Step-by-Step Instructions for WVD Desktop Pool Template VM

There are three registry entries that should be added to a host pool in a WVD environment 

Steps to take

• From the NAP, boot up the template by going in to Servers > select Manage Hosts button for the pool > select Power on to modify in the Template section
• Record the IP for the template host and wait for the template to finish powering on
• Login to FS01 as a domain administrator
• Once logged in to FS01, RDP to the IP of the template host using the same set of domain admin credentials
• From the template desktop, select the Windows key/start button and type regedit
• The registry path where values need to be added:
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles
  • 
• In the editor, right click and add new DWORD entries for each of the following and set the value to 1
  • DeleteLocalProfileWhenVHDShouldApply
  • PreventLoginWithFailure
  • PreventLoginWithTempProfile
• Verify that the VHDLocations and RedirXMLSourceFolder contains the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for FS01 (fs01.nerdio.int in the example above).  NOTE: If you've replaced the default nerdio.int AD domain name with your own, be sure to make the proper changes above in the VHDLocations and RedirXMLSourceFolder registry entries.
• Sign out of the template session
• Via the NAP, go to Servers > on the pool host select Manage Hosts button > in the template section select "Power off and set as image" button to commit changes
• Once powered off a new host can be added to the pool or updating existing host(s) can be performed to implement the above changes
