The outlook teams add in feature to add appointment is now gone? I only see the share to teams, is there a way to restore it?
Is it possible to get this working in an Environment that connects to remote physical PCs?
I didn't think it was that hard to understand British English. There are so many accents. However, it is not one of the most difficult accents for a foreigner to listen to :-)
Nice video Neil, yes always been a bit of a thing to deploy apps to Multisession, I've some pools with 60 apps and have put all apps in Image which Iv'e always kept off domain or Entra Before Sysprep (as you say so many reg entries etc if you join). As long time Intune Admin have done post build deployments but exactly as you describe its the "is it ready yet?" question of apps coming down when they feel like it, this doesn't matter on a normal day but its when you have an issue and are deploying new images in an emergency you really want those apps on there quickly. Only other thing is Scripts and remediation's in Intune and set them to run very often. Also as long time SCCM Admin sometimes deploy with that, But best bet for all this, NERDIO
Great short man. You really learned to use capcut to make videos. Awesome, but this level of editing is not enough if you really want to grow your channel. Am open if you are interested to know more about it.
Good info Neil. Would mention that premium ssd is also chosen due to having a higher SLA. Enjoy Orlando sir!
Forgot about that, thanks Gareth! Hope you are doing OK :)
I see others have asked for this but can we get a version for the admins who dont have nerdio. Can someone create the nerdio steps by hand so we can get this working? The title of this video was misleading as it doesnt mention anything about nerdio
You can find what you need here - nmehelp.getnerdio.com/hc/en-us/articles/26124360018445-How-to-Use-Azure-Files-with-Entra-ID-Joined-Method-for-AVD, you would just need to modify that with your environment. So the script to run you could use something like Azure DevOps, packer, terraform, Azure VM Extensions or anything like that. But i hear ya and I will do a video on how to do it soon without Nerdio :)
Hi Neil, thanks for the video, it really helps people around the 40mph mark not feel alone. Can you share where you're doing this degree? Is it OU?
Glad you found it useful Mark. I am doing it via Liverpool University. It's this one here - online.liverpool.ac.uk/programmes/msc-cyber-security/
the new blue screen feature is the best part of this update
It's interesting to see how the blue screen feature has become a talking point! Hopefully, it’s more of a helpful tool than a headache for everyone.
I am 45 in IT, no degree. It does not concern me at all. You are just afraid because you are getting old. Don't waste your precious time... It's running out fast by the way...
I'm not MASSIVELY concerned, I would just rather have it then not have it if I were put into a position where I had to look for work. And yes i get your point about time running out but I still have 20 years left until I retire so spending a few hours a week for the next 2.5 years i think is a good investment in my time.
In the UK you can do MSc in 1y Sir.
If you are doing it full time yes, but I am doing this part-time on top of a pretty demanding job, as well as all my RUclips content. I expect they new few years are going to be interesting lol
Would be interested to hear what you did to stay one step ahead, especially in your earlier career.
Normally just going above and beyond. Coming into work an hour earlier (usually at my desk at 7am) and leave a little later, do the advanced certs instead of the basic ones, blogging, presenting at events, anything to get yourself out there and put yourself infront of the average person when it comes to applying for roles. It realy does work :)
In 2024, I was hoping for Entra ID native access to Azure Files shares for use with fslogix and file shares. It would be my one wish for 2025 🤞
I may or may no be able to confirm its coming, but all i am going to say is what this space!
That is the only thing I’m waiting for!
This has actually already been publicly confirmed by the storage team at Ignite last year!
@@Sam-A1998 OK great! wasn't sure if it was public knowledge or not :)
can you show STEP 3, 4, etc..: for normal azure admins? (non nerdio)
can we just modify the registry manually to store the access info?
You can see the script which you need to run here - nmehelp.getnerdio.com/hc/en-us/articles/26124360018445-How-to-Use-Azure-Files-with-Entra-ID-Joined-Method-for-AVD - all you need to is to make sure thats run each time a host is created. You can use Azure DevOps or any other method you want to use to ensure its ran each time
@@virtualmanc After adding the script, what is next. You did several other nerdio steps. If you cant create another video, can someone provide a link to documentation to get this working?
@2:26 - Please, can we not do PUBLIC Access for storage? can you do a video with using PRIVATE ENDPOINT?
