Schedule Host Pool To Re-Image to Latest Image

 

I was surprised this option didn't seem to exist and I was directed by support to make this feature request. 

The automatically re-image used hosts option will ensure that our host pools are always up to date with the latest version of the image but when we have a host pool that can autoscale down to 0 it can cause us issues if users try to connect while the last host is re-imaging as it can take 1hr or so for this to complete.

What i would like is for the ability to schedule the re-image of hosts so they take the latest version of the image on a specific schedule rather than when being shut down. The current schedule re-image option requires you to select a specific image version, i would like to have the option to only have to select "Latest" to avoid any manual intervention.

I'm kind of surprised this isn't there either.
Great idea!

This would be a total game changer for automating patching/image updates.
