Azure Virtual Desktop - Custom Configuration solution does not seem to do anything when applied

[jelder]

I am trying to create a host pool VM using the "Custom configuration" option. The custom solution suggested in the instructions (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/RDS-Templates/master/wvd-sh/arm-template-customization/script.ps1) does not seem to have done anything. For example, the Edge OOBE is unchanged.

The "Learn more" link goes to https://github.com/Azure/RDS-Templates/tree/master/wvd-sh/arm-template-customization

Not only that but also documentation states that you are expected to upload ZIP file of ARM tempalte but URL link is actually forcing to input PS1 file.

Probably result of PS1 being changed and requiring now explicetly passing 'AdvancedOptimizations parameter,.

So script shall look like below

& .\VDOT\Virtual-Desktop-Optimization-Tool-main\Windows_VDOT.ps1 -Optimizations All -AcceptEULA -Restart

Documentation needs to be updated and script changed @microsoft

The Optimizations parameter no longer defaults to 'All', you must explicitly pass in this parameter.
This is to allow for running 'AdvancedOptimizations' separately

@jelder I wrote that script which I believe existed before the VDOT Advanced Optimizations were released and only configures some basic settings. In any case, it's an example. If you require different behavior, you'll need modify the script and host it in Azure Blobs in your subscription.

@artisticcheese This example was created for the old version of the Custom Configuration feature which required an ARM template of the virtual machine extension. You are correct. It is no longer needed.

The link on description still points to that article which tells incorrect information
