How to find out the DesktopVirtualization API being used and how to update the API?

Syed Harith Zaki 120

Hi,

Recently, I received this service alert which states "Action required: Update to DesktopVirtualization API v. 2024-04-08-preview or API v. 2024-04-03". I do not understand what API they are referring to and how to check the current version being used. Furthermore, I am unsure on how to update the version. Please advise me on this matter.

Thanks,

Zaki

Hi @Syed Harith Zaki

The alert you received is about the Microsoft DesktopVirtualization API, which is used to manage Azure Virtual Desktop resources via REST API.
Reference : https://github.com/Azure/avdaccelerator/issues/721 If you are using the REST API to deploy/manage your AVDs, here's a step-by-step guide to help you understand and update the API version:

Identify the Current API Version

To check the current API version being used, you can:

Review your code: Look for API calls in your codebase that interact with Azure Virtual Desktop. The version is usually specified in the API endpoint URL, such as https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/{resourceType}?api-version={apiVersion}.

Update the API Version

To update to the required API version (v. 2024-04-08-preview or v. 2024-04-03), follow these steps:

Using Azure CLI

Install or update Azure CLI: Ensure you have the latest version of Azure CLI installed.

Login to Azure: Use az login to authenticate.

Update the API version in your scripts: Modify your scripts to use the new API version. For example:

az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/{resourceType}?api-version=2024-04-03"

Before fully deploying the updated API version, test it in a development or staging environment to ensure compatibility and functionality.

Refer to the official Microsoft documentation for detailed information on the API changes and additional guidance

Can you supply a better detailed descriptions of this process, like for example you say;

Check your Azure portal: Navigate to the Azure Virtual Desktop resources and check the API version in the settings or configuration sections.

Where is the settings and config setting does this show? I can not find it. Microsoft should really start supplying resources on this as this seems like a major issue with AVD and to have a deadline of March 2025 is just really bad planning with virtually no support. Tutorial's with screenshots, videos with examples, etc, etc should all be provided. The lack of support on AVD is since the disaster Sept updates has been very disappointing. Microsoft please start supplying the required resources to complete these changes. Thanks

I can't find the necessary points that you are talking about

Is there a complete instruction that indicates how I can do this?
