Windows Server 2019 Training 29 - How to Deploy Microsoft VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)

[@michaelpietrzak2067]

Watching this today in Dec 2024! Great video and very well explained.

[@easydiy_beginners]

that's wonderful and 4 years over now, this video looks fresh for me. thanks for the video,

[@LabsHandsOn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cydmansg1979]

Fantastic, I followed your video and create VDI without any issue.

[@LabsHandsOn]

Glad to know

[@michaelmyers4484]

At 18:00 I ran into the problem that the role installation failed saying the RD-Virtualization Host role could not be installed on my VDI-host VM. The problem was that my VMs run on a physical Hyper-V server instead of VMWare and I needed to activate the virtualization features for my VDI-HOST VM by running the command "Set-VMProcessor -VMName VDI-HOST -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true" in PowerShell on my physical Hyper-V machine. In case anyone else following this tutorial is also using Hyper-V instead of VMWare and running into the same problem. ;)

Thank you kindly. I was worried I would hit a snag like this. You have no idea how much all this is gonna help

Thank you very much , for taking the time out and making this useful video,can't say in words how much helpful it for me. God bless you man.

You are very welcome

[@nelsonmassey5919]

Thank for sharing this Video, i have one question-- can we use one physical server for RDS+ VD Session Host deployment and how do we configure licensing

[@zingabana]

Very nice, detailed video.

[@LabsHandsOn]

You are welcome

[@lolhiyoko7832]

Can you by any chance make a video on how to put this online (using an FQDN and an SSL Certificate for https security?)

[@bd-technology9423]

Its really nice to have and quality video.

[@soporteib3139]

Hello, great video. What Windows 10 or 11 license must be used in the virtual machine so that it is later replicated on the virtual desktops? Or is it necessary to activate it later in each one with another license? When I run Sysprep with Office installed, I get an error when running it. Does it have to be a specific version and license? Thanks, best regards

[@CJM_Gaming]

Thanks bro. It is very helpful. It is the exact solution that I am looking for.

Hi, great tutorial. I have a question. When I get to creating a template for a Windows 10 machine, I can't get the network adapter to work. The status said undefined network but I have a IP address from the DHCP server and I was able to ping the host, but not the RDS or DC. Any help with the Virtual Switch Manager Setting? Thanks

[@cesarbehr251]

Vikas, how did you configure the DHCP scope on the AD machine, to give IPs to the VDIs? And how did you configure the Hyper-V Switch on the RD Virtualization Host in order to make it act in bridge mode, so that the VDIs are on the same network subnet as the "physical" servers? I was struggling with it; the VDIs are not able to connect to network, so I was required to put them in another subnet and create a New-NetNat + New-NetNatStaticMapping for them, which is obviously not good. Thanks in advance.

[@pablomoncayo6222]

Hi. Thanks for your videos. they are very useful. I have a couple of questions. 1. what specs has your physical machine. 2. How you are able to run Hyper V server as Virtual machine?

[@arism.accola7301]

Hi, is there a need to put HV01 also into the domain? I would like to have HV01 in my MGT LAN and the RDS01 in my Office LAN. Therefore I can not connect the HV01 with the RDS as they are in different LANs.

[@LabsHandsOn]

VLAN will not have any issue, you just need to make sure RDS Server is able to access hyper-v host from network and dns.

[@abulaith4485]

Hello, i am trying to add my Hyper-V host but i cant select it, it is domain joined and i have verified it on my DC. do you know what might be causing this? thanks friend

[@hectoralicea1233]

Excellent tutoríal, Thanks

[@Infesteringmole]

How about installing a powerful graphics card in my server and letting all the virtual desktops take resources from it? How do I allocate the video card to all my virtual desktop Window 10 installs? Thank you for the video series, I love them!

[@LabsHandsOn]

Thanks glad to know you like it... You need to enable RDS Virtualization Host

[@suvradebbiswas5696]

Thank you so much for sharing this type of video. I'm facing a problem to access the vdi from outside of the domain. I have already mailed you regarding the issue. can you help me about this?

[@aravindayyalasomayajula2931]

Golden image VM should be part of the domain?

[@LabsHandsOn]

No

[@lucaungarelli8865]

Do i need 2 physical server? I would like to install it on a single physical server, but when i deploy RD virtualization host i think i'll need another phisical server.

[@LabsHandsOn]

Yes you need dedicated RD Virtulozation host

[@lucaungarelli8865]

@@LabsHandsOn is there a way to install all in a single phisical server?

[@jarves1231]

A VDI once running cannot be used by another user? Say in your example you have 3 VDIs, if there are 100 users going to login to it will there be an overload on the resources?

[@LabsHandsOn]

Yes it you want 100 users to login in same time, then you need 100 VDIs.

[@jarves1231]

Labs Hands On can vdi be comined with remote session so the 100 users can login even if there are just 3 vdi? By the way for 1 session host with multiple user accessing thru rdp to the server does it require license? If so how many cocurrent connections?

[@stevencook8763]

@@jarves1231 The server licenses are sold in packs of 5 users. Also this can be problematic with licensing of MS office as this is a TERMINAL SERVICES offering that requires enterprise office licensing . So you cant use office 365 at all... Costing a ton since you can use 1 license on 5 devices per user and most people have a office pc and this VM..

[@enkemarcus6184]

Nice Work , but i have one Problem .... after the Step with the Sysprep the maschine is Shoutdown ... on my server manager i want to create a Collection i find Nothing ;( and also i have a Virtual Switch .... but i have no Internet Access on my Template is that important ? The Sytem has all Services on One System (its for my Training Projekt) because the Pandemic must be all Portabel , so i have a ESXI Hypervisor with Server2016 and on this Server2016 runs HyperV ;(((((

[@bombasticclot2785]

I rebooted the virtualization host and after that could not reconnect to the vm. Not sure if DHCP related. Do you have some advice pertaining to that.

I NEED YOUR HELP - VM guru guy. My lab has been taking too long time to finish up. I got stuck on this issue. Please help. I tried to add Hyper-V Manager on one Windows Server 2019 Virtual Server, which supposed to be a straightforward thing. But it came up with an error " Hyper-V is not configured to enable processor resource controls. On my research, I found Powershell command recommended to fix the problem "Set-VMProcessor -VMName -HwThreadCountPerCore ". But when I tried this on the VM, it failed. The physical host machine bios processor is virtualization enabled. How do I install Hyper-V manager on VM Server that I wanted to use for testing? if you find any solution to this, please post your solutions. Thanks

Great tutorial but honestly i feel like its a game of russian roulette as ive had no problems sometimes and problems other times.

Can you install windows server os for vdi instead of windows 10/11?

[@LabsHandsOn]

Yes you can

[@vitaminlbj]

@@LabsHandsOn how is this possible? When I create a windows server os template the vdi collection always fails. VDI deployment - supported guest OSes Windows Server 2016 or later RD Virtualization Host servers support the following guest OSes: Windows 10 Enterprise Windows 8.1 Enterprise Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
