HI Gerry,

 

Best practice is to take your snapshot before the sysprep, patch it, snapshot it again, sysprep and redeploy the WVD pool. You can deploy to the same pool of servers, just make sure to enter the correct total of servers you want to obtain.

Deletion of the old servers can take place after deployment.

 

For Defender updates, you can create a scheduled task to execute the following:

    Thanks for the reply knowlite. I think that is probably the best option for pooled desktops, but for dedicated personal desktops where users will have local admin rights I'm note sure that is going to be the best solution? In the scenario I am looking at, there will likely be deviation on the personal desktops away from the initial 'master image' with respect to applications installed etc.