Thanks for your feedback! I'll definitely consider creating a video on using private endpoints and addressing public access concerns. Stay tuned! For my customer production environments I ALWAYS use private endpoints, but this is just my homelab environment which has no data worth stealing on it!
Great video Neil. I done my masters a few years ago and I think at the very least definitely helped prop up my CV. I’m currently Contracting and I’m a bit of a cross roads whether I should finally go perm. What sparked your decision to go perm? Do you have any opinions on the current state of the contracting Market
It was IR35 which basically stopped me from contracting and I wanted a bit of stability. I contracted for 20 years so was constantly away from home. In relation to the contracting market I would say its not in a good place. Rates are low and decent contracts are like gold dust. I have a few friends who are still contracting and they are REALLY struggling to find work. Hope that helps!!!
@ Thanks.
Not a regular tech video but this is really interesting and gave a good insight on why degree is must. In the next non tech video, can you talk on career transition for EUC admins. for example, the cloud is growing rapidly and a lot of Prem (Server, System center, DBA etc) specialists are finding hard to find jobs in cloud, considering less administration efforts in the cloud tech as compared to on prem tech. Is it better to switch to Security or programming side of tech? I was an SCCM admin, now working on Intune, recently I had to learn, or my job required knowledge on Powershell, AAD, AVD etc > I would love to see your insights on this.
Thanks for the comment! I think the skills required for cloud are actually quite similar to onprem skills, there is a lot of overlap, but it just requires a different way of thinking. I personally think those people with onprem skills actually have a head start because they generally have a better understanding as to how everything is plumbed together under the hood so can fix stuff more easily. But it's a great video topic and definetly something i will do a video on!
cool
Glad you enjoyed the content Mike!
May want to run the test again with the page file assigned to the c drive. It seems like if the page file was assigned, you’d have similar slow down without crashing.
Interesting, I may just give that a re-test, thanks for pointing that out :)
Hi Neil, I have an issue with New Teams -AVD Slimcore Media optimized, after updating my team's application, the one-way audio is not working and also getting the error message "permission to access your Mic" I did enable all microphone settings but getting the same issue. If i reset and checked the team optimization version is showing like this "AVD media optimized" and also tested few teams calls, i didn't get any pop up message and two-way audio is working fine in the AVD. Could you please let us know what is the issue ? How to fix this issue in Cloud PC AVD. Thanks
I have seen this on a physical device also so I think its a teams thing
please assit how to install application on multi user session host. if session host installed google chrome will be accessible from all multi users. Azure AVD application group which scenario will be used and what is remote app it web used launcher
Hello, the instructions in the video will show you how to install an application on a session host. If you install google chrome on a session host, yes it will be available to all users. If you just want to publish google chrome then you can use a RemoteApp instead of a published desktop.
@@virtualmanc I am not clear about Remote application,remote app application group Desktop application group looks connections and workflow
@@unkownuser2320 I created a video on this a while back - You can check it out here - ruclips.net/video/vrIUUGimfkw/видео.html
We started this year with our first AVD infrastructure and configured it Hybrid-Joined and managed with Hydra. We install the apps with PSADT via Hydra, like this we can reuse the same PSADT we use for the Intune managed Notebooks. We use a VM as a Golden Image where we install the Apps. This is working just fine for us. I'm wondering why Microsoft doesn't recommend to have the Golden Image On-Prem AD Joined or Intune joined, do you know more about this? I was thinking to have our next AVD infrastructure with W11 multisession Sessionhost's which are Entra ID joined and have the Golden Image also in Intune, where we update the Image with the needed apps.
Yeah its something I have looked into. The reason why its not recommended to join your image to AD or Entra ID is because it tatoos settings in the registry which can cause problems. Generally though AD Domain Join is OK but Entra ID is more of a problem because when you join the image to EntraID its difficult to clean up the settings. I do however have some scripts which can fix this so I may do another video about that :) If you want a copy of the scripts just drop me a message :)
Hey Neil, cool stuff!! That would be great if you can do that
Are you managing your AVD session hosts via Intune? Interested to hear your feedback!
Very useful as always!
Thanks, appreciate the comment!
Windows app doesn't have refresh button but azure remote desktop has refresh button.
It does now!! You need to update to the latest version first :)
This is now supported in the latest client
This does not help!
I'm sorry to hear that! Could you share more about what specifically didn't help?
