Azure Virtual Machine Start on Connect?
Hi Support, Do you have any idea if we can start our azure virtual machines on connect? What are the things needs to be done? Hope you can give me a guide. Thanks.

Start on Connect is Azure Virtual Desktop functionality only and doesn't apply to traditional VMs. If you know your hours of operation or are using scale sets you can configure accordingly to scale back on differing loads or turn them off entirely between specified hours.
Here's a link/video on how you can achieve auto-shutdown and auto-start using automation tasks.

Currently now we are using powerapps so that users can start/stop their VM & azure automation schedules.
Is there a way to add Azure Virtual Machines in Host Pools so that we can use this Start on Connect functionality?
Thanks.
