Recommendations on a simple cleanup script for initial avd deployments to kill unnecessary services, etc? Powershell preferred.

Hi, have you ever had an issue with the user profile picture in the start menu on AVD multisession? I just found this entry on the Microsoft Tech Community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/idea/azurevirtualdesktop/bug-with-profile-picture-on-avd--windows-11-multi-user/4180592

Receiving a 1001 error when trying to sign in to different office apps. This seems to be an issue every so often. Happens in AVD and Citrix. Any known causes recently?

Since the Patchday we can't deploy new images created by the multisession marketplace image with m365 apps. The Sysprep failes while removing Microsoft.OfficePushNotificationUtility AppX from the local user. Does anyone else see this error?

Did someone see a major increase of userdisk transactions after moving to Windows 11? We moved two customers to Windows 11 23h2 since then Onedrive / Microsoft.Sharepoint reads and writes the disk the whole time. Each of them moved from like 60 GB Data Ingress a Day on Azure Files to over a Terrabyte daily. Profiles are hosted on FSlogix, the newest FSLogix Release doesn't make a difference.

Is anyone seeing an issue with pools that are showing unassigned desktops in the UI while, via the Azure API, the users are assigned?

Hi, I have a quick question regarding USB device redirection on AVD. I was wondering if it is possible to auto-enable USB device redirection for a specific device class GUID? The device marked in yellow should always be redirected to the AVD session. Thanks!

Hi, I would like to have your advise. Microsoft told me to use "custom image builder" only with Securtiy Type = Standard. that information was more than 6 month ago, when I start a POC. Now I would like to know if it still true ? when I check in Azure VM Image Builder overview - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Learn I,m quite confus Hi, I would like to have your advise.

Hi all - I'm just wondering if anyone here uses Nerdio for AVD management. Would you recommend it over native Azure tools? I'm conscious that it makes managing the environment easier, however, I'm also aware that it comes with a price tag and it reduces the ability for our team to learn transferrable IaaS skills.

Hi everyone. What is the best practice for assigning "VM user login" role? Is it a good idea to create resource group for each host pool, put there session host VMs and assign roles to those resource groups?

Hi everyone, we occasionally have the issue that the AMD GPU on a Windows 11 VDI stops working with the error code 43. We are using the Standard_NV16as_v4 size with the latest driver from this source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/n-series-amd-driver-setup#driver-installation-1 Does anybody know if there is a fix for this issue?

I'm kicking the idea around of migrating from on-prem RDS to Azure AVD (about 200 users).. currently 6 RDS server 2019 hosts w/ 10 vCPUs' and 64GB RAM in each across 4 local esxi hosts. We currently use FSLogix on prem as well. Just testing this out and creating a test host pool, etc.. any tips from those who have done it? I'm worried about cost, for one. Also, would love to know how to get FSLogix profile working with it

Have a host pool configured in AVD using fslogis on azure storage. How do I access the storage directly to reset profiles, etc. when needed.

Hi guys, are there any antivirus exception recommendations for session hosts besides the fslogix-related?

Do you guys recommend using the ODT for AVD or should I use the built-in installation that MS pushes to new machines? Teams and Onedrive I plan to use machinewide installers, just wondering about the other apps in the suite.

Anyone with AVD able to get me screenshots of the Host Pool RDP Properties for a default Pool. Trying to see if this is the latest view.

Does Azure reinstall office apps on AVD after it's sysprepped and provisioned? I removed (new) outlook and once provisioned it's present again. The teams plugin for outlook was also installed on the image and it's not present on the hosts in the pool now.

Yeah I think it does, I had to make an Intune Configuration Profile to remove the New OutLook Shortcut

Any suggestions on the teams plugin? It was present on the image.

Hey, Recently , while spinning bulk vms(100+), through Azure virtual desktop portal or pipelines , vms resources are creating but next steps domain join and AvD agent install and registration failing ..

hello, all I new in avd and i follow the azure academy to configure app attach. That works well with notepad ++ and vlc media plyaer but I have an error with ToadforOracle 17. I'm using the vhdx appattach (cim not working for me). Someone can guide me to resolve the issue ? thanks in advance.

