This solution will deploy new session hosts to an existing host pool.
- Permissions: below are the minimum required permissions to deploy this solution
- User Access Administrator on the target Subscription
- Desktop Virtualization Host Pool Contributor on the resource group containing the target host pool
- Resources: this solution assumes the following items already exists:
- Resource group where session hosts will be deployed (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Host pool with an active registration token (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Key vault with the following secrets (created by AVD LZA baseline):
- VM local admin user password
- Domain join account password
- Disk encrpyption key (when enabling zero trust for session hosts)
- Virtual network for session hosts (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Optional: application security group for session hosts (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Storage account and file share configured for fslogix (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Optional: log analytics workspace configured with Azure Virtual Desktop insights settings (created by AVD LZA baseline)
- Optional: availability set for the session hosts (created by AVD LZA baseline)
