WVDOptimize.ps1 doesn't work anymore

Hello Dean,

Thank you for this script file.
I have used it many times, however, it doesn't work anymore because the script name has been changed by The-Virtual-Desktop-Team. This PS script at the end tries to run Win10_VirtualDesktop_Optimize.ps1 script, however, that script doesn't exist anymore.

What can I do to fix this issue? Thank you.

Thank you.

Getting error whiling setting up WVD apps

Hi thanks for posting and all the great info about WVD, I have an issue whiling setting up the remote apps here.

This is what i am trying to run
$RemoteApps = @(
@{AppGroupName = 'MeltwaterdevWDV-WVD'; FilePath = 'mw-dev-eus-rad.rdp'}
@{AppGroupName = 'MeltwaterdevWDV-WVD'; FilePath = 'mw-dev-eus-ad1.rdp'}
)
foreach ($App in $RemoteApps) {
Get-RdsStartMenuApp -TenantName $WVDTenantName
-HostPoolName $WVDHostPoolName -AppGroupName $App.AppGroupName
| ? FilePath -Match $App.FilePath `
-OutVariable NewApp

New-RdsRemoteApp `
    -TenantName $WVDTenantName `
    -HostPoolName $WVDHostPoolName `
    -AppGroupName $App.AppGroupName `
    -Name $NewApp.FriendlyName `
    -Filepath $NewApp.filepath  `
    -IconPath $NewApp.iconpath `
    -IconIndex $NewApp.iconindex

}

This is an error that I got
New-RdsRemoteApp : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Name' because it is null.

Reversing the Optimizations / Allowing Windows Store apps?

Hi Is there a way to perform a process to reverse the optimization process on a WVD host?

Unfortunately, not having the Windows Store apps has caused usability issues for a deployment. The users actually need Windows Calculator and the Windows Media player as an example.

Attempts for the user to reinstall the Windows Store app ends in unusual behavior where if the user installs Calculator as an example, it is not available for their current session. Once they logoff and logon again, the Store apps are no longer available and even a taskbar pin to the app no longer works. I assume this may be some Local policy or similar, but not sure where to start to check.

My initial thoughts were to reverse the entire process but not sure that is even possible?
Open to recommendations.

Thanks
Richard

New-CustomHost.json join domain issue

Using the New-CustomHost.json does not join a machine to the domain, because it is missing a dependency called "WVD-Copy" at the "JoinDomain-Copy" resource.
The machine is in creating state and the deployment wants to add it to a domain at the same time, which failes.

WVD-Scaling-Automation.ps1 Issues

Thanks for the script Dean, awesome work. I had to modify the "Download Scripts" Section as it appears they've moved. The links in the Microsoft documentation page on Scaling worked. I also had to pass $WorkspaceName instead of $Workspace because otherwise the script would report that the Log Analytics Workspace could not be found.