Hello folks, do you have mac customers? I got the feedback that they have trouble using there mac to access avd because of the different keyboard layout. Do you have any solution for that except using the on-screen keyboard?

Hi everyone, I've created msix applications via msix tools that I've transformed into vhdx. The vhdx software works fine from one hostpool but not on another. Here is the error message (see screen). I've checked the IAM and other permissions. In both cases I have access to the application directory. For me, this means that the disks are mounted correctly (diskmgmt.msc confirms this). However, on a host pool using the same applications, I get this error. Could you give me an idea? Thanks for your help. I'm using "AppAttach"

Are you mounting the VHDX yourselves? Or did you use the Add-AppPackage cmdlet?

Anyone had any issues with black screens in avd multisession? New users attempted login and were met with a black screen.

Hi guys Having a torrid time with Auth for different scenarios Regarding AVD, entra joined machines with cloud only identities... Same pool of machines with hybrid identities Should the above scenario work or do we need sep pool with hybrid joined machines?...we are getting a login loop for hybrid identities trying to login here What are the supported scenarios Secondly, azure files with kerberos auth on same machines ...with both cloud only and hybrid identities, which one would work best as having issues with ad da auth as computer accounts are not syncing etc Thanks

Hi, Is anyone knows how to get AVD disconnections reports for all hostpools ? I am using below KQL query but it is not giving 100% accurate data.I observed few users has disconnections when I see from Insights but not found same user in Log Analytics with below query.. AVD insights has only top 20 disconnections, no helpfull.. If any one already worked on this that would be great help to me let user_failed_connections= WVDConnections //| where TimeGenerated > ago(2d) | where State =~ "Started" and Type =~"WVDConnections" | extend Multi=split(_ResourceId, "/") | extend CState=iff(SessionHostOSVersion=="<>","Failure","Success") | where CState=~"Failure"; let error_message= WVDErrors | where ServiceError == "false" | where ActivityType == "Connection" | summarize UserCount = dcount(UserName) by CodeSymbolic, Message, UserName; user_failed_connections | join ( error_message ) on UserName | project TimeStamp=TimeGenerated, UserName, Message, CState, ResourceGroup=Multi[4], HostPool=Multi[8],ResourceAlias, AVD_SessionName=SessionHostName, ClientOS=ClientOS, ClientWvdVersion=ClientVersion | order by TimeStamp desc;

Running a small pilot group in avd. These are persistent vdi and I have two questions. I can run PS against individual hosts. How do I run against multiple avd hosts simultaneously in the admin portal? Also, management does not want to use fslogix. I feel there will be a lot of administration overhead running this type of configuration. Are there any other concerns I should be aware of? Coming from citrix daas where I use fslogix.

Crosspost with #CKBVDG48H but hoping someone here may be able to help: I'm attempting to use this method of mounting Azure Files for a native Entra based AVD host pool. (https://nmmhelp.getnerdio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/15704855452045-How-to-Use-Azure-Files-with-Entra-ID-AADJ-Method-for-AVD) I've set "access network as computer account". But FSLogix will not use the share and reports [ERROR:00000035] LoadProfile failed. Version: 3.25.401.15305 SessionId: 2. FrxStatus: 31 (The network path was not found.). As the user I can easily browse the path of the Azure files and create/delete folder despite no custom credentials. I'm succesfully creating the SAS key in credential manager which appears to work fine. If I remove the "access network as computer account" I do see the FSlogix logs report invalid name or password so it appears to be trying as computer when configured properly. Anyone seen this? I'm stumped as everything but FSlogix seems quite happy to use the share. I can even create drive mappings etc. I also tried the similar config from https://blog.itprocloud.de/Using-FSLogix-file-shares-with-Azure-AD-cloud-identities-in-Azure-Virtual-Desktop-AVD/ without any success. - same behaviour. I also rolled back to an older FSLogix version but no luck either.
