  • This property will be one of:
    Value Description
    "IMMEDIATELY"Logoff immediately after disconnect.
    "NEVER"Do not logoff after disconnect.
    "AFTER"Logoff 'x' minutes after disconnect.
automaticLogoffMinutesxsd:int

The timeout in minutes for automatic log-off after disconnect.
  • This property has a default value of 120.
  • This property need not be set.
  • This property has a minimum value of 1.
  • This property is required if automaticLogoffPolicy is set to "AFTER".
allowUsersToResetMachinesxsd:boolean

Whether users are allowed to reset/restart their machines.
  • This property has a default value of false.
allowMultipleSessionsPerUserxsd:boolean

Whether multiple sessions are allowed per user in case of Floating User Assignment.
  • This property has a default value of false.
deleteOrRefreshMachineAfterLogoffxsd:string

Whether machines are to be deleted or refreshed after logoff in case of Floating User Assignment. Note(s) :-
  • This is applicable for automated desktops with virtual machines names based on pattern naming. This is not applicable for desktops that are using specified naming since dynamic creation and deletion of VMs is not supported.
  • For Instant clone desktops this setting can only be set to DELETE.

  • This property has a default value of "NEVER".
  • This property will be one of:
    Value Description
    "NEVER"Never delete or refresh the machine.
    "DELETE"Delete the machine.
    "REFRESH"Refresh the machine. Only applicable when the machine source for the automated desktop is VIEW_COMPOSER or when it is an instant clone pool.
refreshOsDiskAfterLogoffxsd:string

Whether and when to refresh the OS disks for dedicated-assignment, linked-clone and instant-clone machines.
  • This property has a default value of "NEVER".

For example, if the specified value is 3 days, and three days have passed since the last refresh, the machine is refreshed after the user logs off.
    "AT_SIZE"The OS disk is refreshed when its current size reaches a specified percentage of its maximum allowable size. The maximum size of a linked clone's OS disk is the size of the replica's OS disk. With this option, the size of the linked clone's OS disk in the datastore is compared to maximum allowable size. This disk-utilization percentage does not reflect disk usage that you might see inside the machine's guest operating system.
