Creating a host pool with PowerShell / WVDAdmin
Deployments of Sess ion Hosts▪ Deployment from the Azure Market place
▪ Vanilla images or syspreped images▪ Have to enter all parameters, like domain credentials, WVD SP, OU, …▪ Limited flexibility; fails if DSC extensions cannot be loaded from the internet (policies, proxies,…)▪ Experience for admins :-/
▪ Deployment from PowerShell▪ You can do anything in a high automated way▪ You need PS know-how and have to work with the Azure resources directly▪ High flexibility▪ Experience for admins ☺
▪ Deployment with WVDAdmin (free community tool)▪ Like deployment from PowerShell with a friendly GUI▪ Build-in image creation process from template VMs (re-usable)▪ Experience for admins ;-)
