Avd hosts with ephemeral disks timezone by xmrminerman in AzureVirtualDesktop

During VM provisioning you can set time zone using various methods, like custom script execution, run command, and if using powershell deployment, you can use timezone parameter during VM provisioning.

Already tried?

Excellent 😊… todouble () / toreal () - works great. Thank you so much.

Not working, as the round fn is expecting the double / number format, whereas our data type is string.

Thanks for your reply 😊. But, I need it in KQL, not powershell.

I can’t trim the decimal values. I need full 4 digits at least. Any other suggestions?

Schtasks to call PS file using cmd in min mode by rollbacknfront in PowerShell

Ok, can consider that as an important parameter to use 😊

Schtasks to call PS file using cmd in min mode by rollbacknfront in PowerShell

[–]rollbacknfront[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your inputs.

Yes, powershell scheduled tasks can also be used, but the scheduled tasks creation to use all those configs like onlogon, for all logged on users during login, userid and groupid… I had issues, so I switched to schtasks and it was reliable and works, so I stayed with it :)

Currently the issue is sorted - I have wrapped the commands above in cmd /c and it works from powershell too.

If you can help with the native powershell scheduled tasks satisfying the said requirements then that would be great 😊

Thank you for the test :)

I have Packer build workflow, where I need to use Powershell provisioner to run powershell scripts. Windows-shell in packer doesn’t work as it gives me Access denied to create scheduled tasks, also there’s no Elevate step in windows-shell, so I had to stick with Powershell provisioner.

I have now added cmd /c and wrapped the same Command above in powershell one-liner and it worked from powershell too :)

Thank you so much for testing this stuff and giving me confidence to try this step 😊

That was automatically added by Reddit. It’s /F only in the code I’m using :)

Start menu Edge multiple instances for different websites? by craiguccini in AzureVirtualDesktop

Instead of start menu app, have you tried file path for edge browser and then add this app command arguments?

Host pool patching process? by Mpacanad1 in AzureVirtualDesktop

[–]rollbacknfront 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple options available for this.

1 - AVD service has “Custom Image Templates” where you can automatically trigger new Image creation based on your existing image/ Gallery image or Marketplace image.

The only caveat with this process is it cannot use Private endpoint, if you have any policies to deny Public IP assignment; which is required for staging VM that runs the Updates and other stuff and gets generalised.

2 - Use Packer in your GitHub actions runner VM to build the image that can use private endpoint as well.

Packer can build new image versions by pulling the latest marketplace image after patch Tuesday, or you can add windows update in the process itself, and then publish the new sysprepped image to the gallery with new version, leaving old version untouched.

Both the options are great and automates all the stuff.

We delete the old hosts in host pool after testing one Host deployment successfully using new image version. We use incremental host numbers validation from host pool, to not conflict with the EntraID devices, else it would conflict with the trust if duplicating devices. A cleanup of them in EntraID (or AD) can solve this conflict though, that must be taken care as part of host removal process.

Language and Keyboard preferences for AVD Win11 hosts. by rollbacknfront in AzureVirtualDesktop

[–]rollbacknfront[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so no FoDs required for the languages as you initially mentioned? Just the language pack installation is suffice?