@@virtualmanc Well, you didn't really configure anything but that 1 setting. There's more stuff to do according to microsoft docs
the wordpad is gone? wtf i use that for school assignments. They are trying to force people to buy a license for office -_-

Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Intune will never be as fast as SCCM in terms of receiving policy, caching and installing apps. More so larger apps with dependencies.
Agreed! Its 2024 and we are going slower, not faster lol
Why do you not use CIM instead of VHD? Mounting and unmounting CIM files is faster than VHD files. CIM also consumes less CPU and memory than VHD.
I am only using VHD as Nerdio doesn't support CIM, yet.....:)
Do you use epehemeral disks? If not, why not?
I really appreciate your efforts! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thanks for your question! To send your USDT from your SafePal wallet to Binance, you’ll need to copy your Binance USDT deposit address and then initiate the transfer from your SafePal. Just make sure to double-check the address before sending!
You cleared all my questions. I was thinking that I would learn Nerdio in a series. but now One video is enough, thanks sir, love from Pakistan.
I'm so glad to hear that the video was helpful! If you have any more questions in the future, feel free to reach out.
Great video as always. Do you know when v6 will be in general relase?
Thanks for watching! As for v6, it should be in general release soon, but keep an eye on the official Azure updates for the exact date!
I understand what you mean. I'll try this type in my Azure Batch. 😊 Thanks!
Thats definetly a good use case! You will get better performance and hopefully the takss will complete quicker and therefore you should get reduced cost :)
Hi Neil, have you tried benchmark the new Fmv6 series also?
@@Brophis I haven't but that's not a bad shout, I may do that as my next video :)
Thanks for doing the test! We can all use it when speaking with customers. :)
Thanks Tony!!
Interesting stuff Neil. I see that none of the V6 SKUs currently support ephemeral disc. Is this temporary whilst they are in preview do you think? Would be great to be able to use that fast local NVME storage.
@@NeilSpellings I think so, as ephemeral disks are just local storage. I can see 1 SKU which says it supports it, but that SKU is not available yet. It will be interesting to see as it's local NVME storage, so it should be super quick! The SKU which is says it supports it is learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/memory-optimized/epdsv6-series?tabs=sizebasic. What is even more interesting is that SKU is the Cobalt processor which is a ARM64 Processor. For these, you can have an entire core per vCPU, so in theory, they should be super quick for AVD workloads! Now that will be an interesting test result :)
@@virtualmanc is anyone actually doing Windows VDI on ARM yet?
Thanks for sharing, great stuff! We use the D16as_v5 currently for our pooled Hostpool with max. 20 users on it.
What VM SKU's do you use in your Azure environment??
good video.
@@camikaze6671 thank you!!
I run Linux instead of Windows 11,i solved the problem.
That's great! But not everyone can run Linux as their primary operating system, that's why this is a great solution
How can I contact you I want to cooperate?
Hello! What do you want to co-operate with?
@@virtualmanc windows keys, can you give me your email address?
Really great video...😎
Thank you for the great feedback :)
Brilliant! Thanks mate.
Glad you like it Blair! Hope you are well :)
Any particular reason why you chose the offline installer when installing versus just using -p? We have a 2000~ user AVD environment leveraging Nerdio as well. We just migrated to Windows 11 last month + New Teams and have been having sporadic issues with users logging in and Teams not loading at all/being available to use. Sometimes signing out and back in works, other times an FSLogix profile reset works, other times neither of those work and we have to manually download it within the user's session.
I love you! Thanks for the video
I'm glad you found the video helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
this has zero configuring in the video. dont waste your time on this
You must have watched the wrong video then because there is definitely a configuration setting in that video :)
@@virtualmanc but only configuring RDP is not enought as fas as I have read on MS articles isn't it? And in case we use Microsoft Entra hybrid joined (having our own AD synced with Entra connect) then what more do we need to configure? Do I need to configure also on my DC?
I dont use Nerdio is this still possible?
Hey Steve, yes, it's possible, although more configuration is needed. You need to create a script to run every time the host starts up to mount the file share using the storage account keys as authentication :)
@ thank you for amazing quick response. Will this be officially released by Microsoft that this can be done? I have quite a few clients that have Entra DS and AD servers just because of AVD and would love to removed it and go full Intune cloud only
@@virtualmanc Possible to create video that shows the setup without Nerdio?
compression is good, but i just want the bar on the left and better ui
Ah, the eternal quest for the perfect UI! Maybe we should start a petition to bring back the left bar-who knew it was a lost artifact of Windows history?
