I'm trying to use Hyper-V Server 2019 as a virtualization host. This fails.
I have 3 computers;
- domain controller
- Windows Server 2019, which will be RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access
- Hyper-V Server 2019, which will be RD Virtualization Host
When I attempt to install this using Server Manager, RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access installation succeeds, but RD Virtualization Host fails.
Investigating further, the feature is missing! Here's some PowerShell, confirming I am running Hyper-V Server 2019 (downloaded today, 3 July 2019), and the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host feature simply not there!

I would have expected to something like this, clearly showing "Remote Desktop Virtualization Host" as a component;
But that doesn't appear on Hyper-V Server 2019.
Hence...
Add-WindowsFeature –Name RDS-Virtualization
...simply doesn't work.
How do install "Remote Desktop Virtualization Host" on Hyper-V Server 2019?
