After an automated desktop pool is created, you can customize, modify, or test individual machines by placing them in maintenance mode. When a machine is in maintenance mode, users cannot access the virtual machine desktop.
You place existing machines in maintenance mode one at a time. You can remove multiple machines from maintenance mode in one operation.
When you create a desktop pool, you can start all the machines in the pool in maintenance mode if you specify machine names manually.
