TravisRoberts  Thanks for posting the script and its helpful, however I am getting the below error

: Host pool not set to Depth-First load balancing. This script requires Depth-First load balancing to execute
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException

 

I have set the host pool to depth first and using Get-AzWvdHostPool I can see the loadbalance type is set to Depth First

VenkataKrishnamurti Can you verify you are using the WVDARM_ScaleHostPoolVMs.ps1 script with the newer, Spring update of WVD?  Based on that error, you may be using the older version for the WVD Clasic.

Thanks
