Restart an RDS server member of a farm

Windows Server 2019

This script allows you to reboot a server RDS member of a farm with a broker session by closing the still open sessions.

Use :

Change the two variables $ServerBroker and $ServerHost.
Create a scheduled task by running the script on the remote desktop session host server.

Using the script avoids ending up with xxxxx.BACKUP-Y folders in the server’s C: \ Users folder.
During a reboot if UPDs are still mounted a temporary folder is created for each session still open.

The script :

# # RDR-IT # Get close and active sessions of a desktop session host server remotely and reboot the server # Compatible with RDS farms 2012R2 / 2016/2019 # $ServerBroker = "Broker.dom.local" $ServerHost = "RDH-01.dom.local" # Get sessions from broker $Sessions = Get-RDUserSession -ConnectionBroker $ServerBroker # Browse all open sessions and close sessions on the session host server configured in parameter foreach($Session in $Sessions){ #Write Event Write-EventLog -LogName "System" -Source "EventLog" -EventId 6013 -EntryType Information -Message "$Session.UserName close session" # Write-Host $Session.UnifiedSessionID -ForegroundColor Red Invoke-RDUserLogoff -HostServer $ServerHost -UnifiedSessionID $Session.UnifiedSessionID -Force } Restart-Computer
