A machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method comprising
- determining that a desktop source requires maintenance;
- creating a temporary pool;
- accessing the desktop source requiring maintenance;
- automatically transferring the desktop source requiring maintenance from a source pool to the temporary pool;
- determining that an issue with the desktop source transferred to the temporary pool is rectified;
- and
- automatically transferring the desktop source from the temporary pool to the source pool when the issue is rectified.

A system, comprising:
- a virtual machine server of a data center that hosts a desktop source requiring maintenance;
- a connection server to create a temporary pool, to automatically transfer the desktop source requiring maintenance from a source pool on the connection server to the temporary pool, and to automatically transfer the desktop source from the temporary pool to the source pool when an issue in the desktop source requiring maintenance is rectified;
- and
- a set of client devices to access the rectified desktop source through the connection server.
A machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method comprising:
- forming a temporary pool having a plurality of desktop sources requiring maintenance provided to the temporary pool from different source pools;
- permitting a support professional to access to the temporary pool;
- restricting access by the support professional to the different source pools having desktop sources that do not require maintenance;
