How to add a new host to WVD hostpool?
- You should find your answer here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-powershell
Scroll down to the section create virtual machines for the host pool.
EvdL99 I tryed it, too. Didn't work...
The steps i've made are:
- Create a VM with the same image as the other VM
- Join VM to Domain
- Installed WVDA and entered token from Export-RdsRegistrationInfo
- Installed WVDABootloader
When i try to login via RD-App (original VM off) it says "no available resources". Shouldn't the VM be addet to the AvailabilityGroup in the ResourceGroup or at least the loadbalancer somehow?

W_Palm : Can you go to PowerShell and run Get-RdsSessionHost for your host pool? Can you see if your session host VM is listed there?
- some steps in this direction? I'd like to create an master image from a WVD and then reuse tat image for other VMs but no way to switch the new WVD to other HostPoolName ....

Braguzz : Is the use case to "expand" the host pool with a few more VMs based on the same image? Or is it to "replace" the host pool with a new number of VMs based off a new image?
To "Expand":
- Re-run the Provision a host pool Azure Marketplace offering or Create and provision WVD host pool GitHub ARM template.
- Use the same "rdshNamePrefix".
- For the number of VMs, enter the new total you would like to have. If you are expanding from 3 VMs to 5 VMs, enter 5.
To replace:
- You can run the Update existing host pool GitHub ARM template (entering the details for the updated image). or
- You can run the create templates but provide a new "rdshNamePrefix"( Provision a host pool Azure Marketplace offering or Create and provision WVD host pool GitHub ARM template) then later remove the old VMs
