A specific virtual machine that is hosted on a Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) server can be assigned to a user in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to use as a personal virtual desktop, which the user can then access by using RemoteApp and Desktop Connection.
The following are important considerations about assigning a personal virtual desktop to a user in AD DS:
- The user and the virtual machine must both be
members of an Active Directory domain.
- A user can be assigned only one personal
virtual desktop at a time.
- A virtual machine can be assigned as a
personal virtual desktop to only one user at a time.
- The functional level of your Active Directory
domain must be at least Windows Server 2008.
- The name of the virtual machine in the
Hyper-V Manager tool must match the fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) of the computer.
To assign a specific virtual machine to a user as a personal virtual desktop, use either of the following:
- The Assign Personal Virtual Desktop Wizard in
the Remote Desktop Connection Manager tool.
- The Active Directory Users and Computers tool
in Windows Server 2008 R2.

A virtual machine should not be both a member of a virtual desktop pool and assigned to a user as a personal virtual desktop. |
