cwljack : Your instincts and actions are correct, and we definitely suggest to power down VMs when not using them. Have you hit this again recently? We were seeing some sporadic agent errors back in November, so likely this is fixed, if you're able to test again.

Christian_Montoya: Thanks for coming back to me, the original environment was deleted but I've built a new test environment and created two host pools.

 

One is running Windows Server 2016 built from the gallery image and one is the multi session image of Windows 10 slightly customised with some basic LOB applications and deployed from blob storage.

 

This afternoon I stopped and de-allocated both VM's from the Azure portal and when I've started them back up this evening and ran Get-RDSSessionHost and this is showing as available now so it does look like the issue is resolved.
