A View desktop pool is a collection of desktops that users select when they log in using the View client. A pool can be created based on a subset of users, such as finance, but this is not explicitly required unless you will be deploying multiple Virtual Desktop master images. The pool can be thought of as a central point of desktop management within View; from it you create, manage, and entitle access to View desktops. This chapter will discuss how to create a desktop pool using the View Manager Admin console, an important administrative task.
