VMware Horizon – Create RDS Desktop Pool for existing RDS-server

Release date: March 14th 2019

Welcome to my VMware Horizon series. In this session I will describe how to create an RDS Desktop Pool for an existing RDS-server located in the manual RDS Farm I created in my previous session.

Log into Horizon View Administrator, from the menu on the left, click Desktop Pools

 

Click Add… from the top menu

 

Choose RDS Desktop Pool, Next

 

Give the new pool an ID and Displayname, Next

 

Set Desktop Pool Settings, Next

 

I select the Manual RDS Farm i created earlier, Next

 

I tick «Entitle Users….», Finish

 

I click Add…

 

I search and select my testuser-group “View_Users”, OK

 

Close

 

My new manual RDS pool,ManualRDPool, is now created and accessible for the users in the group View_Users

 

Once the RDS Desktop Pool is created, I proceed with testing this, posted here: VMware Horizon – Add existing RDS server to Horizon

 

VMware Horizon planning, deployment etc.
