One of the advantages of RemoteApp is that we are always working to improve it. Every time we do, we'll announce those changes here.
So many changes! The team has been very busy in June:
- Redesigned the Azure RemoteApp landing page - check it out!
- Updated the software in all the images available as part of your subscription.
- Made improvements to hybrid collections, including forced tunneling support and checking IP subnet size before trying to create the collection.
- Discovered that the * wildcard doesn't work for webcams. Instead, you need to specify the instance ID or GUID. We'll be updating the redirection information to reflect that.
- Made it so you can add custom antivirus software to your image when you create a template image from the Azure gallery.
We've got more changes rolling out in July, so we'll be back with another update soon.
There have been a number of additions (and months) since we first created this topic, so this list cheats a bit and is from the beginning of March through May. Check out these new features:
- Automate everything - Azure RemoteApp now has cmdlets in the Azure PowerShell module.
- Create an Azure RemoteApp image from an Azure virtual machine. Makes uploading your custom image to Azure much quicker.
- Use an Azure VNET instead of a RemoteApp VNET to connect your corporate network resources to Azure. We've updated the hybrid collection instructions to walk you through creating an Azure VNET (it's Step 1).
- Speaking of VNETs, check out the new guidance around VNET size limits and limitations.
- And speaking of limits - just what are the service limits and defaults?
