Hello, I'm currently in AVD Poc. The user is using the Windows desktop client. For security reasons, Windows desktop clients need to be automatically logged off after 11 hours and re-logged through MFA authentication. During the current check, the Windows desktop client is still logged in unless you log off manually after logging in. Is there a solution?

Hi @Anonymous , thanks for reaching out to Microsoft QnA. You can automatically log off all users from a personal/pooled session host by keeping a group policy in place that would manually log off users at a certain time of the day (post peak hours/non-working hours).
Let me know if this helps?
Hello. Thank you for your reply. Where should I set the setting?
Hi @Anonymous , I am assuming you want to log off users in bulk after a certain time right? Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.
To log off all users from AVD , you can put up a policy in a Windows Server that is joined to Azure AD DS, wherein you have the Group Policy Management tool set up, where you can configure a custom policy to log off users from the session hosts at a certain time of the day.
You can refer to - manage-group-policy.
Do let me know if you have further questions.
