The case of Persistent, SessionHost assignment remains even if the user is unassigned from AppGroup.
kyohei_ : Yes, this behavior is by design, in two ways:
1. The removal of the user from the app group does not remove the session host assignment.
2. Through the cmdlets, you can't simply re-assign a session host to a different user. We view this as tight security, since a user likely had local data on the VM (as opposed to the pooled scenario where that user's profile was on a user profile share).
To re-assign that session host, you need to completely remove it from the environment, then re-register the host.

Hi Christian, with regards to the statement below, could you give more information on the correct steps to complete this for this for a direct assignment on a 'personal session host'.

HandA : Sure. So essentially, you would need to remove the session host and then get new registration info for the host pool so you can re-add it.
Remove-RdsSessionHost -TenantName <tenantName> -HostPoolName <hostPoolName> -Name <fullSessionHostComputerName> $token = New-RdsRegistrationInfo -TenantName <tenantName> -HostPoolName <hostPoolName> $token.TokenThen, go to the VM and uninstall all of the agents in the installed programs. Likely, you'll want to re-start the computer. Then, follow the steps here to re-install the agents with that Registration Token, using the steps here: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-powershell#register-the-virtual-machines-to-the-windows-virtual-desktop-host-pool .
Christian_MontoyaOnce again, thanks Christian. A great help!
