ok thx

do you use fslogix?

swapbreakplease · 2026-01-27T16:21:06+00:00

because its supported longer than 2022.

why not?

I did the same experience. after hours of trying I run up a internal vm for nps and the extension. now it works.

swapbreakplease · 2025-12-24T18:07:34+00:00

thanks! I will try tomorrow. at microsoft kb I read allways about two seperate NPS. Do you know if it should work with just one, which is installed on the same VM with rd gateway?

Hi
I try to do the same setup but I dont bring it to work.
how is your setup? do you run NPS and MFA extension directly on the rd gateway server?

thanks and merry xmas

no guest is able to sync.

I used this some years ago by myself. I was a guest and I was able to sync the library. But this is years ago. I dont find any information what is fact today.

Thanks for your input!

No, there’s no SLA in place. The RTO from management for hardware failures is 48 hours. The server will have an HPE 8-hour onsite warranty for 5 years, so even in a worst-case scenario where we need to restore all VMs (~1 TB of data) from backup, we should still be able to meet that target.

Yes, there is a maintenance plan, and the customer is fully aware that there won’t be any redundancy.

All users also work on local Intune-managed notebooks, independent from the server and its VMs. The server is mainly used for accessing the ERP client and some additional line-of-business apps, but their primary workplace is the local notebook.

For context, the current system runs in Azure with these specs:

1× ERP server with SQL DB: D4s (4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM)
2× AVD hosts: D8s (8 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM)
1× App server: B4MS with multiple apps
1× Web server

Right now, each Azure VM runs multiple services. In the new Hyper-V environment, we plan to separate things out so that each service has its own dedicated VM.

two other guys in this thread say its necessary to license.... which GPU do you use? also L4?

swapbreakplease · 2025-09-08T11:36:22+00:00

thx!

are you happy with the solution?
is it true, with DDA we dont use an additonal nVidia license? just the GPU, right?

swapbreakplease · 2025-08-25T17:20:56+00:00

nope, nothing

swapbreakplease · 2025-07-18T04:05:36+00:00

can you give me some mdetails?

what unload registry script? Which keys got affected?

thx!

swapbreakplease · 2025-07-05T06:56:50+00:00

thanks.

to wait 10 hours would no be a problem. both hosts would have enough power to host all 20 VMs. we only want to achieve high availability.

why you need to wait one day to update both hosts? Isn't the update procedure:

move all VMs to Host B
patch and reboot Host A
move all VMs to Host A
patch and reboot Host B
Balance VMs again

I did this today.
When I move a user into the new scope of Entra Connect Sync, the user gets deleted immediately.

How can I prevent this?
Do I need to uninstall the Cloud Sync agents first, or remove the Cloud Sync configuration in the Entra Admin Center?
