Need insight to domain join failures for session host configuration
We are trying to use the session host configuration for a new AVD host pool. We have confirmed that it can join computer to the specified OU without difficulty when we do it manually, and that the key vault access is intact since the local admin is created without issue. But any new session hosts fail to join to the domain. They're created with all other specifications. If we try to add them manually it seems to create some kind of instability in the FSLogix where it will then permanently hang for users when trying to log off. It would be good if we had insight to the domain join failures so we don't have to manually join them. In the deployment I can see the network, the VM, and a DSC, but that DSC is only for joining to the AVD Host pool. I don't see anything in it to join using the key vault credentials.
Implement a feature that allows the RDS HTML5 RDP Web Client to be customized.
It would be great if we could use a PowerShell command to add a branding logo, set a branding color, configure an error logo, and update privacy links. For example, we might do something like: Publish-RDWebClientPackageBranding ` -Type Production ` -BrandingLogoPath "C:\Branding\companylogo.png" ` -BrandingColor "#0078D4" ` -ErrorLogoPath "C:\Branding\errorlogo.png" Having this kind of flexibility would make it much easier to customize the RDS HTML5 RDP Web Client.
Azure Virtual Desktop for Guest User / B2b Identity
All of our external customers have their own AAD / Entra ID and wish to not manage multiple identities. As we present our applications via AVD, it requires them to have a separate identity in our tenant currently. AVD should support guest accounts from another tenant to be able to sign in. Currently, per the documentation and per the ticket I just worked with Microsoft support: Azure Virtual Desktop doesn't support external identities, including guest accounts or business-to-business (B2B) identities. Whether you're serving internal commercial purposes or external users with Azure Virtual Desktop, you'll need to create and manage identities for those users yourself. Please continue development to allow guest accounts that have been invited into a tenant to sign in to AVD machines. Thanks!
Host Pools session hosts list
Large number of session hosts (1700+) is difficult to handle. Following suggestions would help: Allow to customize the the filters on the different columns Filter on Power State Filter on Health State Filter on user (with wild cards) Allow to export in CSV with filters applied Today, the CSV export exports all the VMs whatever the filter It is a workaround of the lack of filters on different fields Thanks for reading
Windows App for MacOS: Remove thumbnails
I connect to hundreds of devices using Remote Desktop Windows App, and do not want or need a thumbnail/icon/preview when the Remote Desktop Windows App device list is in List view. I also do not want or need a multi-column view while in List view. There is no evident way to remove the clutter within the GUI.Frequent AVD Deployment Failures
Since June 2024, we have experienced occasional failures in AVD deployments. While most deployments succeed through adding session hosts to the host pool, there are instances where the deployment fails. Given this situation, we would like to request a change in behavior to reduce the burden of recreating AVDs when deployment fails.
Challenges in Tracking AVD Host Pool Usage Over Time
One of the biggest gaps in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Insights today is the lack of historical usage tracking for host pools. Organizations that want to analyze long-term trends in AVD capacity—such as user growth, resource consumption, and performance fluctuations—struggle to obtain meaningful data. The Current Challenge Right now, Azure Monitor and Log Analytics capture real-time session data, but getting a historical view of AVD host pool usage over weeks or months is complex and requires manual log analysis. Businesses need a native solution to visualize historical trends for: User session growth over time CPU, memory, and disk usage trends across host pools Login time and session responsiveness trends Capacity bottlenecks based on historical patternsSomething is preventing you from using Windows App right now.
After being auto-updated from Windows App version 2.0.327.0 to version 2.0.328.0, some of our users can't launch their Windows App anymore and get an error message says: "Something is preventing you from using Windows App right now." Since there is no way to control the update process, we could only let our desk users use MSRDC instead, as a temporary solution. For the frontline users, I could only pray that this problem will not take place until weekend. If any Microsoft person sees this post, please let the Windows App team know about this and fix this problem ASAP.About the Host Pool Session List
In the host pool, when the list of session hosts is displayed, the number of hosts above a certain number is not displayed until “Load more” is pressed. I would like this to be stopped. It is very inconvenient because I have to press “Load more” again and sometimes I cannot work due to the token packet limitation. In addition to the above situation, it is also inconvenient to have to check the host every time to check the last heartbeat time, so I would like it to be possible to display it in the session list list (other lists). (Similarly, we would like users to be able to arbitrarily select which items to display in the list.)
