Dynamic hostpool sessions not updating
We have created a dynamic host pool in a test environment. We see that new hosts are being created based on the scaling plan. However, these are no longer being deleted. When we look at the status, we see that there are no active sessions, but when we zoom in on the session hosts, it shows that there is a session on two of the three hosts. The latter is incorrect, but it is likely the reason why scaling down is not taking place. Does anyone recognize this? Is there possibly a solution for this? Small addition: If I log in with a user and then log out properly, the current sessions in the host pool overview are updated quickly. However, if I then go to Manage, Session Hosts, the total sessions on that host remain at 1. When I now put the host in drinamode, only then are the actual sessions updated.Dynamic hostpool scaling not working
We have set up an AVD dynamic host pool for testing. The scaling plan properly ensures that a host is created when needed. However, the host is no longer removed even after the rampdown. We observe that the total sessions counter gets stuck. If I log in with a user and then log out properly, the current sessions in the host pool overview are updated quickly. But, if I then go to Manage, Session Hosts, the total sessions on that host remain at 1. Only when I put the host in drain mode are the actual sessions updated. Still hosts are not removed. Anyone seen this before?
Dynamic RDP Properties Based on User's Location and Device Type
Hello! I am working with a client that currently uses Citrix SmartPolicies to update the RDP property of the remote machines based on if a user is connecting from a personal machine (not a client provided machine) and if the user is connecting from outside of the network (personal and client provided machine). So if, for example, they connect from a personal machine, the user cannot map printers, local drives, or have copy/paste functionality. I write this to ask if there's a possible way to do this in Azure Virtual Desktop. We've looked at Liquidware's ProfileUnity solution which can update these RDP properties based on AVD Session host properties like WMI classes, registry values, and environment variables. However, the only real discernable value we could find at the moment is $env:CLIENTNAME. We are looking for a secondary value to base filter on as the CLIENTNAME could be hacked pretty easily. Looking to see if anyone has had success in this type of scenario for a highly regulated company and what was your solution? If you used a third-party service, what was that service? Thanks!
