Great video, yet again. Thanks!

Glad you liked it, what other topics are you interested in?

We are in the process of migrating from Citrix to AVD and with this comes a new base W11 Mutlisession image. My current plan is to use the custom image template to make our base image and then open it up to install roughly 10 other apps used in our org and use FSLogix rules. Alternatively, I could script those installs out and have it as part of the custom image template but idk if I trust that process fully. I could also use app attach but I feel that it adds a lot of complexity with certs and storage. In your opinion, what process do you think would be best between those options? I'm most comfortable with opening the image and manually doing things since that's sort of how we do our Citrix image but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

It depends on the apps and your time to deploy new hosts. I like to Automate everything for the big and complex apps: I’d install them in the custom image template , then app attach for the others Watch thus 3 part mini series to make app attach simpler too kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKXdg5yQdq90ftksi=J_uAfnZ1EBwTP4kd

@@AzureAcademy Ya I've watched most of your videos so far. Great content. Thanks! I plan to automate as much as I can over time... but we have limited time and I am starting with ZERO Azure/AVD knowledge so it's been... fun.

[@AzureAcademy]

in that case I'd just get AVD running as fast as possible...so you can start learning it. Then start on the custom image template for your next task, which you can update from your existing image. then app attach

@@AzureAcademy Ya I've been in our sandbox environment for a couple weeks playing around. Have a working template/image for test some stuff. Production tentant is coming soon so I'll have to start actually building a real image here soon. Your vidoes have been very helpful!

Great to hear! If you need any help as you go, ask questions here ☺️

My only problem with published apps is that they take forever to get into the like of Outlook etc. For me it's super laggy.

[@AzureAcademy]

With Outlook the slow performance is normally from your Exchange mode, if not cached and you don’t have OST files then everything you do communicated back to the server. If you change those items Outlook performance gets A LOT better.

We have been moving AVD to Azure only joined so no more Group Policies.

Cool, you can manage them with Intune, watch this 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5m9fKuAm5J8o7csi=wG0FlI9Zuvgbmf7g
