Re assign user to Session host in Personal Pool desktop
Hi All,
Good Day!!!,
We deployed WVD Spring 2020 setup , we provisioned some set of Personal Pool-Personal Desktop and assigned to respective users into each sesionhost . Now the issue is we need to remove one user from assigned session and then add new user to the same sessionhost.
How can we achieve this, we tried to update using
Update-AzWvdSessionHost -HostPoolName HP01 -Name AZURE-WVD-5.domain.com -ResourceGroupName AZURE-WVD1-RSG -
AssignedUser:$false
but above command did not worked .
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks & Regards,

Kesavan Munuswamy Hi, unfortunately you cannot re-assign a host to a user. The quickest way to do this is to delete the existing host and just add in another one.
If you don't want to remove and re-deploy you can re-install the wvd broker agent on the VM using the following steps
1) Remove the host from the pool
2) RDP onto the VM and uninstall the WVD Broker Agent
3) Generate a new token from the portal
4) Re-install the agent using the token
5) Assign the host to the user
Hope that helps!

Hi virtualmanc
Thanks for your answer, it's exactely what I was looking for.
I just have a question : how do you generate a new token ?
Azure Virtual Desktop --> Host Pools --> Your host pool --> Registration Key --> Generate new key
This worked for me.
1) Remove the host from the pool
2) Generate new token
3) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RDInfraAgent --> Enter new token in "RegistrationToken"
4) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RDInfraAgent --> Set "IsRegistered" to "0".5) Reboot the session host
6) Assign the host to the user
It will probably work without reboot if you restart the correct services.- Hi Eirikv, Good Day!!!, I was found this 2 registry Key value update would be the easy and fasted way to do the changes i was done bunch of instances with this way.
