Installing azure local os on a laptop
I don't know if it is possible but I would like to try installing azure local on a laptop that has a two terabyte SSD drive. it is an LG Gram laptop. the reason I would install it on the laptop is the laptop was damaged while being transported by an ambulance to hospital the laptop did they lowered the the gurney and the laptop was underneath and so the laptop was crushed into the shape of a 8th moon. if it is possible what I'd like to do is install the azure local os and then from the azure portal provision a Windows 11 operating system initially for testing purposes. if I can be successful at that then I would try installing Azure Local On one of several servers I have in my home that have multiple network cards I also have a bank of 56 public IP addresses So I think I have everything necessary but I'd like to start with the laptop any tips would be appreciated i've searched high and low maybe I'm just not good at searching but hoping somebody out there take a minute to tell me I'm parking up the wrong tree or maybe you can provide me with a link to a good article or just tell me what I need to do. In the end maybe I can use the laptop and it's drive for restoring data for insights or some or maybe have one BM running on it Anything I can do to use the on premise Hardware that I have would help from a cost standpoint. I am limited in what I can do as far as neurologically because of a spinal cord injury but that's not a crutch it's just an FYI. I'm pretty sure one of you is way smarter than me and way more experienced than I So thanks In advance we're taking the time to point me in whatever direction I need have a good afternoonSolved140Views0likes7Comments
Azure DevOps REST API - tag DeploymentGroups' target
Hello everyone, I am trying to setup a function in PowerShell to be able to set tags on specific targets of a deploymentgroup, and for that I am using this documentation page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/distributedtask/targets/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0&tabs=HTTP#request-body I created the request body as described in the page like bellow: { "id": 541, "tags": [ "tag1-backendWithDb", "tag1-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag2-backendWithDb-database", "tag2-backendWithDb", "tag2-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag3-blazor", "tag3-blazor-active-node", "tag4-yarp", "tag4-yarp-active-node" ] } Than I do the following command : Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri "$baseurl/distributedtask/deploymentgroups/$($DGid)/targets?api-version=6.0-preview.1" -Credential $cred -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType 'Application/json' But then I get an error like this : Invoke-RestMethod: { "$id": "1", "innerException": null, "message": "Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: machinesToUpdate", "typeName": "System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib", "typeKey": "ArgumentNullException", "errorCode": 0, "eventId": 0 } The problem is that the document is not specifying any parameter named 'machinesToUpdate'. What is it that I am missing here?Solved75Views0likes3Comments
Shutdown notification webhook unable to access token
I am trying to implement the AVD-Shutdown notification webhook from fortytwoservices on GitHub (https://github.com/fortytwoservices/AVD-Shutdown). It is getting an error getting the access token. The invocation log is: I am assuming it is referring to accessing the Exchange Online mailbox that I am sending the mail through. The webhook is using MS Graph API to send the e-mail. I have set up a system assigned managed identity in the portal for the function app. Using the values in Entra for the application, I set it up in exchange as follows: Any wisdom would be appreciated.

Container App - Dapr - Service Bus
Our app is running as Dapr enabled Container App in an Container Apps Environment using Dapr pubsub component for Service Bus messages. Our Service Bus is on the Standard plan without VNET integration. The built in Service Bus Firewall does not support ipv6 it just support ipv4, but the daprd sidecar try to access it over ipv6 and get "connection denied". I have tried to set DAPR_DISABLE_IPV6=true and DAPR_INET=4 environment variables in my container because Windsurf suggested it, but it does not help. Is there a way to force ipv4 for Dapr in Container Apps Environment? Or any other solution for our problem? Without setting "allow all networks" or changing to Premium tier for the Service Bus.Solved75Views1like3CommentsSending notifications with Azure Virtual Desktop Auto-Shutdown
We have several Virtual Desktops that are used during business hours. I know I can use the auto-shutdown feature to shut the VM down at a scheduled time at night to save costs. What I would like to do is notify the logged-on users (we use personal and pooled host pools) that their VM will be shut down in fifteen or thirty minutes and give them the chance to extend by an hour in case they are working late. I saw a webhook by fortytwoservices called avd-shutdown on github that may do what I want, but the documentation on implementing it is a bit unclear to me. Is there a solution, native or add on that would send notifications like this for me? Thanks, Eric.,Solved228Views1like11Comments

