We have already set the RDS services up with the hyper-V cluster.
New VDI image has been already prepared with completing the Sysprep standardization.
We will use the cluster shard volume “C:\ClusterStorage\Volume3\RDS” on Hyper-V cluster node to provide the Pool VDI.
RDS folder must be granted for computer account of all hyper-V node to access (Read) explicitly. Hyper-V cluster virtual node must have read permission as well.
This new pool will be named to “Win10AutoPool” and the Windows 10 VDI image will be assigned.
Step
Log on to the RDS Broker Server via administrator. Open Server Manager -> Remote Desktop Services -> Collections.
From “Task” on COLLECTIONS, “Create Virtual Desktop Collection”.
Next in “Before You begin” -> “Name the collection”, set the name to expected Pool Name. Example: Win10AutoPool
At “Specify the collection type”, set to “Personal virtual desktop collection”.
You will see that your VDI image VM appears. Select it and Next.
You can decide if the user can get the local admin rights on VDI once logging in. If you give the admin rights for the user owning the VDI, check “Add the user account to the local administrator group on ..”.
Next.
Specify the time zone and the OU where the computer AD account is created into while domain join.
example: OU=Workstations,OU=Computers,OU=Resources,DC=avalon,DC=toshitoshi,DC=net *You must prepare the OU prior.
Specify the number of VDI which will be created after this configuration. Also, specify the node name Prefix and Suffix. Above prefix can use the node name started from 10 to 19. Better to use 3 or 4 digits (like specifying KSWVD0000).
Select initial Hyper Visor node which will create the new VDI node at this wizard.
We are to store VDI VM machine data into Cluster Shared disk “C:\ClusterStorage\Volume3\RDS”. So, specify it and Next. *Make sure you created the folder. *Owner node of the shared storage is to be set to the node you selected in above step. *Folder permission has to be setup for allowing the basic system access.
Confirm the configuration. And “Create”.
If everything is fine, the initial VDI deployment will get progressed.
At the cluster node, you can see the image file is copied into the expected folder structure as the master image. It will be copied and deployed into the actual new VDI machines soon.
If you can see the virtual machine name, it says that the configuration is successful.
