Windows Virtual Desktop - The Hostpool shows an incorrect Name.
null null : thank you for clarification. The host pool itself is not reflected in the client application. It is more of a management concept.
For renaming the default name run this PowerShell Cmdlet:
Set-RdsRemoteDesktop -TenantName $tenant -HostPoolName $Hostpool -AppGroupName "Desktop Application Group" -FriendlyName "win10origsso"
I am sorry I didn’t explain my question very clearly.
What I want to say is the host pool name shows in the remote desktop client (Session Desktop) is different from the name I wrote in Azure Portal (like hostpooltest00).
For example, I created three host pools and signed the user to them.
But when I open the WVD remote desktop client, there are three PC logos with the same name as “Session Desktop” inside of the host pool name I created like HostpoolA, HostpoolB, HostpoolC.
Thanks.

Came across this thread with the same problem. In my case I did have a friendly name to the pool. Only difference is I had created the pool and assigned the friendly name via the GUI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/manage-resources-using-ui)
Powershell confirmed the friendly name was there so I was stumped. Decided to repeat the command via the Powershell to put gain the exact same friendly name and it worked. Looks like a bug to me in the GUI.
