Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)

Scripts

I have a collection of scripts I have created to assist with the deployment and configuration of AVD.

New-avdFSLogixGPO.ps1

PowerShell script to create an Active Directory (AD DS) Group Policy (GPO) to configure FSLogix profile persistence for Windows session hosts.

Parameter	Description
target_ou_DN	Disginguished Name (DN) for an OU to link the GPO
gpo_name	GPO Display Name
gpo_description	GPO Description

Example:

.\new-avdFSLogixGPO.ps1 -target_ou_DN "OU=MyOU,DC=contoso,DC=com" -gpo_name "FSLogix Configuration" -gpo_comment "FSLogix Configuration for use with Azure Virtual Desktop"

The script is preloaded with the basic registry settings to enable FSLogix. The settings are stored in a JSON array inside of the script. Additional settings can be added.

        "value" : 1,
        "valueName" : "Enabled",
        "type" : "DWORD",

        "key" : "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\FSLogix\\Logging"
    }
]

New-avdFSLogix_registry
