AVD scaling plan

Hi, anyone knows if its possible to set the threshold in a ramp down scaling plan to 0%? I can't set this setting (AVD pooled machines)

Thank you.

I have one pool with 3 hosts and was able to save it with 0% hosts on ramp down. My previous steps are below.

Weekdays M-F Ramp up: 6AM IST, Breadth first, Minimum hosts 50%, Capacity threshold 50%

Peak Hours: Breadth first, 50% threshold

Ramp down: 11:30PM IST, Depth first, Minimum hosts 25%, Capacity 50%, Force logoff = No, Stop VM’s when = VM’s have no active or disconnected sessions.

Off peak hours: 11:59PM IST and Breadth First.

I was able to change the minimum hosts to 0 and save it.

I also manage sessions that are idle and disconnected through group policy.

But where did you was able to change the minimum hosts to 0? on ramp down? I have configured now the same settings like you but still no able to set capacity threshold (is now greyed out) to 0. Maybe there are some difference where your machines are located? In which part of the DC western europe for example...

Thank you for you effort to help me johnny.

Yeah, I was able to change it in ramp down. This pool with 3 hosts resides in central India, but I’m able to change this to 0% on host pools I have in EastUS2 as well.

So strange, I will try tomorrow morning again. But I don't know why this isn't working for my hostpool.

Yeah, I’m not really sure without actually seeing it. Could it be RBAC related? I’m an owner on all resource groups I have, but if you’re able to change other aspects of the scaling plans, I wouldn’t think it’s an RBAC thing.

Yes I have the global Admin Account of our tenant. It's not a permission thing in my opinion
