I Removed All The Apps in AVD...Here's What Happened

[@AzureAcademy]

App Attach: The Most Powerful Tool in AVD You Are Probably Not Using Yet...So give it a try and let me know how it goes! 😁😁

[@ctxshekhar7979]

MSIX App Attach seems works for basic applications like (notepad++/chrome etc.. some basic applications) but when it comes to custom applications or database applications, msix app attach need improvement. As I have tested with Bloomberg application and this is the error i am receiving You have insufficient rights to run the Bloomberg Professional Terminal. Would you like to launch a tool to set up proper permissions? Click Yes to run the tool or click No to exit.

[@imranhussain9446]

Hi Dean - But i guess it does not support office or some other critical software as per my last testing. Does it support now? Any limitation yoy can highlight

Man - I've had limited success with MSIX :( It seems like it has a limited use case but I might be missing something. The office apps (click to run) can't be packaged, I think - or they couldn't previously unless that changed. About half the apps I've tried to package using the tool you're using fail to work properly, like most Adobe apps. And apps that need to interact with other apps, or databases on the host are problematic inside a container. I hope I'm just missing something obvious because app attach is an awesome concept! Thanks for your video - I look forward to each of them!

[@AzureAcademy]

Office is a billion+ lines of code app suite, so that is not a quick win ☺️ and since office is ALREADY included in the AVD image… Are the other apps not working in app attach or in the MSIX packaging?

If I create the MSIX packages and update them on the host pool, and then I find that the application has a bug preventing users from accessing it, is it possible to revert to the previous version?

[@AzureAcademy]

If you created an update package then you still would have the original And if you instead created a new version with the updates inside it, you would still have the original as well…so either way you are ok

It looks great, but there are some issues with older program, i made 10 MSIX package, but only 8 of them worked, after plenty of troubleshooting I had to go back to using a golden image for it to fully work.

[@AzureAcademy]

That’s why you should watch my upcoming video on how to find MSIX packages from the software venders…so you don’t have to repackage them…stay tuned!

[@romsi70]

Great stuff. As I understood correctly, MSIX app attach is currently not supported for Entra Domain Services. are there any plans to support it in the near future or if it is in the pipeline for development?

[@AzureAcademy]

Not at this point. Entra DS needs to support syncing devices…and since they don’t, no app attach support

[@gladmanc]

Is there a process to unmount a VHD from a host? I've gone through the portal and set the package as "In-active", removed the app etc. Nothing seems to unmount the VHD unless you either reboot the hosts or go into each one and selectively unmount them. Also, if an App is removed, how are the shortcuts removed from Profiles? In my testing, I can see a bunch of blank app shortcuts that don't work.

[@AzureAcademy]

Why do you NEED to unmount from the host? The blank apps are the removed shortcuts…the issue is the apps native uninstalled isn’t removing the shortcuts from all the profiles

[@otakuguild5603]

Hello Dean, Can I use powershell to create the cert for me ? Will that Certificate work or do I need a Enterprise CA for this ? When creating app attach I am getting an error saying it failed expanding app attach package.

[@AzureAcademy]

Sure can! Here is the doc on creating it with PowerShell and where to store it on the hosts learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/app-attach-overview?pivots=app-attach#msix-and-appx-package-certificates

[@KRS-uo6rg]

Followed this all the way through to App Attach and when I click create I get a useful error of Failed to create app attach 'undefined'. Great video just not working for my app sadly.

Great Video! Quick question: After I added the packages to app attach, it somehow does not display in the overview of app attach, although I can add the packages to an application group, any Idea why? Maybe a preview bug? Really looking forward to the video about getting .msix files directly from the app vendor! Thanks

I see You have created Admin tools app attach application how you created it ? I have a requirement to create that when it launches it needs to prompt for other credential - admin credential to use it.

[@AzureAcademy]

If I understand what you are asking for...you want an App Attach App to open and prompt for credentials...as far as I know, this is NOT Possible today. The app is assigned to a user directly with a specific credential. I don't know how you can automatically launch it to prompt for different credentials. Why not just assign it to the correct user?

[@barrythomson5232]

Hi Dean. Do you have any experience in leveraging MSIX to work with FSLogix? I'd like to retain user settings that, for example, write to %appdata%. Maybe this would reuiqre redirecting this to the real %appdata% outside of the VFS?

[@AzureAcademy]

Yes I have used App Attach with FSLogix many times. The %AppData% folder is part of the FSLogix profile already. But I think the issue you are having is wanting to save some kind of app data or setting from the App Attach app. Example you change to app theme to dark mode Then you log off and log back in and the app reverts to light theme. This is happening because the App Attach images are READ ONLY. So you can’t make changes to the app at all. If you want a change you need to repackage the app or create an update package with those changes. Does that answer your question?

[@barrythomson5232]

@@AzureAcademy Thanks for the reply. Yeah that makes perfect sense. I tried using PSF fix to redirect to the local %appdata% - which output it to AppData\Local\Packages - a location not supported by FSLogix.. however, getting closer.. and plan to try outputting to a location which is supported for FSLogix roaming.

[@AzureAcademy]

Cool, let me know how it goes

[@barrythomson5232]

@@AzureAcademyGot it working by using the PSF to redirect the VFS AppData to local AppData, and then a shutdown script to copy this out to an FSLogix supported profile location on closing the application. Then on launching the application, another script restore it. Seems a bit convoluted, but it works.

I'm hoping this works better than the previous iteration of AppAttach (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2HMl42dZ7x5a7M). If it does, then it's a great way to separate app operations from host operations which will make updating/deploying hosts/images much easier! Looking forward to the next videos! Thanks!
