Recently we are seeing shutdown state in the Hostpool Session Hosts. What is the difference and it is something expected.
Hi @vipullag-MSFT Thanks for the reply. In our environment, exactly from last week we are seeing this change, earlier we used to see only unavailable state when session host is powered off or shutdown. Is there any changes done or with specific version of RD Agent we see this behavior ?
Hello Satis, Chitharthane
AVD agent was updated this week (to 1.0.6129.9100) and it changed the behavior. The public document change specific to this is work under progress.
Hope that helps.
Session Host status details can be familiarized from Microsoft documentation here

Hello Satis, Chitharthane
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.
In Azure Virtual Desktop, Shutdown state means that the session host has been shut down. If the agent enters a shutdown state before connecting to the broker, its status will change to Unavailable. If you've shut down your session host and see an Unavailable status, that means the session host shut down before it could update the status, and doesn't indicate an issue.
Hope that helps.
