Assigning a template to a host pool (RD Session Host)

When you create RD Session Host host pools, you can assign a template to a host pool. This can be done when you create or modify a host pool, or it can be done from the Templates tab.

To assign a template to a host pool:

1. Go to Farm > Site > RD Session Hosts > Templates tab.

2. On the Templates tab, select a template.

3. Click Tasks > Assign to host pool.

4. Select the template version in the Version dialog.

5. A dialog opens listing existing RD Session Host host pools. Host pools that already have a template assigned are not shown in this list by default. To display them, select the Show host pools with assigned template option. The template that they are currently using is displayed in the Template column.

6. Select one or more host pools and click OK.

To remove a template from a host pool or host pool:

1. Select a template and click Tasks > Remove from host pool.

2. A dialog opens listing all host pools to which this template is assigned.

3. Select the host pools to remove the template from and click OK.

Note that if a host pool has hosts 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.
