evasse Spent some time today testing the Start VM On Connect feature with little success. It may be due to my customers unique configuration, but can't seem to get it to work.

WVD Spring Release (v2)

Personal Host Pool = check

Validation Host Pool = check

Custom Role = check

Azure Public = check

Updated Host Pool with StartVMOnConnect:$True = check

The session host was initially stopped (deallocated). Started the VM from PowerShell and logged in to the VM using RD Client (1.2.1844.0). Shutdown the VM from inside the Session and confirmed via PowerShell the VM was stopped (not deallocated). Tried to Connect to the VM and got the error below:
