Examples
Example 1: Create a managed pooled virtual desktop collection
PS C:\> New-RDVirtualDesktopCollection -CollectionName "Virtual Desktop Pool" -PooledManaged -VirtualDesktopTemplateName "RDS-Template" -VirtualDesktopTemplateHostServer "rdvh-1.contoso.com" -VirtualDesktopAllocation @{"RDS-WKS-A26.contoso.com"=1;" RDS-WKS-A27.contoso.com"=2} -StorageType LocalStorage -Description "PowerShell created Virtual Desktop Pool" -UserGroups "contoso\domain users" -ConnectionBroker "rdcb.contoso.com" -VirtualDesktopNamePrefix "RDS-WKS-A" -VirtualDesktopPasswordAge 31 -UserProfileDiskPath "\\RDS-WKS-A26.contoso.com\uvhd" -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 10This command creates a managed pooled virtual desktop collection and specifies configuration settings for the virtual desktop collection. The command specifies the LocalStorage type for the collection, and specifies the virtual desktop template named RDS-Template for the collection.
