Running session host virtual machines shutdown state in hostpool
Hi all, I want to share this quick fix regarding hostpool session hosts in 'shutdown" state even when Azure VMs are running and are accessible by administrators (via RDP or remote access software): 1. Uninstall all agent, boot loader, and stack components 2. Remove the session host from the host pool 3. Generate a new registration key for the VM 4. Reinstall the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent and boot loader https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-agent#step-1-uninstall-all-agent-boot-loader-and-stack-component-programs
Embedding remote desktop web client in IFrame
Hi, we are currently working on a custom solution for a customer that builds upon Virtual Desktop. We have built a "cloud hub" website where the user manages everything from their profile, storage, viewing costs and dashboards. The customer would like to embed the Azure Virtual Desktop web client inside this website (i.e. not opening a new browser window/tab). Is this possible today? I tried creating a simple test.html with only an iframe tag and the page (as shown below). See attached image for result: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>FSLogix Blog Update: FSLogix release changes and Windows multi-session updates in Azure Marketplace

Hi, This is for Windows Cloud PC. We are trying to restrict access to our user by conditional access in Azure, but it isn't working according to what restriction we have in mind. The plan is: > Access only on Windows Cloud PC (should not be able to access it any device without loggin in on Windows Cloud PC) and can access outlook on the web, teams on the web using Microsoft Edge on the Windows Cloud PC environment. Created a conditional access and the result is, it restricted from accessing outlook on the web, teams on the web on other devices without signing on to Windows Cloud PC but when on Windows Cloud PC, the user can log in to WIndows Cloud PC but when accessing outlook on the web, teams on the web using Microsoft Edge browser, it is also restricted. Thanks Mv
Applications not launching with latest AVD update
Hello there fellow users - first time poster. I also have an open ticket with Microsoft with this particular issue. I feel like this is something obvious I'm missing here though and any ideas would certainly be appreciated. My org utilizes AVD for connecting to a AVD pool of terminal servers for end users. Within that pool are application groups and clients assigned to the groups, although application groups by and large have the same clients. Here's our typical workspace: The issue we are currently having, is that with the last 2 or 3 recent versions of Remote Desktop, and only on SOME computers, is that the applications will not launch properly. The application will begin to launch for a second or so, and then stop and disappear. This is the last thing an affected user sees before the launch box disappears (AVD will remain open): As a work around, we've had affected users/workstations remove the latest version and install version 1.2.2688.0 where this behavior does NOT occur. There are no relevant windows event logs from what I can tell. All affected users are using Windows 10. Here are my AVD RDP Properties in Azure: Thank you!

Hi All, We have a fair few AVD's and in general all is working OK. However today we noticed one of the session hosts is just not getting any users. We are using breadth load balancing - and this one session host has 0 users, the other all have 10-15 I've rebooted the VM, logged into it manually - cannot see any problem - so looking for any ideas of what to troubleshoot as to why one session host is just not taking on users
