Basic Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) - Remote App setup

This walk through shows you how to set up Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Remote Apps. This is a way to just publish applications virtually for users when they don't have a need for the full desktop.

Thanks for these AVD videos. I watched the Basic AVD Setup video as well and it was really informative. Great job.

Hello Robert, thanks a lot for this video. Made clear a lot of things. Do you if multiple users can access the same remote app simultaneously? For example lets say I have published Photoshop as a remote app, will 2 or more users be able to use it simultaneously?

Great vid, the auto create in azure for AVD doesn't work, this tutorial worked perfectly! Thanks.

this was changed 2-3 months ago as Microsoft Enforcing a preferred application group type now only allow either desktop or remote apps but not both!

Great video, Robert, you saved me a lot of time. Are workspaces required to access a RemoteApp? I'd like to link directly to the RemoteApp if possible.

Thank you for the great content @RobertCrane. I've one question - Can we remove the Login Prompt which comes every-time I try to access any application?

[jonnytaunton]

Thanks very much for this video. Question - If we have an application which calls another application from within, how would this work? For example, application A launches application B (like opens Excel or Adobe Reader, or something) - what would happen here? If we publish application B, will it work, or do you not think it will?

Thanks for the gr8 video. I have a questions. how to add/access some 3rd party App from Remote Apps sections. Suppose i have App and i want to use it in AVD as a Remote APP then how to include that App under Add Application window????

Thank you!! Question: In your example of (Word, PS ISE) RemoteApps, are these leveraging the Cpu/memory from the 2 VMs that you have spunup in your host pool?
If you open your 2 remoteApps, and in parallel login to your desktop, will you be able to see Word and PS ISE processes running in the task manager? Thanks in advance

Robert - Thanks for this great content. I followed your steps exactly and still got this error: Oops, We couldn't connect to the seesionDesktop, Sign in failed, check your username and password and try again. Please advise. Thanks again.

Thanks for the explanation! I want to give access to 5 users, About the licence, is all covered by the Azure subscription? or do I have to buy license for remote desktop access?
Thanks in advance!

hello Robert, thank you for your guide. Can a remote app and desktop session app groups be behind the same host pool with 2x AVDs within the same workgroup? I can see clearly that behind your test environment it can but now (in 2024 at least be it a new thing or not) I cannot have both types presented within the same host pool/workspace, its either one or the other. Moreover, in the host pool there's a preferred app group type option that forces you to go towards one or the other but not both as you see to have it in your presentation. My host pool type is "pooled", thank you!

Hi Robert I tried using the same method but whenever I try to connect in rdp I get sign in failed and I am using the right credentials do you have any suggestions

[balajidevaraj]

can we add multiple remote apps on a single hostpool under application group we know that if we have a desktop on a hostpool we cant add another desktop on hostpool is the same rule applied for remote app?

[pureredlogic]

Would it be possible to setup RSAT using this method as well ?

[fbifido]

is it possible to setup an on-premise Microsoft Windows 10/11 Pool VDI with Office 365, Teams, OneDrive, Intune management, endpoint security, Best Practices using MS RDS with AAD single-sign-on /w FSLogix user & office profile
say for 25 to 50 users ????

[robwellesley]

Can more than one user run the application in a remote session?

[alonsoundesign]

Where does save data get stored? How would you export this data if you had to send a saved notepad file?
