Introduction

At the beginning of December, Bart Roels and I hosted a one-day workshop update on our Technical Deep Dive about the Windows Virtual Desktop Spring 2020 edition for all West-Europe partners from Microsoft. We started the day with a Presentation about all the changes and upcoming features for WVD. In the afternoon, we hosted the updated Hands-on Labs.

Presentation content

During the presentation, we touched & demo-ed this topics:

• MSIX app attach using the Azure Portal (detailed explanation)
• Azure Image Builder
• Start VM on Connect
• Microsoft Endpoint Manager
• HTML5 microphone redirection
• Azure Monitor for WVD (WVD insights)
• Screen capture protection
• RDS Shortpath
• other updates

Hands-on labs updates

These were the updates in the labs:

• Updated PreRequisite Tasks: DNS, Powershell core, Azure NetApp
• How to Connect: add multiple accounts to the WVD Client
• Create a custom image using Azure Image Builder
• Use an external image (build by myself)
• Updated the creation of WVD using the Azure portal & ARM Template
• Updated the configuration of WVD using the Azure portal & Powershell cmdlets
• Create and use Azure NetApp files as the File Service for FSLogix

The idea

Bart and I made the decision to make the entire Workshop available online (again 😊), to everybody and to make it open-source!
This way, you can do it yourself, at your own pace, at the office with your co-workers.
But more importantly, you can also contribute! You can make changes, add topics or idea’s so I (or the community) can make those manuals.

The workshop

You can find the entire workshop, with slides, video, links, tasks, everything, right over here:

As you can see, Bart made an aka.ms shortlink, to make it even more easy for you to find it.
