Automate creation of azure virtual desktop
This cmdlet will create the host pool, workspace, and desktop app group. Additionally, it will register the desktop app group to the workspace. You can either create a workspace with this cmdlet or use an existing workspace
- New-AzWvdHostPool -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -Name <hostpoolname> -WorkspaceName <workspacename> -HostPoolType <Pooled|Personal> -LoadBalancerType <BreadthFirst|DepthFirst|Persistent> -Location <region> -DesktopAppGroupName <appgroupname>
Run the next cmdlet to create a registration token to authorize a session host to join the host pool and save it to a new file on your local computer. You can specify how long the registration token is valid by using the -ExpirationHours parameter.
- New-AzWvdRegistrationInfo -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname> -ExpirationTime $((get-date).ToUniversalTime().AddDays(1).ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffZ'))
After that, run this cmdlet to add Azure Active Directory users to the default desktop app group for the host pool.
- New-AzRoleAssignment -SignInName <userupn> -RoleDefinitionName "Desktop Virtualization User" -ResourceName <hostpoolname+"-DAG"> -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -ResourceType 'Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups'
Run this next cmdlet to add Azure Active Directory user groups to the default desktop app group for the host pool:
- New-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId <usergroupobjectid> -RoleDefinitionName "Desktop Virtualization User" -ResourceName <hostpoolname+"-DAG"> -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -ResourceType 'Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups'
Run the following cmdlet to export the registration token to a variable, which will be used later to register the virtual machines to the Azure Virtual Desktop host pool.
- $token = Get-AzWvdRegistrationInfo -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname>
