For the life of me, I am having problems creating a managed Windows 7 Vdi Pool under server 2012R2.
My RDS Virtualization server is running server 2012 R2 and I can create managed Windows 8 VM's quite easily. The trouble I am having is that when I create my Windows 7 VDI pool, I keep getting the error "The provisioned machine couldn't join the domain", but I can see the machine has been created, and it is listed in Active Directory, in the correct OU. My Windows 7 template has service pack 1 installed, the template joined the domain before it was sysprepped and generalized. I also made sure that the network card had the correct field in the DNS settings. The first machine is always created, and when I look at the machine in Hyper-V, I can see that it is at the log on screen asking me to sign in with Ctrl + Alt + Delete
This is my setup:
EDGE1.lab.local Server 2012R2 (RD Web Access, RD Virtualization Host, Rd Connection Broker)
IP: 10.0.0.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Primary DNS: 10.0.0.1
DC01.lab.local Server 2008 R2 (DC, DHCP, DNS)
IP: 10.0.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Primary DNS: 127.0.0.1
The other problem I am having is with my Windows 8 Pool.
RD Web Access URL: https://edge1.lab.local/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/login.aspx
This is the strange part. When I log on using my admin credentials in IE, or Chrome, I can see the Windows 8 Powered on VDI machine. When I click on the machine in Chrome I download the .RDP and try to run it. It just hangs. Looking at the address of the file, it is listed as Edge1.lab.local and I get the error Remote machine is not powered on etc....
If I edit the .RDP file that I downloaded to match the NIC address of the machine, (10.0.0.123) I can connect to it using RDS, but I'm thinking, this is not the way it is supposed to work. Any ideas?
The strange thing is that the machine works when I boot into it using RDS. Any thoughts?
Another issue I'
