Hi Guys, I hope you are all well. Recently I set up these policies for my AVD env: Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions - Disabled Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions - Disabled Disconnect remote session on lock for legacy authentication - Disabled Disconnect remote session on lock for Microsoft identity platform authentication - Disabled The result is that the after some idle time session is not completely disconnected but AVD is being locking out, and that is good but - from lock screen I can't log-in again - I received info that the password is incorrect. In event viewer I see: Event ID 4673. From that place I can disconnect session, restart machine or add additional keyboard layout -> after I click "Update" I am being moved to Desktop, but still poor solution. Password is definitely correct, account is not being locked out/disabled. All machines are Entra ID Joined. Any ideas?

Problem Several users have commented and posted on different networks about the error that appears when adding virtual machines to their host pool, the error is when the VMs want to join to the AD. The first thing we need to know is that if we add or create a new hostpool (as in my case), the deployment will tell us Azure that everything is correct, that is, as if the machines have joined the AD. Here I show the deployment with everything correct. Now if we check the status of our hostpool machines, we will see that it tells us the total number of VMs and the option of which one we can connect to and which one we cannot. In my case we see that we can supposedly connect to one and not to the other. When testing the connection, it fails on both machines. This is normal since if we check the health status of both we see the following. Basically it tells us that there is a problem joining the domain with the VM. Solution Below I show the solution that has worked for me, from different tenants, different subscriptions that had the same problem. We are going to go to our subscription and in it, in the setting section, we are going to click on Resource provider as shown in the following image. Next we look for the provider "Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization" We select it and then click on "unregister" Now what we are going to do is re-register, that is, we click on "register" Confirm that register is correct again. Now we deploy AVD again and add the VMs we need to our Hostpool, and in this case I have chosen Enter ID to do the Join *you can select your preferens) Validate de new deployment As we see here, the deployment has also indicated that it was correct, so we are going to confirm it. Here we can see that we already have the machines ready for the session. I hope this helps you solve the problems you are having with VMs and hostpools.963Views1like7CommentsHosting Desktop Applications in Azure
Hi, I have an Desktop Java Application. What are the solutions available in azure to make desktop applications available to users. Which needs to be accessed by multiple users. Currently below is the solution that we are using We have the package in Bastion servers. Bastion servers are accessed via P2S connection. We have SQL database hosted in VM and only app server can access it.106Views0likes4CommentsDynamic RDP Properties Based on User's Location and Device Type
Hello! I am working with a client that currently uses Citrix SmartPolicies to update the RDP property of the remote machines based on if a user is connecting from a personal machine (not a client provided machine) and if the user is connecting from outside of the network (personal and client provided machine). So if, for example, they connect from a personal machine, the user cannot map printers, local drives, or have copy/paste functionality. I write this to ask if there's a possible way to do this in Azure Virtual Desktop. We've looked at Liquidware's ProfileUnity solution which can update these RDP properties based on AVD Session host properties like WMI classes, registry values, and environment variables. However, the only real discernable value we could find at the moment is $env:CLIENTNAME. We are looking for a secondary value to base filter on as the CLIENTNAME could be hacked pretty easily. Looking to see if anyone has had success in this type of scenario for a highly regulated company and what was your solution? If you used a third-party service, what was that service? Thanks!108Views0likes2CommentsBulk Start/Stop of Azure Virtual Desktop Session Hosts in a Host Pool via Single Trigger
Hi Community, We manage an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pool with a large number of session hosts (e.g., around 100), and we’re looking for a way to start or stop all session hosts in bulk using a single trigger—preferably via PowerShell or an API. Currently, we use a scheduled script that loops through each VM individually to start or stop them, but this approach doesn't scale well. We’ve noticed that the Azure Portal provides a one-click option to start or stop all session hosts in a host pool, and we’re trying to replicate that behavior programmatically. What We’re Looking For: A PowerShell command or script that can start/stop all session hosts in a host pool without iterating through each VM. If PowerShell doesn’t support this directly, is there an ARM template, Azure CLI command, REST API, or any other method that can be triggered from PowerShell to perform this bulk action? Any official documentation, community guidance, or examples from someone who has achieved this would be greatly appreciated. Goal: To simplify and optimize our automation by using a single command or API call to manage all session hosts in a host pool, rather than looping through each machine individually. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!126Views0likes3CommentsWindows App, pasting files hangs OS
Hi all, We’re experiencing an intermittent but frustrating issue when using the Windows App to connect to our Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Issue: When users attempt to copy and paste certain files from their local machine to the remote session, the operating system on the remote side hangs. The mouse still moves, and the clock continues to tick, but: -Start menu becomes unresponsive -Taskbar icons stop registering clicks -Desktop icons are frozen -No error messages appear This occurs sporadically and seems to affect files of varying sizes and types — 100KB up to 20MB. What we've tried: -Updating the Windows App to the latest version -Verifying clipboard redirection is enabled -Using MSTSC, and the Remote Desktop Store App. These work but don't support Session Pools, Remote -Apps, or SSO. -Using RemoteDesktop_1.2.6228.0 (MSI Install) Has the same issue as Windows App Environment: -Remote app hosted in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) -Users connecting from Windows 10/11 clients -Windows App version: 2.0.419.0, 2.0.420.0, and 2.0.500.0 All ideas welcome - is a major disruption to our business processes.1.2KViews0likes25CommentsAVD that are based in the US are somehow being provided with a UK ip address by Microsoft
AVD that are based in the US are somehow being provided with a UK ip address by Microsoft. We came to know this because some external clients are sharing documents to some of our users. They have a conditional policy to block access outside US and our users are being restricted. Came to know that the AVDs IP are somewhat being provided with a UK ip address by Microsoft.94Views0likes1CommentMultiMonitor Support for AVD Webclient
Hello, We have users using HP ThinPRO to connect to AVD. They normally use AVD client but that seems having latency. However user confirmed once they use AVD Webclient via browser https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/ its working pretty fine. There is only one challenge as they can use more than one monitor. Is there any option to use more than one monitor with AVD webclient?

Hi everyone, My English isn’t perfect. I need some assistance with an issue I'm facing when trying to connect to my Azure Virtual Desktop using SessionDesktop. I’ve set up two host pools: One for RemoteApps (which is working fine, and where the session host is currently located) Another for Desktop access, which initially worked but has now started giving me the following error: "We couldn't connect because there are currently no available resources. Try again later or contact tech support for help if this keeps happening." Has anyone encountered this issue before or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help130Views0likes1Comment
