Syntax

Move-RDVirtualDesktop
    [-SourceHost] <String>

Description

The Move-RDVirtualDesktop cmdlet moves a virtual desktop to a new Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) server.

Examples

Example 1: Move a Virtual Desktop to a new RD Virtualization Host Server

The first command enables Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the destination host. The **Enable-WSManCredSSP** cmdlet delegates the client credentials to the delegate server.
PS C:\>Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role "Client" -DelegateComputer * -Force

The second command enables CredSSP authentication on the source host. The **Enable-WSManCredSSP** cmdlet delegates the server credentials to the delegate server.
PS C:\>Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role "Server" -DelegateComputer * -Force

The third command gets a credential object based on the user name and password that the user enters. The command stores the results in the **$Creds** variable.
PS C:\>$Creds = Get-Credential

The fourth command moves the virtual desktop named "RDS-WKS-A2" from the source host named "rdvh-1.contoso.com" to the destination host named "rdvh-2.contoso.com". The command uses the credential object stored in the **$Creds** variable.
PS C:\>Move-RDVirtualDesktop -SourceHost "rdvh-1.contoso.com" -DestinationHost "rdvh-2.contoso.com" -Name "RDS-WKS-A2" -Credential $Creds

This example moves a virtual desktop from one RD Virtualization server to another. The commands run on the RD Connection Broker and move virtual desktops from the source host to the destination host.

Parameters

-ConnectionBroker

Specifies the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) server for a remote desktop deployment. If you do not specify a value, the cmdlet uses the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the local computer.
