Windows 10: Windows 10 2004 Multi-Session - WVD

Having an on going issue that is just driving me crazy


We have 4 GPU WVD VMs running version 2004 using Stamdard NV32s size and the NVIDiA extension installed for the Tesla card setuo in device manager. All 4 have the same issue.


On boot the machines are fine. We have RemoteApps running from them and users can access them. We as admins can RDP into the VMs fine. After some time, we get calls that users cannot open Remote Apps. On testing the RemoteApp it hangs trying to load. If you click on the dropdown to see thw login, its hung at Preparing Windows. Trying to RDP into the VM gives a black screen on login. You can bring up task mgr witb CTL-ALT-END and open things like device manager and cmd prompt / etc from there, but the screen stays black.


We also have OneDrive running on the VMs that should start on login, but of course never does due to black screen. OneDrive is also set to run with RemoteApps using the RailOnce registry key and setting key to start onedrive /background.


I have no clue what is going on here. Is it OneDrive failing to start with the remoteapp or login? Is it graphics driver? Stuck and in a bind. Cant keep waiting for users that are already logged in to finish up and logout then reboot the VM to get it working again...


HELP!!

WVD Spring 2020 Session Host creation error

Hi everyone,

Recently tried provisioning a new workspace and host pool - no issue. In a separate step wanted to add a new session host but getting a "The template stored for VM's creation is invalid".
Never seen that before.

New desktop.virtualization service is registered in the subscription. RBAC role on RG's and resources are inherited top down and doing provisioning with CREATOR role. We're still in the process of enabling the proper FW rules as per MS Requirements.

Anybody who can shine some light on this? I've deployed a few successful WVD environments before with WVD Fall 2019 and in my lab had no issues with Spring 2020 issue thus far. But this is for a client and like I said haven't come accross this before

 

SMBv3 multi sessions problem

Hi

Some Windows 10 PC connected to the Dell EMC NAS server, and I found some windows 10 PCs do not run multi-session to download or upload the file from the Dell EMC NAS server.

I check my windows 10 settings support 4 ConnectionCountPerRssNetworkInterface, but do not understand why some times my windows only run 1 session to the NAS server.

Also, are there any commands to check the multi-session status in the command line? I use get-smbsession but did not get any output.

Thank you very much!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
