Examples

Example 1: Move a Virtual Desktop to a new RD Virtualization Host Server

This example moves a virtual desktop from one RD Virtualization server to another. The commands run on the RD Connection Broker and move virtual desktops from the source host to the destination host.

The first command enables Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the destination host. The Enable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet delegates the client credentials to the delegate server.

PS C:\> Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role "Client" -DelegateComputer * -Force

The second command enables CredSSP authentication on the source host. The Enable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet delegates the server credentials to the delegate server.

PS C:\> Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role "Server" -DelegateComputer * -Force

The third command gets a credential object based on the user name and password that the user enters. The command stores the results in the $Creds variable.

PS C:\> $Creds = Get-Credential

The fourth command moves the virtual desktop named "RDS-WKS-A2" from the source host named "rdvh-1.contoso.com" to the destination host named "rdvh-2.contoso.com". The command uses the credential object stored in the $Creds variable.

PS C:\> Move-RDVirtualDesktop -SourceHost "rdvh-1.contoso.com" -DestinationHost "rdvh-2.contoso.com" -Name "RDS-WKS-A2" -Credential $Creds
