I wanted to put this out there as it felt like a nifty way to pipeline AVD MSIX files into AVD without any user interaction (other than a pipeline kicking off the script).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, above will grab the MSIX file from a known Azure Fileshare (after mounting). It’ll read the MSIX’s primary CIM file for meta data, use the Azure Rest API to add it to the hostpool and then updates a param file of an ARM template which can be used to e.g. update the appgroup in Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need some background knowledge to re-use above in your specific situation \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
