You associate each VM Pool entry with one Desktop Application entry in a one-to-one relationship. A
Desktop Application entry cannot be shared between VM Pool entries, and a VM Pool entry can only be
associated with one Desktop Application entry.
The following table describes the aributes you must specify when you modify a desktop pool denition in
an LDIF conguration le.
Table 4‑1. Important Attributes for Defining a Desktop Pool
Entry Attribute Description
Virtual Desktop VM
VM Pool
Desktop Application
cn Common name of an entry. If you require names to be generated
automatically, specify globally unique identier (GUID) strings. You
can use any reliable GUID generator, such as the mechanism provided
by .NET (for example, by calling System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString() in
Visual Basic).
Desktop Application member A list of Active Directory (AD) users and groups who are entitled to
access the desktop pool. The aribute is specied in the form of a
Windows Security Identier (SID) reference. A member value of
<SID=S-1-2-3-4> represents an AD user or group with the SID value
S-1-2-3-4.
In LDIF format, the left angle (<) character is reserved, so you must
place two colons (::) after the aribute name and specify the SID value
in base 64 format (for example, PFNJRD1TLTEtMi0zLTQ+IA==).
Because this aribute is multivalued, you can use it on multiple lines to
represent each entry in a list of SIDs.
Sample LDIF Configuration File Desktop Pool Entries
The following example is an excerpt from an LDIF conguration le. It shows sample entries for a desktop
pool named Pool1, which contains two virtual desktops named VM1 and VM2. The desktop pool entry is
paired with the Desktop Application entry, which is also named Pool1.
