Windows Server 2012 VDI Standard Deployment Create Virtual Machine Collection

This blog post describes how to create a virtual machine collection. Before creating a collection, we first need to confirm which type of collection to create, in Remote Desktop Services

In the service, provide two sets of virtual machines: personal and shared. In addition, it is divided into managed and unmanaged according to whether it automatically creates and manages virtual machines. Because

This virtual machine collection has the following four combinations:

1. Manage the shared virtual desktop collection

The so-called hosting is to automatically create and manage virtual machines. Therefore, a virtual machine template needs to be prepared; the so-called shared set is that when the user connects to the set, a temporary virtual machine is allocated to the

user, so that only the idle virtual machine can be allocated and used to achieve virtual Machine sharing effect.

2, hosting a personal virtual desktop collection

need to prepare a virtual machine template; the so-called personal collection, that is, when the user connects to the collection, is to assign a dedicated virtual machine to the user, so when After a virtual machine is assigned to a user for the first time, the virtual machine becomes dedicated to that user, even if it is idle, it will not be assigned to other users.

3, unmanaged shared virtual desktop collection

The so-called unmanaged, is to manually create and manage virtual machines, so you need to manually prepare each virtual machine, and then add to the virtual machine collection.

4, unmanaged personal virtual desktop collection
need to manually prepare each virtual machine, and then added to the virtual machine collection.

Here is the main introduction to the creation of the first two collections, the steps are as follows:

1, open “ server manager & rdquo;, click on the left side of the list "remote desktop services",

2, enter the remote desktop service overview interface, click “ create virtual machine collection & rdquo;, as shown below:

3, open the create collection wizard, click Next, < Br>

4. Enter the name of the collection, click Next,

5. On the collection type selection interface, select which collection to create. Types,

The first type is a managed shared virtual machine desktop collection, which is selected as follows:

The second type is a managed personal virtual machine desktop collection, select as follows :

6. Select a virtual machine template, click Next,

7. User Assignment Interface (The first type of collection does not have This step), this is the configuration of the second type of collection, when the user connects to the virtual machine for the first time

whether to automatically allocate the virtual machine, here select “ enable automatic user allocation &rdqu o;, as shown below:

8, specify the virtual machine settings, select the default settings here, click Next,

9, specify the time zone And organizational unit (organizational unit needs to be created in AD in advance), click Next,

10. Specify which users and user groups have access rights to connect to the collection, click Next ,

11. Specify the total number of virtual machines to be created in the collection, click Next,

12. Specify the virtual machine storage path Here, select the local RD virtualization host (physical machine) disk, click Next,

The interface of the first collection type is as follows:

The second collection type The interface is as follows:

13. Specify the user profile storage path (the second collection type user profile is stored in each user-specific virtual machine disk, so there is no such step ), this is the first type of collection configuration, you need to specify the disk path of the local RD virtualization host (physical machine), click Next,

14, confirm the selected configuration letter , click "Create”,

15. During the creation of the collection, the virtual machine will be exported from the virtual machine template, and then the virtual machine will be started for a series of operations, such as: Assign an IP address, automatically join the domain, etc., the specific steps are as follows:

a. Exporting virtual machine ……

See hyper-v The movement in the manager:

b. After the virtual machine is successfully exported, start the virtual machine ……

There is one more virtual machine just created in the v manager, and it is starting up running, performing a series of configurations ……

When the first virtual machine is configured, Then create a second virtual machine, and start running, perform a series of configuration … …

c. The collection is created successfully!

After the collection is created, we can open the "Remote Desktop Service" in the Server Manager to view the structure diagram in the overview, you can see all the created sets

Combined, as shown below:

This article has been written here, has been completed, the next section will introduce how users connect to the virtual machine collection.
