You need to update to either the latest preview API version or 2024-04-03. If you update to API version 2024-04-03, we recommend testing it first to see if it fits your needs as 2024-04-03 doesn't contain all the functionality as these APIs listed. To retain all functionality, you need to update to latest the preview.

Additionally, the following APIs will no longer be supported, and you need to update to 2024-04-03 to retain all functionality:

  • 2022-07-05-preview
  • 2022-09-01-privatepreview
  • 2022-10-14-preview
  • 2023-03-21-privatepreview
  • 2023-10-04-preview

If you're using the PowerShell module for Azure Virtual Desktop, you need to update to either the latest preview version or 5.4.0. If you don't update the PowerShell module, you receive an error.
