2) Create a Computer Pool

Creating a computer pool is a two-step process:

Create the pool

• Click the Add button in the Computer Pools section.
• Enter a pool name.
• Choose whether to enable Multiple Streams:

• Enable Multiple Streams
  Allows multiple users to connect to the same cloud PC within the pool at the same time.
• Disable Multiple Streams
  Restricts access so only one user can connect to a cloud PC at a given time.

Assign computers and users

After creating the pool:

• Assign one or more computers to the pool.
• Assign the users who should have access to the pool.

This determines which users can connect to the computers within the pool.

3) Edit a Computer Pool

To edit an existing computer pool:

• Select the pool you want to modify.
• Click Edit in the top-right corner.

From the Edit screen, administrators can:

4) Delete a Computer Pool

To delete a computer pool:

• Open the computer pool you want to remove.

Deleting a computer pool does not delete the computers themselves. It only removes the pool configuration and access assignments.

A pop-up will appear to confirm deletion of the computer pool.
