Re: How to update Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise (aka Office) on WVD?
Check this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\UpdatesEnabled Enable it there and then check via a random Office application under Account> Update Options. You should be able to trigger an update that way. Don't forget to change the regkey back before sysprepping.18KViews1like11CommentsRe: Why is an AAD DC Administrator not a Domain Admin?
David Schrag If I recall correctly there should be a standard GPO in the AADDS domain that adds the AAD DC Admin group to the local admins of a sessionhost. It's applied on the AADDC Computers OU so perhaps you moved your VM's to another OU? Try applying that GPO there as well. I believe it's called "AADDC Computers GPO" but I'm not sure!16KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Why is an AAD DC Administrator not a Domain Admin?
AADDS has several limitations. One of them is that you can never be a Domain Administrator in the managed domain. So you can't add that account manually either: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/faqs#do-i-have-domain-administrator-privileges-for-the-managed-domain-provided-by-azure-ad-domain-services-15KViews0likes5CommentsRe: WVD Taskbar disapears when disconect /reconnect happens
Is their Explorer.exe process still running when they reconnect? I have seen some weirdness with Windows Search / Cortona / StartMenu stuff on Windows 10 before so as way of a test try disabling wsearch and do the disconnect / relog process.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: installing and executing azure cosmos db on WVD
With 'before and after' deployment; do you mean that you installed the emulator on a VM, SysPrepped it to create an Image and then used that image to deploy WVD hosts? According to the documentation the installer of the emulator will also place a certificate on the machine. Can you see where it is stored (machine or user store)? Sysprep recreates the local admin user so if you installed it with that one then that's probably why its gone.571Views0likes1CommentRe: wvd fslogix how to move profile container to another region
What do you mean with Profile Containers? Do you mean a Storage Account with an Azure File Share on it that holds the FSLogix Profile Containers? Hard to believe that you can only have Storage Accounts in Central US until recently. In any case, if you are using Storage Accounts: You cannot move these across Regions so you would have to create a new storage account and then migrate the data (via AzCopy or Robocopy). Then you would have to update the VHDLocations value in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles or in the GPO if you are using that (which is the preferred way)4.3KViews0likes3CommentsRe: WVD with Azure AD Domain Services Endpoint Manager
You can't since AADDS doesn't let you Sync Computer Objects to AzureAD. (It's one way from AzureAD to Windows Domain). AADDS is a limiting factor to all kinds of hybrid setups honestly. The consideration you are making can't work either I believe. An AADDS domain is always a single forest on its own. You can't extend it via other Windows AD servers.1.7KViews0likes4CommentsRe: What is the Tenant Name when creating host pools via the portal
hippygold Try this $AG = Get-AzWvdApplicationGroup -Name <AppGroupNameHere> -ResourceGroupName <RG name here> Get-AzRoleAssignment -Scope $AG.id | Where-Object{$_.RoleDefinitionName -eq "Desktop Virtualization User"} That should list all the users assigned to that group.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: What is the Tenant Name when creating host pools via the portal
I think you are looking at old cmdlets from before that WVD was manageable via the portal (in other words before; the Spring release of WVD when it became an ARM service). Old cmdlets look like, for example: Get-RDSSessionHost New cmdlet will look like : Get-AzWVDSessionHost Check here for all the new ones: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.desktopvirtualization/?view=azps-5.8.01.2KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Drive mapping
What does your GPO look like? Is the Storage Account itself AD-Joined or not? If not; then you'll have to provide credentials to the GPO in order to map using the 'AZURE\dmxwvdlab' user and password being the storage account Key. If it is AD joined then perhaps there is something wrong on a permissions level.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: different session hosts in the same hostpool?
You basically deploy one kind of base image (with pre-configured settings and software) to a single host-pool. So if the hostserver needs to be different for those two users groups and you cannot force this difference via Group Policy or AppAttach/AppMasking then you will need to deploy two host-pools with a different base pre-configured image for both. You'd also need two different hostpools if you don't want the users to mingle on the same server since you attach your FullDesktop Application Group on a hostpool level and not a server level. Look up FSLogix App Masking if you want to cut costs by only deploying a few servers that are shared by everyone but access to the installed software needs to be restricted for some (active directory) groups. That way you only need to manage/update one central image instead of separate ones for each user group. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/implement-application-masking-tutorial2.6KViews1like0CommentsRe: Can't Connect
MarkVista That error indicates that there aren't any Hosts in an 'available' state. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the actual CPU or Memory usage. Try checking their status in the Host-pool next time this happens: Make sure the checkmark is green and the machine isn't in a Drain-mode You can of course always check the metrics themselves to see if the machines are congested and are malfunctioning because of that to make sure. With regards to what resources are important for a Windows 10 WVD; always deploy a machine with at least 4CPUs if you want to avoid general performance or other usage issues.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: clean up old windows virtual desktop enviroment?
You will need to do this with PowerShell. I don't recall the commands on the top of my head but you will need to use the RDS commandlets (part of the WindowsVirtualDesktopPowershell module) to work your way backward deleting everything. First login with Add-RdsAccount -DeploymentUrl 'https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com' and then go (with the correct parameters of course!) Remove-RDSSessionhost => Remove-RDSAppGroup => Remove-RDSHostpool and Remove-RDSTenant968Views2likes0CommentsRe: Assigning permissions when using Azure Files for FSLogix Profiles in WVD
Your user needs to have SMB Elevated Contributor RBAC role on the share if you want to change permissions or connect using the Access key (you'll operate under SYSTEM then). Does the group WVD Users have SMB Contributor RBAC role on the share? Try verifying access before logging on through WVD. Try running Powershell as one of those users (via 'Run as Different User' context menu option) and then mapping the drive like 'New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\xxx.file.core.windows.net\share" -Persist'15KViews0likes4Comments
