I mentioned in a previous post that we were experimenting with Azure Virtual Desktop.  One of the things that I need to be able to do is launch from a web page.  We have figured out how to do that using this info:  Uniform Resource Identifier schemes with the Remote Desktop client for Azure Virtual Desktop (preview) | Microsoft Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

But you have to look up the Workspace ID and Application ID.  You come up something like this:<\/p>\n

ms-avd:connect?workspaceId=1638e073-63b2-46d8-bd84-ea02ea905467&resourceid=c2f5facc-196f-46af-991e-a90f3252c185&username=user@contoso.com&version=0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is great, but you have to use a script to get the IDs.   Not hard, but you have to pass a log of information in, and I am lazy.  I thought it might be worth writing a script to pull all the app ids for the Workspace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you run this bit (after authentication and defining variables):<\/p>\n

$workspace = Get-AzWvdWorkspace -Name $WorkSpaceName -ResourceGroupName $WorkspaceRG<\/p>\n

$workspace.ApplicationGroupReference<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You get a list of the App Group references that looks something like this:<\/p>\n

PS C:\\Users\\Michael> $workspace.ApplicationGroupReference
\n\/subscriptions\/<SubscirptionID>\/resourcegroups\/<AppGroupResourceGroup>\/providers\/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization\/applicationgroups\/<Application-Group-Name><\/p>\n

\/subscriptions\/<SubscirptionID>\/resourcegroups\/<AppGroupResourceGroup>\/providers\/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization\/applicationgroups\/<Application-Group-Name><\/p>\n

\/subscriptions\/<SubscirptionID>\/resourcegroups\/<AppGroupResourceGroup>\/providers\/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization\/applicationgroups\/<Application-Group-Name><\/p>\n

\/subscriptions\/<SubscirptionID>\/resourcegroups\/<AppGroupResourceGroup>\/providers\/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization\/applicationgroups\/<Application-Group-Name><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You will get all the AppGroups associated with the Workspace.  You can break that up and get the app ids with the following:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

$SubsrciptionName = “<YourSubscriptionName>”
\n$WorkSpaceName = “<WorkspaceName>”
\n$WorkspaceRG = “<WorkspaceResourceGroup>”<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n


\nConnect-AzAccount<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Set-AzContext -Subscription $SubsrciptionName<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

$workspace = Get-AzWvdWorkspace -Name $WorkSpaceName -ResourceGroupName $WorkspaceRG
\n$workspaceID = $Workspace.ObjectID
\n$appGroupReference = $workspace.ApplicationGroupReference<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Foreach ($appGroup in $appGroupReference) {
     $AppGroupParts = $appGroup -split “\/”
     $apps = Get-AzWvdApplication -ApplicationGroupName $AppGroupParts[8] -ResourceGroupName $AppGroupParts[4] | Select-Object Name, FilePath, ObjectId
     foreach ($app in $apps) {
         Write-Host “”
         Write-Host “*********************************************”
         Write-Host “To launch $($app.Name) use the following:”
         Write-Host “ms-avd:connect?workspaceId=$workspaceID&resourceid=$($app.ObjectId)&username=<your@domain.com>&version=0”<\/em>
     }<\/p>\n
