Description
The New-BrokerDesktopGroup cmdlet creates a new broker desktop group that can then be used to manage the brokering settings of all desktops within that desktop group. Once the desktop group has been created, you can create desktops in it by adding the appropriate broker machines to it using the Add-BrokerMachine or Add-BrokerMachinesToDesktopGroup cmdlets.
Desktop groups hold settings that apply to all desktops they contain.
For any automatic power management settings of a desktop group to take effect, the group’s TimeZone property must be specified. Automatic power management operations include pool management (power time schemes), reboot schedules, session disconnect and logoff actions, and powering on assigned machines etc.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
Create a desktop group to manage the brokering of private desktops, which will appear to users with the name “MyDesktop”.
New-BrokerDesktopGroup "Assigned Desktops" -PublishedName "MyDesktop" -DesktopKind Private

-UseVerticalScaling
Determines whether to use vertical scaling when considering RDS machines in the desktop group for launches. Vertical scaling would saturate machines in the current pool rather than send sessions to the least loaded machines. This would be a trade in performance vs. cost, where vertical scaling would be less costly.
With the default value ($null), the site-wide value will be inherted. A value of $false indicates that horizontal scaling should be used.
