Expanding VDI Assignment/s

Overview

This article covers how to expand a pre-existing desktop pool within your Horizon DaaS Administrator portal so that you can deploy an additional VDI for a User.

You will need to ensure you have free desktop quota in order to deploy a new VDI, if you don't have spare desktop quota you will need to submit an order for more via our Partner Portal.

The Administrator portal can be accessed by simply putting /admin after the URL, e.g. the admin portal for contoso.anywhereaccess.com.au is https://contoso.anywhereaccess.com.au/admin

All DaaS environments have their own unique login portal and the authentication for the portals is managed by the Partners Active-Directory server, Hosted Network do not have direct access to manage the authentication for the Horizon DaaS Administrator portal.

Step 3. Tick the box to the left of the pool you wish to expand and then click the "Edit" button above the table
