Important fix for IGEL AVD App

Have you experienced a  ‘Private Link for Azure Virtual Desktop’ and ‘occasional reconnect session hangs when using UDP’  response when connecting to your AVD Client? Yesterday IGEL was alerted about a server-side agent update – that interfered with IGEL AVD Client. Customers using Azure Virtual Desktop Private Link (more info here) were affected. Rapid collaboration with Microsoft resulted in Microsoft updating the RD Client SDK during the night. IGEL has received the fixed version and has now finished building the IGEL AVD App with the updated RD Client SDK.

As IGEL works through our own QA testing customers wishing to have early access can request a private build or technical preview. To get this please contact with your IGEL Sales Engineer or IGEL Support.

IGEL OS12 customers  should request  IGEL AVD App 1.2.1.rc1 or 1.3.0.tp5. IGEL AVD App 1.3.x enables Smart Card authentication and should be requested if you are using or testing this functionality. Otherwise please request 1.2.1.rc1.

Following your request for RC, IGEL will contact you as soon as the GA versions are available.

Also included in the fixed RD Client SDK is a fix for reconnect session hangs when using RDP Shortpath (UDP traffic).
