DC. This way Host pool is its own AD authority and the only one SMB needs - especially when virtualising a single app or two. I really wish to live to day when AAD Joined devices (servers and desktop alike) are first class citizens in Windows / Windows Server / RDS realm. Maybe somewhere in 2028 🙂WVD Windows Server licensing
Hello! I have been looking into licensing bits of Windows Virtual Desktop solution that runs on Windows Server host pool. What is clear and without any doubt - every user needs RDS CAL with SA Rights (VL +SA / CSP subscription). Yet however when deploying host pool with Windows Server I notice the following: It has been automatically marked during deployment and I had no control over it. When inspected in ARM it corresponds to the following property: "licenseType": "Windows_Client" When looking into Resource Meter usage, it seems to be applying AHB for Server (!): To my best knowledge, Service Tier: "bs series windows" corresponds to Windows Server License PAYG. This is a normal VM that I deployed outside of Host Pool with Server PAYG license applied This in turn is standard Host-Pool Windows Server VM, which meters as if it had actual AHB benefit applied(!) Following questions now: 1) Is Windows Server license free for Windows Server Host Pools? (I so wish this was the case 😉 ) 2) If this turns out to be incorrect, all aware customers should set PAYG license model? Really hope for some clarifications Thanks!ARM WVD SID lookup
Hello! I just ran through ARM deployment of WVD and I think there has been a difference in technical account implementation. Previously V1.0 release it was enough for local UPN to match Azure AD, without specifically requiring AD Connect Sync between RDS domain and AAD tenant. I am managing a handful of AAD only (Cloud-first) deployments and exploring configuration options from there on. I have created AD domain with the same UPN as my AAD tenant, added myself to the WVD apps, but I'm getting errors: Source RDAgent Code 1332 CodeSymbolic ConnectionFailedNoMappingOfSIDinAD Message No mapping between account names and security IDs was done I have went to RDOperation TSF log files and converted them, C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Monitoring\Tables , and found the error stack: Microsoft.RDInfra.Shared.Common.RestError.RestException: Could not resolve UPN from SID ---> Microsoft.RDInfra.Shared.Common.RestError.InnerRestException: Could not resolve UPN from SID ---> Microsoft.RDInfra.Shared.Common.RestError.InnerRestException: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done Would that mean now that On-premises SID is queried against Azure AD in this configuration? If these are not synced, they won't match. Is AAD Connect now a hard requirement? "Manual syncing" of UPNs and passwords no longer seem to work as discussed previously: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Virtual-Desktop/AD-Sync-not-strictly-required/m-p/873252#M1517 CCing michawets as you have helped me before with this 🙂Re: System insights missing from Hyper-V edition
Hey Dave Im quite familiar with system insights and I love the feature - id Just want to know how would I enable it on hyperv edition (the one thats automatically activated and free for use). I would need some guidance on adding it as it's missing from the default feature list. I haven't found any relevant info in the docs about this scenario, or maybe I have just missed it?System insights missing from Hyper-V edition
Hey there It seems to me that feature System-Insights is missing from the "free" Hyper-V server. Are there any ways to sideload the feature? I have access to OEM / Retail media as well which do include this, however I'd be happiest with some possible "most official" fixes - like built in PS commands rather than messing inside registry. Image downloaded yesterday from Eval Center and This seems directly related to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-migration-service/known-issues#storage-migration-service-isnt-included-in-windows-server-2019-evaluation-or-windows-server-2019-essentials-edition MS suggest using this original media as a workaround and not activating it, however I'm in doubt how is this a fix if someone intends to use Essentials or Hyper-V edition. Any suggestions where to look for? Br. Alex PWVD Server Remote app session hangs
Hello! One of my users is currently running Windows Virtual Deskop on Windows Server in Azure, and has problems with RemoteApp "loosing" connection and needs to be restarted On that time, I have found that user session gets disconnected with error 2147954430 - which might be a "BAD_GATEWAY" response from the service? How can I get detailed information why this has happened - is Geneva / RDInfra agent capable of showing detailed, verbose logs so I can try to tell if the issue was with Microsoft GW / Broker or my session host? It seems to be quite frequent, as per following log extract. Any advice appreciated! Thanks!
