Assign Multiple Network Labels to a Desktop Pool
In View 5.2 and later releases, you can configure automated desktop pools to use multiple network labels. This
feature greatly expands the number of IP addresses that can be assigned to the virtual machines in a pool,
making it easier to create pools with a large number of desktops.
