The following steps describe how to assign an existing virtual machine to a user. Personal virtual desktops are specific virtual machines hosted on an RD Virtualization Host server that have been assigned to a user account in Active Directory.

On the Installation Results page, review the results, and click Close. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, review the selections made, and then click Install.ġ0. If Hyper-V is not installed, it will be installed automatically by the installation wizard.ĩ. This is the only role service that is being installed at this time.

It needs it's own dedicated infrastructure to be successful.īut hey, don't take my word for it. The biggest part of a successful VDI is understanding that it should not run on your existing virtualization infrastructure.

You must be licensed properly or when audited you will have a hefty bill to pay later that is retroactive and includes penalties. VDI licensing is used with virtual workstations, RDS CALs are used with multi-session terminal servers. After validation, it gets scaled up and more users are added. You may have the best software going, but if your infrastructure to support it isn't up to the task, you won't enjoy a good experience.Ī proper VDI solution should be scalable and a VDI project, once it has reached the implementation stage, should only take 1-2 months to get to validation. Non-persistent VDI is preferred and is NOT run multi-session.

The correct one should be chosen if you intend to go this route. Multi-session capable OS's have widely different use cases. Okay, I think I see the issue(s) here but it'll be high level because you have too much to fix that this forum is not the place for it.
