This feature would be give the ability to AVD admins to bring a new image version live in a more controlled way.

We need this too! That would be really necessary!

 

Maybe as a paramter in the installer msi "Microsoft.RDInfra.RDAgent.msi" /DrainMode=True or something else ?

Searched internet for that feature, but found nothing helpfull.
When deploying a new VM into Hostpool i want it in drain mode, cause some configration needs to be done but cant automate this. so users connecting to new vm directly after creation with missing configuration. Automation of this tasks are difficult cause reboots are needed in between.
IMHO its best to make drain mode the default for new VM in Pool.
