Add NewConnectionAllowed in xRDSSessionCollection

[LaurentLienhard]

Is there any interest, for you, that when we add a sessionhost to a collection, we can tell if the openings of sessions on this server are authorized or not?

Parameter is NewConnectionAllowed

During my deployments by hand, I often block connections to check that everything is working well on the server before opening them.
I also sometimes block connections when I am notified of a problem on a server in order to be able to diagnose
On the other hand in automatic I wonder if there is really an interest
What do you think?

If you are using DSC to manage an RDS Session Collection, you really want to have tested the DSC you've authored and be confident in it working.

I'm not sure why you would ever 'desire' that a SessionHost is added to a SessionCollection in a state where it is not accepting connections. Not to mention, this is conflating the purpose of xRDSessionCollection which manages an RD Session Collection and xRDServer which would be used to add additional session hosts to a deployment.

If you want your DSC used to manage session hosts to initially introduce them in a state where they do not accept connections, whilst manual activity is then undertaken, then I would look at writing your own resource or a script resource to do it.
