Refresh Virtual Machines in Pooled DesktopsFrom time to time, you might may want to update software in the DVMs that belong to a collection. You can use Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), Active Directory, or any of the software deployment and management products to do so. For the Pooled Desktops collection type, an easier alternative is also available:
1. Create a new folder in VirtualCenter called Old DVMs or similar. (You might already have such a folder if you followed the instructions in Organize DVMs, Templates, Folder in VirtualCenter.)
2. Move all the old DVMs into the Old DVMs folder.
3. Update the template used for the Pooled Desktops collection type with the changes. From now on, any new virtual machines that you clone that template will also have these changes.
4. After all users log off the virtual machines that are in the Old DVMs folder, one by one delete the virtual machines in that Old DVMs folder.
