How do you manage user sessions in Azure Virtual Desktop?

Managing user sessions in Azure Virtual Desktop is primarily accomplished through the Azure Portal or by using PowerShell commands. The Azure Portal provides a user-friendly interface that allows administrators to monitor, manage, and configure user sessions easily. This includes capabilities such as viewing active sessions, disconnecting users, or managing session hosts and application groups.

PowerShell commands complement the Portal by offering automation and scripting capabilities, which are especially useful for bulk management tasks or when integrating session management into larger administrative scripts. With PowerShell, administrators can perform a wide range of tasks related to user sessions, such as querying session states, managing session host scaling, and more.

Both the Azure Portal and PowerShell provide the necessary tools to effectively manage and oversee user sessions, catering to different administrative preferences and requirements. This method of management is strategic and centralized, ensuring that all user session data can be accessed and manipulated from a single point of control, dramatically increasing efficiency in a cloud-based environment like Azure Virtual Desktop.
