Hello Mittal Rawat, thank you for posting your question here at Q&A portal.

Based on your question, you want to determine which Host Pool a Session Host belongs to when you only have the Session Host name and Resource Group. Am I right? If so...

Using Azure Portal

1. Navigate to the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com)
2. Go to the Resource Group that contains your Session Host
3. Find the Virtual Machine (your Session Host) in the resource list
4. Click on the VM and look at its "Tags" - AVD Session Hosts typically have tags that include the Host Pool information
5. Alternatively, check the "Extensions" tab - the AVD agent extension often contains Host Pool reference

# First, get the VM details
$vm = Get-AzVM -Name <YourSessionHostName> -ResourceGroupName <YourResourceGroupName>

# Check the tags
$vm.Tags

# Or query the Host Pool directly if the Session Host is registered
Get-AzWvdSessionHost -HostPoolName <HostPoolName> -ResourceGroupName <HostPoolResourceGroup> | 
    Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*<YourSessionHostName>*"}

or

az vm show --name <YourSessionHostName> --resource-group <YourResourceGroupName> --query tags

• Session Hosts are typically tagged with their Host Pool information during deployment
• The Host Pool name is often part of the Session Host's domain join or naming convention
• If you can't find the information, you may need to check across all Host Pools in your subscription to see where the Session Host is registered
