Other than the Virtual Machine Auto shutdown setting, is there a policy or setting that would shut down and notify the logged-on users (for a shared virtual desktop) that a shutdown is imminent?

    I am looking at AVD-Shutdown from GitHub (https://github.com/fortytwoservices/AVD-Shutdown). I am having some issues with it. I will ask a new question to seek help on that.

    Thanks.

    Brilliant minds think alike. 😊I've been looking at the AVD-Shutdown webhook from fortytwoservices on GitHub. (https://github.com/fortytwoservices/AVD-Shutdown) I am currently having authentication issues with that. I'm going to open a new question for that issue.

    Thanks for your help.
