We created some new virtual desktop pools on azure.
Now we want to configure that every session which is disconnected ends immediately.
We configured this registry key:
Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Subkey: \Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\
Value Name: MaxDisconnectionTime
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x0000ea60 (60000)
Sadly we still have a lot of disconnected sessions 🙁
Could anyone help us?
I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.
To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.
If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.
Examples
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

You will have to modify the registry on your Master Image (if you used a custom image to create WVD pool) or the registry of the WVD created already & set this value on the rdp listener
The sessions which will connect after the below value is added would be logged off after 1 minute of disconnection
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp Value Name: MaxDisconnectionTime Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x0000ea60 (60000)
