Azure Environment: Linked Networks and Resource Groups

You may select additional networks that you want to link to be used in Nerdio Manager. Linked networks can be selected when adding desktop images, host pools, and session hosts. The Azure region of the selected network determines the location of the VM created in this network.

You may also select additional resource groups that may contain session host VMs and desktop images.

Note: You may also set the default network and resource group. The defaults are used when creating a new desktop image, host pool, or session host. The defaults may be overridden during the creation processes.
