Desktop Allocation
This workflow entitles the user to the specified desktop pool and, for dedicated-assignment pools, assigns a
machine to the user (depending on availability). A new machine is provisioned for the user if the pool type
is "specified naming."
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, user name
Results
n
For floating desktop pools and session-based pools from RDS hosts, the user is entitled to the
pool.
n
For automatically assigned dedicated pools, the user is entitled to the pool and assigned to an
available machine (if any).
n
For dedicated pools that do not use an automatic naming pattern, a virtual machine is
provisioned for the user with the name the administrator specifies.
Desktop Allocation for Users
This workflow entitles multiple users to desktops in floating-assignment pools or RDS desktop pools. For
dedicated-assignment pools, this workflow entitles and assigns multiple users to machines f(depending on
availability).
New machines are provisioned for users if the pool type is "specified naming."
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, user names, machine names (for specified naming pool)
Results
n
For floating desktop pools and session-based pools from RDS hosts, the users are entitled to the
pool.
n
For automatically assigned dedicated pools, users are entitled to the pool and assigned to an
available machine (if any).
n
For dedicated pools that do not use an automatic naming pattern, virtual machines are
provisioned for users with the names the administrator specifies.
Limitations
n
Machines are provisioned line by line. If the workflow fails for one machine, the others will not
be provisioned.
n
If you select a specified naming pool, to add a new line in the text box for adding machine
names, so that you can add multiple names, press Ctrl+Enter. If you press only Enter, instead of
adding a new line, the workflow is submitted.
Desktop Assignment
This workflow allows a delegated administrator to assign a user to a specific virtual machine and,
optionally, entitle the user to the machine, and allows a delegated administrator to also remove an
assignment for a user from a specific virtual machine, all in the same workflow.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, machine name, user to assign, user to unassign
Results Desktop assignments can be added and removed in the same workflow.
Desktop Entitlement
This workflow allows a delegated administrator to entitle users to a desktop pool and to remove users'
entitlements.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, users to entitle, and users to unentitle (selected from a default list)
Binding requirements
For the vSphereWebClient folder, the administrator must bind this workflow to a pool and pod.
Results Entitlements can be added and removed in the same workflow.
