Any experience with Agent For Virtual Desktop?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 174

Hello,

Does anyone here have any idea why my Power Automate agent for virtual desktop won't launch and simply puts up an error of:
"Error in the communication with Power Automate for desktop" ?

 

I have:

  • checked that the Desktop version is the same as the agent (2.22)
  • checked for blocked executable
  • checked the Windows Event logs
  • reinstalled the agent
  • installed the agent on more than one server
  • re-registered the DLL as suggested here

Yet the agent will not launch.   From my understanding the communication takes place through the RDP channel, so I am not sure it would be a firewall issue.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Figured it out.

    Was using RDP Manager to establish connection to remote server instead of MSTSC itself.   Apparently the Agent only recognizes MSTSC established channels.