Hello Team, Microsoft has introduced multiple vault types, each serving different backup and disaster recovery needs. Below is a high-level differentiation: Recovery Services Vault (RSV) Supports Azure Backup (VMs, SQL, SAP HANA, Files) and Azure Site Recovery (disaster recovery). Offers backup policies, recovery points, replication, and failover management. Backup Vault A newer, streamlined vault designed for Azure Backup only. Supports Backup Short-Term Retention (Instant Restore) and Cross-region Restore. Primarily used with Azure Policy & Backup Center for better management at scale. Microsoft Continuity Center (MCC) A centralized disaster recovery hub in Azure. Integrates Azure Site Recovery (ASR) and backup services into a single pane of glass. Allows for failover, backup monitoring, and business continuity planning. Do we have any document talks about little deeper about the above topics.Solved420Views0likes1Comment
Azure Arc Gateway and Azure Arc Proxy
Hi, I had an internal discussion regarding the purpose of the Azure Proxy. Can the Azure Arc Proxy A) take over the communication of other VMs, servers or Arc Agents that cannot access the internet. In other words, the Arc Proxy is a proxy for other Arc Agents on other servers. B) or does the Azure Arc Proxy only serve as a proxy on the VM itself for the extensions installed on the same machine, thus simplifying communication of the individual servers over an enterprise proxy server and reducing the URLs that need to be whitlisted. I think the graphic can be misinterpreted https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/servers/arc-gateway?tabs=portal I would be grateful for a brief confirmation and clarification. Many thanks in advanceSolved164Views1like2CommentsEntra External Identities - Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect error
Hi there, I would like to add LinkedIn as an identity provider in my Entra External Identities tenant. We have proceeded according to the following instructions (Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect - LinkedIn | Microsoft Learn) and used the LinkedIn Well-Known Config Endpoint (https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/.well-known/openid-configuration). When saving the configuration I get the following error message in the EntraId portal: Custom OIDC well-known endpoint validation error: Error when deserializing response Required property 'token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported' not found in JSON. Path '', line 12, position 1. In the JSON provided by the LinkedIn Well-Known Config Endpoint the field 'token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported' is missing. However, according to the OpenId Connect specification, the field is optional. Currently I cannot add LinkedIn as an identity provider via OIDC in EntraID. Has anyone here already solved a similar problem? Thanks!Solved226Views1like3Comments
Service Bus: Ip has been prevented to connect to the endpoint
Hi Since yesterday we are facing issues with our Azure Functions (ASP) connecting to the Azure Sevice Bus (Standard, not in VNET). This was working before without any issues and since yesterday it is not working anymore on all our environments so I wonder if there is any general issue. Message: Put token failed. status-code: 401, status-description: Ip has been prevented to connect to the endpoint.For more information see:Virtual Network service endpoints The Azure Functions are communication via Nat Gatway and the public Ip address is set in the IP Filter List of the SBN. As far as I deactivate the IP filter to allow any traffic, it is working again. I also can see, that the used outbound Ip is exactly the smae which is set in the ip filter list. We are susing the AMQP protocol.

Hello, The Connect Sync server synchronizes multiple domains to the same tenant. We have followed the migration approach outlined in the article, for one of the domains: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/cloud-sync/tutorial-pilot-aadc-aadccp How best to remove that domain configuration from the Connect Sync without potentially impacting hybrid objects? Is it just as simple as removing the domain through the Connect Sync wizard? It looks like I do not have an option to disable that domain's sync configuration temporarily.Solved268Views0likes7CommentsSpecify which Entra ID Sign-in logs are sent to Log Analytics Workspace
Hi, as the title says I am curious if its possible if I can limit which login logs are sent to a Log Analytics Workspace. We currently have a couple of service accounts in use that generate a high amount of traffic (an issue being worked on separately) and would like to exclude the logs from these specific users from being sent to LAW.Solved77Views0likes1CommentAVD RDP printer redirection settings not honored
Has anyone else noticed their users getting local printers being redirected for last couple of weeks? Despite having client RDP settings set to not. This results in GPO deployed default printers being overwritten. We have noticed this on two host pools (10 and 11 SH OS and client OS). We reapplied the settings and even manually in Azure AVD settings but still happened. You can manually change it in web client and it does honor that, but all our users either use the client or Windows App. In the end I had to add this reg key to the Session Hosts via GPO to force it to not redirect. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services You can create a new DWORD (32-bit) value called fDisablePrinterRedirection and set it to 1. Assume this is just a temporary bug but may help others.Solved391Views1like2CommentsBasic LoadBalancer Upgrade - no outbound rule created
The AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade module used for upgrading load balancer from basic to standard sku. It doesn't seem to create outbound rule when there's no existing backend pool in the basic LB. It can create the outbound rule if there is pre-existing backendpool in the basic lb. I know the outbound connection is implicit in the basic LB and I want to maintain the outbound connection after upgrading to standard sku. So my question is whether it's ok to create a backendpool for the standard LB using all the nics from inbound NAT rule then create a outbound rule based on the new backend pool? Is there's any security concern by doing this way?Solved127Views0likes2Comments
Azure Databricks - SQL query - Configuration not available
I spun up a FINO's Legend Studio instance locally, and I was able to establish a connectivity between the application and my Azure Databricks resource. However, when I run a SQL query from Legend Studio, which is supposed to execute on Databricks, I get a "Configuration legend_databricks_http_path is not available" error from Databricks: By going to the "Query History" on Azure Databricks, I can confirm Legend Studio is reaching Databricks, but this is responding with the error mentioned above. The "See error" button doesn't provide any additional error details.
