MicrosoftAuto Deallocation for Unused Azure Virtual Desktop Personal VMs
PyungraeCho Hi,
The process worked great until recent WVD agent updates making WVD status as 'Shutdown' rather than 'Unavailable'.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1193772/what-is-the-different-between-shutdown-unavailable
Just curious if WVDs can be ''Stopped (Deallocated)' directly from 'Shutdown' status.
PyungraeCho I received an email about "Migrate your runbooks to managed identities in Azure Automation by 30 September 2023"
This is something related to this scripts? Something to do?
Regards,
Wilson
- Yes, you have to take care.
Because my env is personal AVD VMs, I decided to change it by the new feature for AVD Auto-scaling : https://jlou.eu/avd-solo-start-and-stop/jlou65535 Hello,
I've configured an scaling plan for my personal pool but never shutdown the virtual machines.
I had followed your link https://jlou.eu/avd-solo-start-and-stop/ but machines never shutdown.
I have an AVD personal pool wit 10 VMs. I've create a scaling plan and associated to the pool.
My scaling's plan configuration is:
- Ram-up --> 07:00 AM, start vm on connect active. Don't turn VMs on at start time. Disconnect setting and log og settings in shutdownn 0 minutes.
- Peak hours --> 08:00 AM, start vm on connect active. Disconnect setting and log og settings in shutdown 0 minutes.
- Ramp-down --> 03:00 PM, start vm on connect active. Disconnect setting and log og settings in shutdown 0 minutes.
- Off.peak hours --> 03:30 PM, start vm on connect active. Disconnect setting and log og settings in shutdown 0 minutes.
Whether I disconnect the user session or close the windows avd client the VMs never shutdown and put in the deallocated state.
How can I fix it? .
Thanks in advance.
- Hello,
Did you configure the RBAC role named "Desktop Virtualization Power On Off Contributor" for Azure Virtual Desktop app ?
