Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool that runs Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. User sessions are load-balanced between the session hosts. Idle session timeout is 30 minutes. You plan to shut down a session host named Host1 to perform routine maintenance. You need to prevent new user sessions to Host1 without disconnecting active user sessions. Solution: From the host pool, you remove Host1 from the session host list. Does this meet the goal?

Explanation

This is a second question in the same series presenting a different solution to the same scenario. The answer is again No. In this series format, Microsoft tests multiple approaches. The only correct solution is enabling drain mode (setting AllowNewSession to false via Update-AzWvdSessionHost or the Azure portal host pool settings). Any alternative proposed - such as using the 'Turn off' option in the portal, stopping the Azure VM, or disabling the session host - would interrupt currently connected users or not properly prevent new logins. If the proposed solution in this variant does not use drain mode, it fails to meet the stated requirements.
