AVD-Update.ps1 assists initial configuration and monthly maintenance of AVD Session Host Master Images by updating the following components:
- Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome (If installed)
- Microsoft 365 Apps / Office 365
- Microsoft Windows Defender
- Microsoft OneDrive
- Microsoft FSLogix
- Microsoft Windows Updates / Recommended updates
Updating takes ~35-40 minutes and the VM reboots when complete.
All update services and tasks are disabled for each component, except for the Windows Update service which is required to update Microsoft Windows Defender, so that they cannot run when the Image has been deployed in Production environments.
Following the reboot, AVD-PostUpdate.ps1 must be run to complete maintenance tasks.
- Compress WinSXS
- Optimise .Net Framework
- Update Root Certificates
- Tidy folders and remove temporary media
The tasks that would normally invoke these processes are disabled so that they cannot run when the Image has been deployed in Production environments. It's better to run TiWorker.exe on the master image once only rather than every day on every session host.
Below is a typical logfile.
