How to drain users?

[Dan White]

In Next-Gen, have we lost the ability to drain users from a node? How do we go about changing the state of a node to stop new user sessions?

Thx,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Drain mode will be available in future release.  Unfortunately, release timeline cannot be provided at this time, but rest assured we are doing our best to release this capability as soon as possible.

Hi Dan, as of Horizon Cloud next-gen 2408 service release, drain mode functionality is available.  From the release notes:

"Administrators can select one or more multi-session VMs within a pool and configure Login Mode to aid with maintenance workflows. Login mode states that are configured directly on multi-session VMs (for example, by using the Windows change logon command line) are also reflected in the Horizon Universal Console."

Yes, it appears this is now available within the console:

This is a great improvement with the latest release!
