====== Windows Virtual Desktop ====== * WVD ====== Notes ====== * WVD is a newer/better way to provide virtual desktops than traditional Remote Desktop Services (RDS). It removes a lot of the complexity of deploying RDS. ====== Quick-n-dirty ====== * //Validation environments (pools)// are a separate pool of VMs from the production VMs that allow Windows updates to be tested for a subset of users before being released to the production pool. * //Host pool type// can be personal or pooled. Pooled takes advantage of Win 10 multi-session capabilities to allow a single VM to host multiple sessions. * //Desktop app groups// allow you to limit access to defined groups of apps as opposed to providing access to a full Windows desktop.
