When updating the Display Name for different VDI Delivery Groups, the updated name doesn`t display 
 

 

1. To use a published name defined in an assignment rule rather than a published name of delivery group, set machine to PublishedName 
   • PublishedName Changes the name displayed to the user for this desktop. When this setting is $null, the name displayed is determined by the PublishedName of the desktop group.
2. If you wish to change that name fully, you should run script similar to this: Get-BrokerDesktopGroup -Name "DG Name" | Set-BrokerDesktopGroup -PublishedName "Name desired"

Problem Cause

Scenario #1: When starting a desktop from machine pool, Desktop Assignment Rule works.
Scenario #2: When allocating a machine with Citrix Studio, Desktop Assignment Rule does not work. Since Desktop Assignment Rule does not work, assigned machine's PublishedName is not changed. Since assigned desktop's PublishedName is NULL, delivery group's PublishedName is used based on design. As a result, user encounters the phenomenon.

Conclusion: What is different between #1 and #2 is that the scenario #1 is an automatic assignment based on assignment rules, but the scenario #2 is a manual assignment which is not based on any rules. This is expected behavior.
