Collect and query Graphics Data for Azure Virtual Desktop connections – Now in Public Preview
Graphics data logs for Azure Virtual Desktop are in public preview! You can now set up the diagnostics table in Azure Log Analytics and collect graphics data for your Azure Virtual Desktop connections. The graphics data table generates information whenever end-to-end delay and dropped frames percentages fall below a healthy threshold for Azure Virtual Desktop. This table helps administrators understand factors across the server, client, and network that could be contributing to slow or choppy experiences for a user. Set up To start collecting graphics data, you’ll need to ensure your Azure Virtual Desktop host pools have diagnostics enabled and that the Connection Graphics Data Logs Preview table is selected. You can check and modify these settings in the Azure Portal: Visit your Azure Virtual Desktop Host Pools in the Azure Portal. Select the host pool where you’d like to set up network data, then select Diagnostic settings. Select Edit setting, or +add diagnostic setting if you don’t have a diagnostic setting already. Select allLogs or the individual categories you would like to collect. Confirm Connection Graphics Data Logs Preview is selected. Select a destination (Log Analytics workspace for Azure Virtual Desktop Insights users) Save and repeat for other host pools. Sample queries You can run these sample Kusto queries in the Log Analytics query editor. For each query, replace alias@domain, start_time, end_time, VmName, or HostPoolName with the information you would like to search for.

AVD DomainTrustCheck errror
A Domain Trust Check error appears in the AVD host pool. This error occurs hepatically, and when you restart a virtual machine, the error disappears or occurs without it. To verify the error, we checked the event viewer and the error 0x29 KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED appears with event ID number 3. The AD connector server has the same event log continuously. We are currently in the process of AAD synchronization with the AD server. Please help me with how to solve it.
Mouse pointer disappearing over Word/Excel/Outlook in AVD
Hi We are seeing a strange issue on a bunch of session hosts where user over certain apps cannot see the mouse pointer in their full screen AVD sessions. Session hosts are running Windows 10 22H2 up to date (well to February B week release); user client up to date, I am not aware we had user ever report this prior to completely rebuilding a new host pool last autumn for the AppReadiness crashing issues. From what we can tell this only seem to happen with Microsoft Excel, Word and the Outlook compose window, the mouse pointer basically becomes transparent as you can't see it so it makes it hard to select text or cells accurately. Clients are mostly a mix of HP and Lenovo PCs micro PCs running Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 23H2 Enterprise on Intel 8th to 12th Gen CPUs and AMD Ryzen Pro CPUs with integrated graphics. Does anyone else see this or any ideas what might be causing it?
Teams not working in Windows 11 AVD + FSLogix
I am currently setting up and testing a Windows 11 AVD environment for future use, but I am having trouble with getting Teams to work properly. When a user logs in for the first time I am able to log into Teams. When keeping it open for a couple of minutes the client will start having problems, like crashing, restarting, staying on the "Waiting on Teams" screen or just showing a full white Teams application window. When signing off from the AVD Session Host and signing in again Teams is not working either anymore. I have found out that Teams appears to be working fine when I exclude the user profile from using FSLogix. This is not a solution however. The problem seems very similair to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/671639/teams-for-vdi-amp-fslogix.html, unfortunately the mentioned registry key is already present. Further information about the current setup: Image: Windows 11 Enterprise multi session Applied VDOT: https://github.com/The-Virtual-Desktop-Team/Virtual-Desktop-Optimization-Tool FSLogix: tested with versions 2105 and 2015 HF_01 Teams: Latest version installed with ALLUSER=1 and in combination with AVD Optimisations (WebRTC) I am very curious if anyone else has experienced problems like this.
AVD full screen on multiple displays
We are using the display RDP properties as per the attached screenshot. When AVD session is launched, it goes into full screen across all displays attached to device. When full screen is exited, it goes into single display mode. However, from that point onwards, full screen stays within single display and only way we can go multi-display again is to disconnect and reconnect the session. Can this behaviour be changed so that user has the flexibility to go full screen across all their displays and single display mode and vice-versa.Announcing FSLogix 2201 hotfix 1 (2.9.8171.14983) has been released!
