AVD Session hosts becoming unavailable at random

We have the same issue as described in the following article:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop/anyone-experiencing-session-hosts-becoming-unavailable-at-random/m-p/3880609/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufExLQzlCN0NYSUNWUVVVfDM4ODA2MDl8U1VCU0NSSVBUSU9OU3xoSw#M11243

Users get kicked out of their session and cannot reconnect.
- The user sessions are still marked as Active/Disconnected according to the Azure portal.
We cannot RDP to the session host through the internal network.

After we shutdown and reboot the session host, everything will work fine again.

We noticed the following notable things:

There are no event logs generated at all, starting 30-60 min prior to the 'crash'.
Event Viewer is getting spammed by the following warning:
1. Microsoft.RDInfra.RDAgent.Service.AgentUpdateStateImpl
```
  1. Unexpected last recorded state
```

I have yet to find anything on this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this with their AVD environments?

Thanks for your answer!

What are you using to access - Web Client/Store Client/RD Client etc? Are you seeing the same behavior across all methods?

We are using the AVD-client (Remote Desktop app for Mac and Azure Remote Desktop for Windows)

What type of Host Pool - Pooled or Personal? If pooled, is this only happening on certain hosts or all?

Pooled - We have this issue on multiple hosts

If Pooled, do you have any scaling rules applied? Curios to see if this outage happens during a scaling event?

I'm also curious about this one. Do you know how to check this?

Are you using FSLogix to redirect user profiles?

Yes

Have you follows the other steps as described in the TechCommunity Link (disabling USB Redirection etc)

Yes, I disabled USB Redirection yesterday. Hope that this fixes the issue! The versions for the agents are newer so I don't think that that causes the issue.

Do you have Azure Monitor Log Analytics enabled for your Azure Virtual Desktop Host Pools and Session Hosts? This will give you in-depth technical logging and is the best way to diagnose the issues.

Yes we have! I'll check these!

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately the issue is still there after disabling the USB-redirection. I did't see shocking information in the Insights reports.

How can I check if the outage happens during a scaling event?
