RDS Collection - Alias

Question

Hi,

We are facing some issues with the default RemoteDesktop Powershell Module, since we cant define an UserGroup in the New-RDSessionCollection cmdlet, meaning that Domain Users is defined by default. Untill we can issue the Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration, all our endusers can see the new RDS collection.

We have worked around this issue, by importing the RDManagement Module (Import-Module C:\Windows\System32\ServerManagerInternal\RDManagement)
This module gives us the cmdlet New-RDSHCollection, where we can define a user group in the creation process

All of this is working just fine, but im curious about the Alias that is created for each collection.
Could we simply generate a random identifier for the Alias parameter, and insert this ?
Is that Alias used for anything else, than just being an Alias?

Example:

New-RDSHCollection -RDManagementServer connectionbroker.domain.com -Name "Comany ABC123" -User $Users -RDSHServer "rdsh.domain.com" -CollectionAlias "ABC123"

Answer 1

Hello,

As far as I understand, it is just an alias, like the name of the collection.

A session collection holds the apps and desktops you want to make available to users.
The collection name will only be displayed to users coming through Remote Desktop Web Access.
