Prevent Deletions or Allow Deletions for a Dedicated Desktop Assignment

You can prevent deletions or allow deletions of VMs for a dedicated desktop assignment using a setting on the Assignments page.

The Prevent Deletions option causes the system to deny all requests to delete a desktop VM from a dedicated desktop assignment. You can also set limits on VM deletions using the following options.

• Deletion Protection - For more information, see Customizable General Settings for Your Horizon Cloud Tenant Environment.
• Max Desktop Deletions - You can set this option when creating or editing a dedicated desktop assignment. The option is described in Create a Dedicated VDI Desktop Assignment Provisioned by a Single Pod in Microsoft Azure.

Note: When you specify a new image for a dedicated desktop assignment that has deletion prevention enabled, the system deactivates deletion prevention and changes deletion settings so that all unassigned desktop VMs can be rebuilt with the new image.
