Preface

Summary


In this chapter, we reviewed how to use Horizon PowerCLI to configure and administer VMware Horizon using the command line, which provides us the capability to script or automate various tasks.

We started out by learning how to enable SSL-encrypted remote management on our Horizon Connection Servers, which enables us to use Horizon PowerCLI remotely rather than needing to log in to the Horizon Connection Servers.

We continued by reviewing each of the Horizon PowerCLI commands, seeing examples of how those commands are used to configure and manage the Horizon infrastructure, including the desktops, desktop pools, and the Horizon Connection Servers themselves.
