Az.Desktopvirtualization Powershell issues

Hello,

 

The Az.Desktopvirtualization module has some oddities, especially when compared to the previous module for Non-ARM. 

 

1  Get-AzWvdSessionHost

The name column this cmdlet produces has the format below:  

WVD-Pool2/WVD-SH000000.ingram.micro

However, other AzWvd cmdlets require a session host name in FQDN format. The previous module produced FQDN names. 

 

2  Get-AzWvdUserSession

The cmdlet does not produce a column (unlike the previous module) for Sessionhostname.  

The Name column produces the format below:

WVD-Pool2/WVD-SH000000.ingram.micro/2

Which is not directly useable considering the FQDN requirement mentioned at point 1.

The ID column contains a very long string as well, only producing a user session ID would be useful (as it was in the previous module). 

 

3 Update-AzWvdSessionHost -SubscriptionId $Az_Sub_Id -HostPoolName $WVD_Hostpool -ResourceGroupName $WVD_Hostpool_RG -Name $FQDN -AllowNewSession 

 

-AllowNewSession no longer acceps $true or $false. The cmdlet above can only be used to turn drain mode off for session hosts (if previously turned on via the management GUI).

    @ Point 3;
    The currently accepted syntax to enable drain mode is:
    Update-AzWvdSessionHost -SubscriptionId $Az_Sub_Id -HostPoolName $WVD_Hostpool -ResourceGroupName $WVD_Hostpool_RG -Name $FQDN -AllowNewSession:$False
