After seeing how to deploy Windows Virtual Desktop, in session mode, we will see how to deploy applications.

Using the basic image, I only have the basic applications to publish. If you want to deploy custom applications, you will need to create an image and use it as a base image for your deployment.

To publish an application, you must first create a group, with the following commands:

$brokerurl = "https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com" Add-RdsAccount -DeploymentUrl $brokerurl New-RdsAppGroup FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -ResourceType "RemoteApp" Get-RdsAppGroup FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 $ brokerurl = "https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com" Add - RdsAccount - DeploymentUrl $ brokerurl New - RdsAppGroup FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - ResourceType "RemoteApp" Get - RdsAppGroup FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD

You can then retrieve the applications that can be published, with the following command:

Get-RdsStartMenuApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" 1 Get - RdsStartMenuApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group"

To publish an application or applications, use the following commands:

New-RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -Name "Internet Explorer" -AppAlias "internetexplorer" New-RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -Name "Task Manager" -AppAlias "taskmanager" New-RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -Name "Paint" -AppAlias "paint" New-RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -Name "Wordpad" -AppAlias "wordpad" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 New - RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - Name "Internet Explorer" - AppAlias "internetexplorer" New - RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - Name "Task Manager" - AppAlias "taskmanager" New - RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - Name "Paint" - AppAlias "paint" New - RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - Name "Wordpad" - AppAlias "wordpad"

You can verify that the applications have been published:

Get-RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" 1 Get - RdsRemoteApp FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group"

You must then assign this group to a user. Be careful, for the moment, a user can be assigned to a single group and this user must not have MFA:

Add-RdsAppGroupUser FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP-WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" -UserPrincipalName <a href="mailto:florent.appointaire@florentappointaire.cloud">florent.appointaire@florentappointaire.cloud</a> 1 Add - RdsAppGroupUser FlorentAppointaire FLOAPP - WVD "RemoteApp Application Group" - UserPrincipalName < a href = "mailto:florent.appointaire@florentappointaire.cloud" > florent . appointaire @ florentappointaire . cloud < / a >

By logging in with this user, you can see that applications have been published on the portal:

Or from the application:

Windows Virtual Desktop is still in Preview, so some features are missing. However, in a near future, WVD should be a serious competitor to Citrix on Azure.
