VMware.View.Broker

Powershell module for manipulating VMware Horizon View Connection Server

VMware PowerCLI provides module VMware.VimAutomation.HorizonView to connect with View connection server. Compared to origin VMware View PowerCLI (available as a Powershell snapin), this new module is not very easy to use. So I created this VMware.View.Broker module to provide more easy-to-use functions.

Function List

Connect-ViewBroker: connect to View Connection Server. Once the connection is established, the connection server is saved as $global:defaultBroker. All further actions will be taken against this broker.

Set-ViewLicense: set license key

Add-ViewVC: add a virtual center

Remove-ViewVC: remove one or more virtual centers
