Description

The Set-RdsHostPool cmdlet sets the properties for the specified host pool. Three parameter sets exist for this cmdlet. First is used to disable user profile disks. The second is used to enable user profile disks. The third is used to set all other properties of the host pool.

Examples

Example 1: Set the host pool to use depth-first load balancing

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoHostPool" -DepthFirstLoadBalancer -MaxSessionLimit 10

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoHostPool
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : False
CustomRdpProperty     :
MaxSessionLimit       : 10
LoadBalancerType      : DepthFirst
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        :

This command sets the host pool to use depth-first load balancing, such that incoming users will all be directed to a specific session host until it reaches the MaxSessionLimit, which is specified as 10 in this example. The MaxSessionLimit parameter is a requirement when setting depth-first load balancing since connections will not be distributed to subsequent session hosts until this session limit is reached on the first session host.

Example 2: Set the host pool to use breadth-first load balancing

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoHostPool" -BreadthFirstLoadBalancer

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoHostPool
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : False
CustomRdpProperty     :
MaxSessionLimit       : 10
LoadBalancerType      : BreadthFirst
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        :

This command sets the host pool to use breadth-first load balancing, such that incoming users will be evenly directed across session hosts in the host pool. The MaxSessionLimit parameter is optional since load balancing in breadth-first mode is less restrictive than load balancing in depth-first mode.

Example 3: Set the host pool to be treated as a validation environment

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoHostPool" -ValidationEnv $true

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoHostPool
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : False
CustomRdpProperty     : use multimon:i:0;
MaxSessionLimit       : 10
LoadBalancerType      : BreadthFirst
ValidationEnv         : True
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        :

This command sets the host pool to be a validation host pool. The validation host pool will receive service updates at a faster cadence, allowing you to test any service changes before they are deployed broadly in production.

Example 4: Set the host pool to use direct assignment

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoPersonalDesktops" -AssignmentType Direct

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoPersonalDesktops
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : True
CustomRdpProperty     : 
MaxSessionLimit       : 999999
LoadBalancerType      : Persistent
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        : Direct

This command sets the host pool to use direct assignment to determine the personal desktop session host to assign the user. With direct assignment, the user must be assigned to a session host before connecting to the host pool.

Example 5: Set the host pool to use automatic assignment

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoPersonalDesktops" -AssignmentType Automatic

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoPersonalDesktops
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : True
CustomRdpProperty     : 
MaxSessionLimit       : 999999
LoadBalancerType      : Persistent
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        : Automatic

This command sets the host pool to use automatic assignment to determine the personal desktop session host to assign the user. With automatic assignment, the user does not need to be assigned to a session host before connecting to the host pool.

Example 4: Set the host pool to use direct assignment

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoPersonalDesktops" -AssignmentType Direct

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoPersonalDesktops
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : True
CustomRdpProperty     : 
MaxSessionLimit       : 999999
LoadBalancerType      : Persistent
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        : Direct

This command sets the host pool to use direct assignment to determine the personal desktop session host to assign the user. With direct assignment, the user must be assigned to a session host before connecting to the host pool.

Example 5: Set the host pool to use automatic assignment

PS C:\> Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName "contoso" -Name "contosoPersonalDesktops" -AssignmentType Automatic

TenantName            : contoso
TenantGroupName       : Default Tenant Group
HostPoolName          : contosoPersonalDesktops
FriendlyName          :
Description           :
Persistent            : True
CustomRdpProperty     : 
MaxSessionLimit       : 999999
LoadBalancerType      : Persistent
ValidationEnv         : False
Ring                  : 
AssignmentType        : Automatic

This command sets the host pool to use automatic assignment to determine the personal desktop session host to assign the user. With automatic assignment, the user does not need to be assigned to a session host before connecting to the host pool.

Parameters

-AssignmentType

The assignment type for the personal desktop host pool:

  • Automatic, meaning users will be automatically assigned a session host on their first connection to the host pool.
  • Direct, meaning users must be directly assigned to a session host in the pool before they can connect.
