expands the basic example and shows how to modify objects, handle multiple objects and groups, and manage default settings.
demonstrates how to manage published resources and use filtering options.
demonstrates how to add a Provider, and publish a desktop from a VDI Template.
demonstrates how to retrieve status information of an RDS, Gateway, Broker, Site and Provider.
demonstrates how to manage RAS Agent operations.
demonstrates how to add an RDS Template and use it in an RDS Group.
demonstrates how to promote a backup Connection Broker (Broker) when the primary Connection Broker is down.
