Adding a Windows 365 Pool

Pools can be assigned to tenants either at the time of tenant creation or after. After the pool is assigned, Windows 365 will assign machines to the users in that pool.

Info

The following restrictions apply to the user accounts performing this operation:

• Organization Administrators can add pools to all tenants.
• Tenant Administrators and Organization Users can add pools to tenants assigned to them.

To add a pool at the time of tenant creation:

• Follow the instructions described in Adding a Windows 365 tenant. Pool creation is described in step 7.

To add a pool after a tenant is onboarded:

1. Log in to Anyware Manager Enterprise.

2. Click the Windows 365 tenant you want to add a pool to, and click the Pools tab.

3. Click + Add Pool.

4. On the Select Site pop-up, select a site, and click Next.

5. On the Add Pool page, do the following:

   • Pool name: Enter a suitable name for the pool, and click Next.

     

   • Select device image: Select the appropriate device image, and click Next. Only Azure gallery images are supported at this time.

     

   • Select target Entra groups: Select the Entra groups to be assigned to this pool.

     

6. Click Create pool.

Once the pool is created, Anyware agents are installed on the Cloud PCs associated with the assigned Entra groups. Consequently, the Cloud PCs will appear under Machines on the pool detail page.

Info

At this time, only Standard agents are supported on Cloud PCs.
