EricFehn Base on my understanding ,WVD only provide persistent deploy methods.That means you have to maintain/install software on every virtual machines even you configue them in pooled configuration.
Or, you could install the software in the master PC,then deploy it again.

LillyZhao thanks Lilly, to deploy it again, what would i do? Would I duplicate the VHD and then create another vm and attachit to the new one?

Yes ,corrcet!
Or, you just insall the software in every individual virtual machines. I think that's a easier way.
Actually , when we use WVD, we need to think more about how to operate them more efficiently. In my case , I recommend enterprise customers to use Citrix Cloud with WVD, which makes MCS(Machine Creation Services) possible .
