Windows App - RDP channel crashes when printing on a redirected canon printer
Hey team, I would like to know, if anyone else struggles with the following scenario: A canon printer is installed on a local client. The user is working in the AVD environment. The printers are redirected into the AVD-Session via "printer redirect". Since the users are migrating to the new "Windows App", the AVD session breaks as soon as the user is printing on a redirected Canon-Printer. When printing on another printer, there is no issue. Also: With the "Microsoft-Remotedesktop" Application, everything works as it should. A Microsoft ticket is already raised. I would like to know if there are other environments, which are encountering the same issue.
Single-Sign On
After troubleshooting an issue for a customer, we determined that the prerequisites for enabling SSO at the AVD host pool level is not strictly enforced when a user goes to execute the SSO workflow from MSRDC or the Windows App. Meaning, that if an administrator does not enable the -IsRemoteDesktopEnabled flag on the Service Principals "Microsoft Remote Desktop" and "Windows Cloud Login" respectively. Setup: Deploy Entra ID Joined session hosts to a host pool and enable the "Microsoft Entra single sign-on" RDP property to "Connections will use Microsoft Entra authentication to provide single sign-on" or update the RDP connection string with 'enablerdsaadauth:i:1'. Result: User will not receive the 'Windows Security' dialog box to access the session host with their Entra ID credentials. Caveat: Be aware that to sign in with Entra ID credentials, minimally, the host pool RDP settings must contain 'targetisaddjoined:i:1'. Microsoft states this is going away and blending into 'enablerdsaadauth:i:1', which also enables SSO. It seems a bit odd of a move in my opinion and having two separate RDP properties makes sense if a company does not want SSO. But it is in alignment with Microsoft's push for passwordless authentication. For the Microsoft AVD team, why does this behavior exist and is it on the roadmap to be fixed if it's a known gap?
