What's new in the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent?

  • บทความ

The Azure Virtual Desktop agent links your session hosts with the Azure Virtual Desktop service. It acts as the intermediate communicator between the service and the virtual machines, enabling connectivity.

The Azure Virtual Desktop Agent is updated regularly. New versions of the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent are installed automatically. When new versions are released, they're rolled out progressively to session hosts. This process is called flighting and it enables Microsoft to monitor the rollout in validation environments first.

A rollout might take several weeks before the agent is available in all environments. Some agent versions might not reach nonvalidation environments, so you might see multiple versions of the agent deployed across your environments. The Azure Virtual Desktop Agent updates regularly. This article is where you'll find out about:

  • The latest updates
  • New features
  • Improvements to existing features
  • Bug fixes

Make sure to check back here often to keep up with new updates.

Version 1.0.5739.9000/1.0.5739.9800

Published: January 2023

Note

You may see version 1.0.5739.9000 or 1.0.5739.9800 installed on session hosts depending on whether the host pool is configured to be a validation environment. Version 1.0.5739.9000 was released to validation environments and version 1.0.5739.9800 was released to all other environments.

Normally, all environments receive the same version. However, for this release, we had to adjust certain parameters unrelated to the Agent to allow this version to roll out to non-validation environments, which is why the non-validation version number is higher than the validation version number. Besides those changes, both versions are the same.
