Created pool and using RDP as protocol. Can log in but on connect "server name lookup failed"

Using trial license of Horizon.

Running 8.2, installed vmware tools (7.1 iirc), horizon 8.2 agent, etc on a 20h2 virtual machine. Able to remote desktop in from the thin clients without issue.

Thin client is able to log into horizon without issue however when i try to log in the pool it gives the error above. Pool is set up for RDP access only. The horizon server cannot detect any issues with the VMs. Using an assigned user to a specific VM.

Only thing I can see that seems strange is if I edit the connection the pool provides under "hostname" it has the loopback up of 127.0.0.1 instead of the hostname of the desktop in the pool. Not sure if this is working as intended there.

I had to disable tunneling.
