To create a session desktop assignment, use the Assignments window after first verifying that your deployment meets the following prerequisites:

• A farm is configured to deliver remote desktops
• The intended farm is in the pod to deliver from
• The intended farm is not already assigned

2. In the Assignments window, click New.

In the New Assignment window, select Desktops.

2. Under Fixed Attributes, provide the following information:
   • Location: Select the location of the pod where the session desktops should be provided.
   • Pod: Select the pod.
3. Under Flexible Attributes, enter the Assignment Name, a memorable name to help end users identify this assignment, using only letters, hyphens, and numbers.
4. In the lower right corner, click Next.

1. In the Users tab, search users and groups in your registered Active Directory domains and select the ones for this assignment.
2. In the lower right corner, click Next.
