Publish Remote Desktop Services
We know that Jim has aging equipment and challenges working from different devices. We can publish a desktop for the A&E Radiology department that will allow the user through single-user desktop access to a single end-user connection at a time. In contrast, with session-based desktops, one RDSH server can accommodate many concurrent user connections.
In the first part "Publish the Virtual Desktop" we explored a Single-User desktop and the option available creating various types of pools for Windows-based single-user desktops.
The published desktop through RDS (Remote Desktop Service) will be covered in this module and will be a multi-user, multi-session desktop approach.

Desktop Pool Setting
We can enable the pool or just create a pool to be enabled at a later stage as we require more or different resources. The Pool can also be published into a category folder and restricted to a specific connection server. Think about the user in Europe HOL Healthcare that needs to be part of the France Connection servers and not the Spain Connection Servers. This is an example but the use case for Connection server restrictions go far beyond this. The same can be applied to the type of client connections.
