I am looking at setting up optimisation for MS Teams in AVD setup.Citris have HDX optimisation guidelines to offload the decoding of videos in their VDI setup.Do the following 2 articles specify the equivalent instructions for AVD or do I need worry about some more things: -
Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn
Use Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop - Azure | Microsoft Learn

Does anyone know if the DJI Windows 10 SDK is specific to UWP, or can it be used in any .Net Core application? UWP is restrictive when it comes to interprocess communications, which limits sharing telemetry and video with pre-existing (non-UWP) applications. Just thought I'd ask the community before spending my client's money investigating.
I wished to develop a specialized software and NOT an app, which will be deployed at a few customer sites ultimately and not to be posted on Microsoft Store. Can I use Universal Windows Platform for it? I did some research and the official documentation of Microsoft says -
The Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is the app platform for Windows 10. You can develop apps for UWP with just one API set, one app package, and one store to reach all Windows 10 devices – PC, tablet, phone, Xbox, HoloLens, Surface Hub and more.
We want to develop a specialized software, with all its installers / DLLs / binaries etc etc which we will ship to a few customers and install at their PCs. So, my question is - Can we use Universal Windows Platform for developing such a software? Or if it be used only for app development, which ultimately needs to be loaded on the Microsoft Store for disbursement?
UWP apps do not have to be distributed via public Microsoft Store. You can distribute the apps via sideloading and alternatively via Microsoft Store for Business which is a company-specific view into Microsoft Store, where you can publish internal apps.
Furthermore, you can package existing Desktop apps as UWP apps including their installers with the Desktop Bridge, which is useful when your app includes functionality, which is unavailable in pure UWP apps.
The main advantage of using UWP especially in conjunction with Microsoft Store for Business is simpler deployment and easier install and update lifecycle, however it might not suit you in complex scenarios.
2 ways to go about this (of a couple more)
1. You can distribute the appx as you would an exe and have the client use side loading to install it on whatever machine is needed.
2. you can release it in the Microsoft Store for Business or Microsoft Store for Education

I have spent hours attempting to answer a very basic question about Azure and MSDN. Microsoft documentation and support is very poor (and their pricing very high), but because I must continue to develop applications for Windows as a contract developer and I wish to have a backup and test development machine, I have no choice but to submit to their requirements.
I would like to answer what I think is a simple question: If I purchase an "MSDN Operating Systems" subscription (as opposed to a "Visual Studio Professionl with MSDN" subscription), will this enable the "Windows Client" VM option on Azure? Or, am I required to purchase the much more expensive "Visual Studio Professionl with MSDN" subscription in order to have the Windows Client VM option in Microsoft Azure?
Note that the "feature comparison" between these two MSDN choices here has no bullet point in the "Microsoft Azure" line-item for the "MSDN Operating Systems":
... However, this could just mean that you don't receive any monthly credit for Azure usage - not that the Windows Client VM is not available for this Azure-MSDN connection. But then again, maybe my fear is correct - that the Windows Client VM option will not be available on Azure, even if I pay for the MSDN Operating Systems subscription.
As I've noted, after literally hours of trying to answer this question, I can't (the Microsoft references are useless).
Can you run Windows Client VM's on Azure with an MSDN Operating Systems subscription?
This post http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/05/29/windows-client-images-on-azure/ states that the following MSDN subcriptions qualify for Windows Client VMS for dev and test:
Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN
· Visual Studio Premium with MSDN
· MSDN Platforms
· Visual Studio Test Professional with MSDN
· Visual Studio Professional with MSDN
So it looks like the answer is no.

While going through the article at "http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/04/19/managing-quot-byo-quot-pcs-in-the-enterprise-including-woa.aspx", I came across the statement "The agent then performs a service lookup to locate the organization’s management infrastructure based on the user’s email address."
I understand that this is how the Company App connect to the organization's network. The questions are:
What is this service? Is this something that will be developed and hosted by the organization?
If yes, then how will be Company App will connect to this specific service URL for enrolling?
Windows RT devices can be managed with Windows Intune and Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1. Intune is a cloud-based service from Microsoft (11$ per month and user) whereas SCCM is self-hosted in the network of your company.
Because there is no information about the protocol used by Microsoft currently, it's hard to tell whether a custom implementation will be possible in the future. It's likely that they use a similiar protocol as used by the Windows Phone 8 MDM agent (OMA DM XML).
Have a look at this article to get an idea how you can manage your Windows RT devices with Windows Intune.
