Hey Dean,
I'm new to Azure virtual desktop as I was into Citrix Virtual Desktop for last few years. You explained all the different elements of powershell scripts like image build, JSON file, VM creation and housekeeping very well. I loved watching all your other videos related to AVD. Looking forward to watch videos related to Nerdio and Devops pipeline.
Thank you very much mate and I hope you all the best.

Guaranteed Dean and AA quality as always. Informative, efficient and entertaining.

[robb]

Very excited for this and also very excited that I learned about the Desktops in the Cloud channel (which I didn't know about) so I can subscribe to that, too!

[heivio]

you presented difficult process into simple way to let us learn. thank you.

Hi Dean, were you able to create a Windows 11 GEN2 image with Image builder, all our tries so far got stuck with the vm not proceeding with the build. Very hard to troubleshoot:( Please let me know...Thanks

[prasantchettri]

Wonder if there is bicep version of the script for image builder instead of ARM template.

[haraprasadnayak]

Great Dean. Have been waiting for thin since a while. Hope it will be all on AIB+MSIX

[ericagbayani]

Is it possible to use azure image builder as an imagining platform for physical laptops? Or is this mainly used just for VWs?

[johndoucette]

Great video. I am working through this in Azure and when creating the Image template resource I get error "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'api-version' I have been searching online for solution to this with no success. I see other tutorials using the same command. Do you have any idea why I get this error?

[mosksky]

great training Dean! just one thing would be good to mention, if u need to pickup any packages from SA which is behind PE . Specify vnet where the image is going to be crated
"vmProfile": {
"vmSize": "Standard_D2_v2",
"osDiskSizeGB": 127,
"vnetConfig": {
"subnetId":
}
},

[shahidable]

Well explained.. I also wait for videos.. great stuff

[thedarkwonder]

I have a question for anyone to help me with. In the section where we Submit the Template my output is an error. It's saying the value are Null for various parameters in the command. Any reason why that may be? I assume it is referencing the .json file we previously edited and saved. If I type out the parameters rather than just have $<parameter> Then I'll get an error back telling me that a "property id '' at path '' is invalid. Expect fully qualified resource Id start with or I'm not sure where to change this but, I aready input the subscription ID and path where the galleryImageID is under Distribute. Not sure where else I can change it or why the command doesn't work to begin with.

Good session. I want to have Default User Profile to be customized, it doesn't survive capture image stage. New VM build from new image always have clean Default User Profile. Because of this, part of WVD Optimization Script settings related to default user will be lost. So I have to run it after new VM deployment and apply my default user customizations.
Is it possible to prevent Azure image capture process from resetting Default User Profile?

[haraprasadnayak]

Hi Dean. While testing this in our POC environment I was able to complete all the steps and could see the staging RG getting created but the image build process is failing with an error: Operation timed out. This happens because the build and image distribution have exceeded the `buildTimeoutInMinutes`. Please review the build customization.log, and examine for long running operations. If expected, consider increasing the `buildTimeoutInMinutes` property in the Image Builder Template.



Initially I thought it could be because of the customization that we are trying to do during the image build. So removed the customization block from the armtemplateWVD.json but still having the same error. Not sure where is the issue?

[deepakmore]

Great videos sir, I am a bit new to this and struggling to add Azure VM extensions using builder. We need to add extensions like anti malware, what would be the best way to do that?

[domannicette]

Can we use this service to provision a VM for WVD service? Thanks for your feedback and most of all the videos you put out there!

[christianibiri]

Awesome, this is great! just for curiosity, this service is based on Hashicorp Packer?

[mahendiranr]

Great session....It's helpful lot to me., ,

[Mallins]

He Dean, I want to give you some feedback. Because I like this style of how you do this video. I think this is the best format from the videos I have seen. Explaining something on the portal, then going to powershell. And doing the full session we can see you, and we get your recommendation.
But one an additional question. In a lot of videos I see that we have to run the WVD optimization script after the sysprep like a start script. But on this video we say we want to include it on the image build process. Does that mean we doing it twice?

[SLeversen]

Great series! Can Azure Image Builder be used to maintain physical client images?
