Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for tracking and managing virtual desktops using signed tokens are presented. In some embodiments, a server computing device may receive a first registration message from a first virtual machine. The server computing device may determine a state of the first virtual machine based on token information associated with the first registration message received from the first virtual machine. Subsequently, the server computing device may update virtual machine state information records maintained by the server computing device based on the state of the first virtual machine determined by the server computing device. The virtual machine state information records maintained by the server computing device may identify one or more tainted virtual machines and one or more untainted virtual machines. In addition, the server computing device may be configured to select virtual machines for brokered virtual desktop sessions based on the virtual machine state information records.
