Examples

Example 1: Add virtual desktops to a virtual desktop collection on an RD Connection Broker

This command adds virtual desktops to the managed pooled virtual desktop collection named "Virtual Desktop Pool" that is associated with the RD Connection Broker server named "rdcb.contoso.com". The VirtualDesktopAllocation parameter specifies that one virtual desktop is created on the host servers named "RDS-WKS-A27.vdi.contoso.com" and two virtual desktops are created on the host server named "RDS-WKS-A28.vdi.contoso.com". The command specifies that after 31 days the server enforces a password update for the virtual desktops.

PS C:\> Add-RDVirtualDesktopToCollection -ConnectionBroker "rdcb.contoso.com" -CollectionName "Virtual Desktop Pool" -VirtualDesktopAllocation @{"RDS-WKS-A27.vdi.contoso.com"=1;"RDS-WKS-A28.vdi.contoso.com"=2} -VirtualDesktopPasswordAge 31
