Best practice for removing/deleting session hosts?

I can see it is easy to remove a session host from a host pool. This does not delete the VM but it could then be deleted.

 

I wondered what is best practice regarding the domain join? Does removing the session host dis-join it from the AD or AADDS domain (presumably not)? Is it best to connect to the removed VM and dis-join it from the domain before deleting it?

    Hi, it does not disjoin session hosts from the active directory, but once you deploy new session hosts, you can put them in drain mode - once confirmed that everything is working as it should be, you can remove old session hosts from the server itself.

    I removed the session host from the host pool, then connected to it and removed it from the domain. I presume there is some way of scripting this for large-scale deployments when the session hosts are refreshed?
