Setting Availability Schedules
Set the availability schedule for a desktop pool to reduce resource usage and minimize costs.
There are two types of schedules:
-
Absolute Schedule
Sets the lifetime of the desktop pool with a designated start and stop time. This could be used for a short, live event, such as the duration of a show.
To set an absolute schedule, use the Pool Start Time and Pool Stop Time desktop pool parameters.
-
Periodic Schedule
Sets a reoccurring schedule to control access to the desktop pool and resources. This could be used to reduce resource usage by stopping the desktop pool during non-working hours. For example, Monday through Friday, start the desktop pool at 7am and stop it at 6pm.
To set a periodic schedule, use the Regular Schedule Start Time and Regular Schedule Stop Time desktop pool parameters.
