Assigning a template to a pool or group

When you create VDI host pools (VDI templates) or RD Session Host groups (RDSH templates), you can assign a template to a pool or group. This can be done when you create or modify a pool or group, or it can be done from the Templates tab.

To assign a template to a pool or group:

1. On the Templates tab, select a template. Depending on the selected template type (VDI or RDSH) do one of the following:
   • VDI: Click Tasks > Assign to pool.
   • RDSH: Click Tasks > Assign to group.
2. A dialog opens listing existing VDI host pools or RD Session Host groups. Host pools and groups that already have a template assigned are not shown in this list by default. To display them, select the Show groups/pools with assigned template option. The template that they are currently using is displayed in the Template column.
3. Select one or mote host pools or groups and click OK.

To remove a template from a host pool or group:

1. Select a template and click Tasks > Remove from pool or Remove from group.
2. A dialog opens listing all host pools or groups to which this template is assigned.
3. Select the host pools or groups to remove the template from and click OK.

Note that if a host pool or group has guest VMs created from the template that you are removing, they will be removed as well. A message is displayed where you need to confirm the removal.
