AVD Agent
We noticed that our AVD sessions were connecting via websocket instead of RDP Shortpath. We confirmed the traffic was making it through our firewalls.
I found a video that mentioned try turning on validation on your host pool. Naturally, we wouldn’t enable that on our prod environment.
We enabled it on a dev host pool and it immediately connected via RDP Shortpath. And when we disabled it, it reverted back to websocket.
It turns out that Microsoft pushed 1.0.14114.100 to all of our host pools. That version is a validation version. The version that should be installed for
Non validation is 1.0.13805.500. We attempted to manually install 1.0.13805.500 on the dev host, and re-register it to the host pool. It immediately updated the agent to the validation version.
We have a ticket open with Microsoft. But wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this?
