Assigning a template to a host pool (Azure Virtual Desktop)
When you create a host pool and set its provisioning type as Template, you need to assign an existing template to it. This can be done when you create or modify a host pool, or you can assign a template to a host pool on the Templates tab.
To assign a template to a host pool:
- Select a template and click Tasks > Assign to host pool.
- Click Tasks > Assign to pool. A wizard opens.
- On the Versions page, select the template version that will be assigned to the host pool.
- (Optional) On the Host pool page, select the host pools that you want to recreate on schedule and click the Configure button. You will see a dialog that allows you to schedule recreation. Configure the schedule according to your needs and click Next.
- Click Finish.
To remove a template from a host pool:
- Select a template and click Tasks > Remove from host pool.
- The Remove from Host Pool dialog opens listing all host pools using the selected template.
- Select one or more host pools to remove the template from and click OK.
- Note that if a host pool has hosts, they will be removed. You will see a message and need to confirm the removal.
- If one or more host pools are being locked by another administrator, you will also see a message and will have to repeat the operation later when a pool is unlocked.
