FSLogix - Option to change path C:\Users\local_%username% to another disk
I'd like to improve user profile performance with FSLogix on Azure by optionally moving the C:\Users\local_%username% folder (used for redirections.xml) to the temp 😧 drive on Azure VMs with a temp disk. e.g. D:\Users\local_%username% I'm not referring to the C:\Users\%username% but the C:\Users\local_%username% folders. Currently this isn't configurable but it's referenced at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\Sessions\[SID]\LocalProfilePath This would offload IOPs from the OS disk and also make some user profile operations much faster, e.g. Teams cache could be redirected and offloaded to speed up Teams. The temp disk is generally much more performant than Azure Premium disks. It also sorts the issue of those local_%username% folders not getting cleaned up after an unexpected reboot/crash. If they're on the temp disk they'll get wiped out after a reprovision instead of having to script the cleanup. Cloud Cache paths can be customised to use the 😧 drive but it would be nice to move the redirections to that too. Regards, David
Remote Desktop for Mac 10.9.4 often causes spinning wheel of death when copying from Windows machine
Starting in the last version or two, I frequently get the "spinning wheel of death" after using Remote Desktop for Mac to copy from the remote Windows client. This manifests when I switch back to the mac and try to switch to Slack -- Slack will be frozen for 30 seconds to several minutes with the colorful spinning pinwheel. Many people have been experiencing this issue, both recently and in the last several years: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop-feedback/copy-and-paste-from-microsoft-remote-desktop-to-mac-causes/idi-p/3947326 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop-feedback/microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac-copy-and-paste-works-a-while/idi-p/3930905 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/565240/microsoft-remote-desktop-freezes-constantly-apple Please look into this, it's a productivity killer. And if there's anything I can grab for you that will help (like a snapshot of a process using the Mac activity monitor) please let me know. EDIT: I just attached a sample and spindump of Slack (the macOS process that gets the spinning wheel of death after copying text on the remote windows machine).IPadOS full screen on external monitor
Please can you allow users on iPadOS to have a full screen experience when connected to an external monitor, meaning it uses the full width of that external monitor. This has been achieved by several alternative solutions out there who offer Remote Desktop support already. Thanks
RemoteApp MacOS RD Client Not Rendering Context Menus (Works on Windows RD Client)
When connecting to a RemoteApp via Windows RD Client, a particular RemoteApp I use works great. However, when connecting to this same RemoteApp via the MacOS RD Client, when I right click on something on the program to open a context menu, the menu very briefly shows up and then disappears, making the program almost useless as lots of functions require right click menu access. Even though the menu visually disappears, if I click where a button on the menu would be, that selection works, so the menu is being "opened" it just isn't rendering properly. I thought it might be an issue with this particular software and remote connection use however this does NOT happen with Windows RD Client as mentioned, and it doesn't not happen on Windows or Mac when a full RDP session (with desktop) is used. This seems specific to the MacOS RD Client with RemoteApp mode being used.
Change AVD Insights Workbooks to use VM Insights Queries
Currently the AVD Insights workbooks rely on the Microsoft Monitoring Agent which is being retired. Please release an AVD Insights solution that works with and utilises the VM Insights capabilities of Azure Monitor. This will allow us to decommission the use of the MMA.
Need for multi-windowed experience
We are currently delivering a third party software application through Azure Virtual Desktop to hundreds of employees. Users have a need to use the application across multiple windows (view tabular data on one monitor and map data on another monitor). When doing so they can't interact with their local machine (the session desktop has to be maximized and fully covers both windows with no access to your local taskbar). This is extremely problematic because users can't use Word, Outlook, Teams, etc. when using the application in multiple windows. It is not an option to put the other applications mentioned above in the virtual desktop. We would have preferred to deliver the application through a RemoteApp streaming option but Azure's RemoteApp does not support ArcPro.
