Anyone experiencing session hosts becoming unavailable at random

Since the end of last week we have had three occasions where one of the session hosts randomly becomes unavailable. This happened in two separate AVD environments.

  • Users get kicked out of their session and cannot reconnect.
    • The user sessions are still marked as Active/Disconnected according to the Azure portal.
  • We cannot RDP to the session host through the internal network.

After we shutdown and reboot the session host, everything will work fine again.

 

We noticed the following notable things:

  1. There are no event logs generated at all, starting 30-60 min prior to the 'crash'.
  2. Since the 28th of October Event Viewer is getting spammed by the following warning:
    1. Microsoft.RDInfra.RDAgent.Service.AgentUpdateStateImpl
      1. Unexpected last recorded state
  3. The "Remote Desktop Services Infrastructure Agent" has been updated on the 25th of October, to version 1.0.5555.1008
  4. The "Remote Desktop Services SxS Network Stack" has been updated on the 31st of October, to version 1.0.2208.17300
    1. This is also the first day that we experienced the problem.

 

I have yet to find anything on this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this with their AVD environments?

        Depends on your subscription. If you're a CSP, do it through your distri. (Get in touch via pvt message if unclear)

    Yes we had this today for the first. only affecting 1 host out of 10, completely random. all using same agent version 1.0.5555.1008.

     

    We drain bad host and user can log into another one.

    We noticed the same issue on multiple tenants. Similar timeframe and same versions of RDAgent and SxS Network Stack.
    Did you open a ticket at MS? We noticed this in West Europe and UK West.

      We are running everything in the West Europe region. We don't have any special AV/firewall.
