Azure Virtual Desktop - Login error Protocol Error Code 0x112f - Windows 11

Azure Virtual Desktop - Login error Protocol Error Code 0x112f - Windows 11

Login error: Protocol Error Code 0x112f

There are a lot of posts regarding this issue. I figured out that this old issue comes back in a specific combination with RDS settings and Windows 11.

If a user has multiple monitors and connecting to AVD, an error message is raised, if: The session uses all of the monitors AVCHardwareEncodePreferred is set to 1 (e.g., by using the GPO “Configure H.264/AVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop Connections”) The operating system is Windows 11 (22H2) - I was not able to reproduce the issue with Windows 10 and with the same configuration

Solution: If policies are used: Unconfigure all protocol-related settings in Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment.

Configure the protocol-related settings through the registry on the hosts or on the Golden Master (e.g., with a script in Hydra for Azure Virtual Desktop or WVDAdmin). Important is the value for AVCHardwareEncodePreferred. That should be 2 (which cannot be set with the GPO). The teams optimization is optional:
