Possible values are in the range 0 - 60. | false | false | | | ProductCode | The licensing product code for this desktop group. If none is specified, then the site-wide product code is used. | false | false | | | ProtocolPriority | A list of protocol names in the order in which they should be attempted for use during connection. | false | false | | | PublishedName | The name that will be displayed to users for their desktop(s) in this desktop group. | false | false | | | ResourceLeasingEnabled | Indicates if this desktop group is enabled for resource leasing. | false | false | | | RestrictAutoscaleMinIdleUntaggedPercentDuringOffPeak | This indicates the percentage that the number of untagged single-session machines in an idle state, or for multi-session machines, the untagged available load capacity must fall below before Autoscale powers on and manages ‘tagged’ machines, as per policy, in off-peak. If the number of untagged machines in an idle state, or the untagged available load capacity goes above this threshold value, Autoscale will attempt to shut down ‘tagged’ machines. Possible values are in the range -1 - 100, where -1 (default) disables this behavior. This is only relevant for desktop groups configured for Restrict Autoscaling. | false | false | | | RestrictAutoscaleMinIdleUntaggedPercentDuringPeak | This indicates the percentage that the number of untagged single-session machines in an idle state, or for multi-session machines, the untagged available load capacity must fall below before Autoscale powers on and manages ‘tagged’ machines, as per policy, in peak time.

Any outstanding shutdown request takes effect after the settlement period expires. This is typically used to configure time to allow logoff scripts to complete. | false | false | | | SettlementPeriodBeforeUse | Idle period before a machine can be selected to host a new session after registration or the end of a previous session. This is typically used to allow a machine to become idle following processing associated with start-up or logoff actions. A machine may still be selected during the idle period if no other machine is available for immediate use. | false | false | | | ShutdownDesktopsAfterUse | Whether desktops in this desktop group should be automatically shut down when each user session completes (only relevant to power-managed desktops). | false | false | | | TimeZone | The time zone in which this desktop group’s machines reside. The time zone must be specified for any of the group’s automatic power management settings to take effect. Automatic power management operations include pool management (power time schemes), reboot schedules, session disconnect and logoff actions, and powering on assigned machines etc. | false | false | | | TurnOnAddedMachine | This flag specifies whether the Broker Service should attempt to power on machines when they are added to the desktop group. | false | false | | | ZonePreferences | Ordered list of zone preferences to be applied when launching resources from this desktop group.

Desktop Studio and Desktop Director typically create High Level Operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a High Level Operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. | false | false | | | AdminAddress | Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snapin will connect to. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. | false | false | Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default. | | BearerToken | Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user | false | false | | | TraceParent | Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use | false | false | | | TraceState | Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use | false | false | | | VirtualSiteId | Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. | false | false | |
