Connect Wise Session locked when trying to promote myself to local Admin in AVD

Hello,

At my company we use connectwise control to provide remote IT assistance. I am testing Azure Virtual Desktop for a future move to VM's for our facilities. Connect wise allows you to send Alt-control-delete commands to the remote desktop so that we can promote ourselves to local admin.

When I tested this today with our test VM In azure virtual desktop. The session locked and I was unable to see any prompt to enter the local admin credentials to promote my user in the session.

Has anyone had an issue similar or knows of a way to troubleshoot this? It is isolated to the VM, it works fine on normal machines. If not is there another way within azure that I can remotely provide tech support? I know quick assist exists but I haven't found a way to get local admin rights over a quick assist session.

Thanks!

Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Please find this blog post for the options for remote support.

I am not familiar with connect wise. You might need to reach out to Connect Wise support to check on the feasibility for AVD.

Hope that helps.
