Hi
I have created a two server VDI infrastructure using Server 2012 RTM I have one server hosting the RDS connection broker and RD Web Access roles and then a separate server with Hyper-V server installed hosting the server 2012 RD Virtualisation Host. I am hosting Windows 8 VDI images on these servers
When I create the virtual infrastructure from scratch I can created a new collection hosting pooled desktops and everything works no problem. The issue arises when I need to update the template and re-create all the desktops. For updating the desktops I am following the process below.
1- Make a copy of the existing desktop and then start it up in hyper-v and make my changes
2- Run sysprep with the /generalise /oobe /shutdown /mode:VM
3- Go into my Collection on my connection broker server and run the recreate all desktops task
4- Select my shutdown VM syspreped in step 2
At this stage I get an error stating "The virtual desktop must be in a stopped state: Could not identify the state of the virtual desktop. Ensure that the RD virtualisation host server is available on the network and the virtual desktop is shut down"
I have looked all over for errors in the logs and found nothing. It look connection related or maybe something to do with WMI but I have run connection test between the servers and everything is ok. The only solution I have found so far is if I remove the RD virtualisation host from my hyper-v server and then reboot and reinstall it then works again.
Can anybody help as I am running out of ideas on this one.
Thanks
