Bulk Publish WVD Application Groups to Azure AD Groups with Powershell

With the lack of a Administrative GUI, managing Windows Virtual Desktop can be a tedious task.

I’ve put together a quick little script to bulk publish Windows Virtual Desktop Application Groups to a group of Office 365/Azure AD users.

Open Powershell, and Install and Import the WVD module by running the following commands:

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.RDInfra.RDPowerShell
Import-Module -Name Microsoft.RDInfra.RDPowerShell

Modify the first four variables below to suit your environment:

    # Change these four variables to suit your environment
    $hostPoolName = "HOST-POOL-NAME"
    $WVDTenantName = "WVD-TENANT-NAME"
    $appGroupName = "Desktop Application Group"
    $userGroup = "Your MSOL Group Name"

    #Don't modify below here
    $Credential = Get-Credential
    Add-RdsAccount -DeploymentUrl "https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com" -Credential $Credential
    Connect-MsolService -Credential $Credential

    $appGroup = Get-RdsAppGroup $WVDTenantName $hostPoolName $appGroupName
    $publishUserGroup = Get-MsolGroup -SearchString $userGroup
    $usersToPublish = Get-MsolGroupMember -GroupObjectId $publishUserGroup.ObjectId 

    ForEach($member in $usersToPublish){
        Write-host $member.DisplayName
        $curUser = Get-MsolUser -SearchString "$($member.DisplayName)"
        Write-Host "$($appGroupName) published to $($curUser.UserPrincipalName)" -ForegroundColor Green
        Add-RdsAppGroupUser $WVDTenantName $hostPoolName $appGroupName -UserPrincipalName $curUser.UserPrincipalName
        }
    }
