wvd's Issues

If workspace resoucgroup and hostpool resourcegroup are different, then the script fails

Currently working with Marcel Eeken on implementing a Proof of Concept. We found that the script does not differentiate between the resourcegroup for the workspace and the resourcegroup for the hostpool and application group.
We recommend adding an option to the arm template to fill these out and to also include these as arguments in your script.
I also shared the changes with Marcel, he will inform you as well.

Missing ARM Template Custom Script about the add WVD Hosts to a host pool

Hi Freek, I follow this link https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-powershell-script-github-add-wvd-hosts-host-pool-freek-berson/ learn how to add WVD host to WVD host pool through PowerShell script

But one thing about the Custom Script of ARM Template. I'm a new learner of the ARM template. I want to use the ARM template for add the WVD host to the existing WVD pool. But I not familiar with the syntax of ARM template. Could you upload your version to this repository for the practices?
