Did anyone use PowerShell to get a disconnect time of a user session form a Azure VM ?

Hi @RaKu,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Yes, it is possible to get the disconnect time of a user session on an Azure VM using PowerShell. You can use the Get-AzVMRemoteDesktopSession cmdlet, which is part of the Az.DesktopVirtualization module, to get the information about the remote desktop sessions on an Azure VM.

If you have any further queries, do let us know.

Hi @RaKu,

Thank you for reaching out us again.

You need to have the Azure PowerShell module installed and configured on your machine, and you need to be logged in to your Azure account using the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet before running.

Hi @RaKu,

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my previous comment. You can use the command "Disconnect-AzWvdUserSession" in PowerShell to get the disconnect time of a user session from an Azure VM. For more details, please visit the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.desktopvirtualization/disconnect-azwvdusersession?view=azps-12.1.0.

Hi @RaKu,

Thank you for reaching out us again.

You used to determine whether a session was active or disconnected by using the following command:

query user [<username> | <sessionname> | <sessionID>] [/server:<servername>]

To use this command, you must have Full Control permission or special access permission.

If you don't specify a user using the <username>, <sessionname>, or sessionID parameters, a list of all users who are logged on to the server is returned. Alternatively, you can also use the query session command to display a list of all sessions on a server.

Please visit the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/query-user

Hi @RaKu ,

Since there isn't a built-in command that directly provides the disconnect time of a user session from an Azure VM without logging into the VM, you'll need to create a custom script that meets your specific requirements.

This script will likely involve using Azure PowerShell modules to retrieve the necessary data and then processing it to extract the disconnect time.
