NAME Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount



SYNOPSIS

Sets the maximum number of idle virtual desktops on host servers.





SYNTAX

Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount [-IdleCount] <Int32> [[-HostServer] <String[]>] [-BatchSize <System.Int32>] [-ConnectionBroker <String>]

[<CommonParameters>]



Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount [-Allocation] <Hashtable> [-BatchSize <System.Int32>] [-ConnectionBroker <String>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount cmdlet sets the maximum number of active but idle virtual desktops on one or more host servers. This cmdlet sets

the total number of virtual desktops that can be idle in all pools.



An idle virtual desktop is a virtual machine that is in a running state and there is no user logged on to it. Idle virtual desktops continue to

run even if you configured the pool so that the server saves a virtual desktop that is not in use.





PARAMETERS

-Allocation <Hashtable>

Specifies a collection of values (key/value pair) that allocate idle virtual desktops to Remote Desktop Virtualization (RD Virtualization

Host) servers.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-BatchSize [<System.Int32>]

Specifies the batch size.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept wildcard characters? false



-HostServer [<String[]>]

Specifies an array of names of the servers that host the session. For session collections the host server has the name of the Remote Desktop

Session Host (RD Session Host) server. For virtual desktop collections the host server has the name of the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host

(RD Virtualization Host) server.



Required? false

Position? 2

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IdleCount <Int32>

Specifies the number of idle virtual desktops.



Required? true

INPUTS











OUTPUTS











Example 1: Set the number of idle virtual desktops on host servers



PS C:\\>Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount -IdleCount 10 -HostServer @("rdvh-1.contoso.com","rdvh-2.contoso.com") -ConnectionBroker "rdcb.contoso.com"



This command sets the maximum number of active but idle virtual desktops on the host servers named rdvh-1.contoso.com and rdvh-2.contoso.com.





Example 2: Allocate idle virtual desktops to host servers



PS C:\\>Set-RDVirtualDesktopIdleCount -Allocation @{"RDS-WKS-A26.contoso.com"=2;" RDS-WKS-A27.contoso.com"=4} -ConnectionBroker "rdcb.contoso.com"



This command sets the number of idle virtual desktops for specific host servers. The command allocates 2 idle virtual desktops for the host server

named RDS-WKS-A26.contoso.com, and 4 idle virtual desktops for the host server named RDS-WKS-A27.contoso.com.
