A forum user asked if it was possible to use their own custom icon for desktops in StoreFront. While the icons are displayed within StoreFront, the actual icon management is done on a Delivery Controller.
Get-BrokerIcon | Select Uid | ft –auto
Load the icon with the following command:
Get-CtxIcon -FileName c:\icons\custom.ico | New-BrokerIcon
If you re-issue the Get-BrokerIcon command above, you should see the new ID (#13).
We now need to assign the icon to one or more delivery groups. Let's see what icons are currently assigned to the delivery groups:
Get-BrokerDesktopGroup | Select name, IconUid
Unless you've already made changes, most delivery groups will probably be using icon #1. To change the icon for a specific delivery group, issue the following command:
Set-BrokerDesktopGroup -name “Remote PCs” -IconUid 13 (the new icon added above)
