AVD Desktop/Client OS - SMB Client Connection limit
Hey Guys, Would like to confirm regarding SMB client-side connection limits, particularly: "Windows Desktop OS typically enforces a maximum of 20 concurrent outbound SMB connections." Is this ...

What about this:
- If you need more than 20 outbound SMB connections per session host, consider using Windows Server OS as your AVD session host, which does not have this limit.
- Alternatively, scale out your session hosts to distribute SMB connections across multiple VMs.

Yes , the 20 outbound SMB client connection limit is per SMB client, not per user; so all users on that session host share the same connection pool.
