remote application assignment with remote desktop application

Question

User have the assignment to Remote desktop application which works fine as user is able to login remote desktop. Now, i have assigned some remoteapp to the user like notepad and paint.

After user login to remote desktop client, still only desktop app is visible while other remoteapp icon is not visible.

here, if i remove desktopapp assignment then user is able to see remoteapp (notepad, paint) but now desktopapp is already removed.

how can both type of remote application (desktop app and remoteapp) be visible at the same time?

Answer 1

This is expected (by design). Azure Virtual Desktop does not support assigning both a desktop application group and a RemoteApp application group from the same host pool to a single user or group. When you assign one type, it overrides the other.

Details are available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/preferred-application-group-type

To allow users to see both the desktop app and RemoteApps, you would need to create separate host pools:

• Assign the desktop application group to one host pool (e.g., HostPool1).
• Assign the RemoteApp application group to a different host pool (e.g., HostPool2).
• Ensure that the session hosts in both pools are configured as needed to support the same users.
