MSIX AppAttach FSLogix Profile issue between packaged app versions
Has anyone experienced the following scenario: Application (PowerBI) packaged as MSIX and delivered via App Attach: Package Name: PowerBI-2.104.702.0.MSIX Delivered via App Attach to AVD FSLogix Profile created, and Application user data stored path: \\CLIENTNAME.file.core.windows.net\fslogix\$GUID_username%\Profile_User_name.vhdx\ Profile\AppData\Local\Packages\PowerBI-2.104.702.0\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop (or similar) End user can access application, app profile data is retained to FSLogix and works as expected between sessions, retaining app settings etc. Now, a new version is required: Package Name: PowerBI-2.104.941.0.MSIX Delivered via App Attach to AVD FSLogix Profile created, and Application user data stored path: \\CLIENTNAME.file.core.windows.net\fslogix\$GUID_username%\Profile_User_name.vhdx\ Profile\AppData\Local\Packages\PowerBI-2.104.941.0\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop (or similar) So, between the different versions of the same Application, I am not able to access the roaming profile application data from the original package, forcing my users to have to re-configure the application afresh for the new release. I could just repackage the new version using the EXACT SAME name, but this makes it impossible to differentiate between packages, and also does not meet any version control naming conventions. Has anyone come across this before, and has anyone discovered a viable solution? Thanks Nick

MSIX AppAttach Storage and Performance
Hoping someone has had some experience with this... Planning out a new WVD environment utilizing MSIX AppAttach. We will have a large number of applications packaged and made available via AppAttach and the corresponding permissions to access a certain app. My questions are: 1. Has anyone setup a large AppAttach environment like this before? If so, how did things work? Were they smooth in terms of Performance? 2. For Storage of the Apps, did you use Azure Files or Azure NetApp Files? What tier did you use for throughput? 3. If you used Azure Files, did you use Standard Storage (HDD) or Premium (SSD) storage and the throughput that goes with each? 4. If you used NetApp Files what Tier did you use? Basically looking for some suggestions / recommendations on what to use if setting this up for a large number of applications that will grow over time. I should also add that all user profiles are setup via FSLogix using Azure NetApp Files Premium Tier (64 MiB/s per TB). Thanks!

MSIX AppAttach - Disk Space on Host VMs
When attaching an MSIX App via AppAttach to a host VM, the attached application shows up as its own drive and doesnt take up available space on host VM correct? Trying to decide what size of disk on the host VMs for an AppAttach pool if our users profiles are done via FSLogix and apps are using AppAttach. Seems like I could go with a small disk size for the host VM. Is my assumption correct?

WVD and AppAttach - App Assignments
Have a question concerning WVD and AppAttach. I have a test Host Pool / Session VMs setup with MSIX Package added and the App shows up in my start menu when I login to the VMs, which is all well and good. My question is how do you break up MSIX Packages / Applications so only certain groups of users get them added when they login? Right now, you add the MSIX Package to the Host Pool, then go to the Desktop Application Group and add the MSIX applications there, give them a display name and are finished. You add the users / groups that can access the DAG under Assignments. Doing this would allow any user that had an assignment to the DAG access to ANY MSIX Application added to the DAG. Want to be able to have different MSIX Applications / Groups of Applications available to only certain groups of users and other MSIX Applications / Groups of Applications available to a different group of users in the same pool. Looking at the various documentation and videos its shown many times how you can have your sales team getting certain apps added and your finance team (for example) getting different apps added when they login. How do you differentiate?

Error configured app-attach
I am working through https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/app-attach guide, and getting a PowerShell error when running this line: $asTask = ([System.WindowsRuntimeSystemExtensions].GetMethods() | Where { $_.ToString() -eq 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[TResult]AsTask[TResult,TProgress](Windows.Foundation.IAsyncOperationWithProgress`2[TResult,TProgress])'})[0] It's just a generic null array error, but I am not sure why I am getting it or how this Windows class works. Can anyone help? Cannot index into a null array.
