Problem using vdmadin to pre-assign desktops to users

Hi all,

I'm attempting to use vdmadmin to pre-assign desktop VMs to users before first login with the following command:

vdmadmin -D -d VDI01 -u domain\VDI1

and get the error:

Error: Desktop entry for "VDI01" not found.

The desktops are ready and I can sign into them fine. Anybody know what I might be missing here?

UPDATE: I've found that I can use the above command with a pool name and it works, but get the error if I try to assign a particular VM. Does it not work when trying to assign a user directly to a VM, rather than just the pool?

Looks like I was using the wrong command, should have been:

vdmadmin -L -d AINTERNET -m VDI02 -u nplpub\VDI2

That's what works anyway....
