I'm looking at the best procedure around Application Group deployment for DR scenarios, we've got lots of Application Groups and FSLogix that's used for hosting the applications.

I was wondering if there's a way of automating the creation of Application Groups so that we could point the new DR Application Groups at the DR NetApp in the scenario of having to fail over to DR.

    Hi @Matty Burn

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

    To automate the creation of Application Groups, you can use Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI. Here is an example of how to create an Application Group using Azure PowerShell:

    New-AzWvdApplicationGroup -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName `
                            -Name ApplicationGroupName `
                            -Location 'eastus' `
                            -FriendlyName 'Friendly Name' `
                            -Description 'Description' `
                            -HostPoolArmPath '/subscriptions/SubscriptionId/resourcegroups/ResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/hostPools/HostPoolName' `
                            -ApplicationGroupType 'RemoteApp'

Location   Name                 Type
--------   ----                 ----
eastus     ApplicationGroupName Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationgroups
