Overview of this book

This third edition of Implementing VMware Horizon 7.7 has been updated to get you up to speed with VMware Horizon 7.7 by showing you how to use its key features and deploying an end-user computing infrastructure for your own organization. The book begins by guiding you on how to deploy all the core requirements for a VMware Horizon infrastructure. It then moves on to show you how to provision and administer end-user computing resources using VMware Horizon. You’ll not only be able to deploy the core VMware Horizon features, but you’ll also be able to implement new features, such as the Just-in-Time Management Platform (JMP) and the Horizon Console. You’ll also focus on the latest features and components of the Horizon platform and learn when and how they are used. By the end of the book, you will have developed a solid understanding of how your organization can benefit from the capabilities VMware Horizon offers and how each of its components is implemented.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use Horizon PowerCLI to configure and administer VMware Horizon using the command line, which provides us the ability 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 on to the Horizon connection servers.

We continued by looking at 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.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to use the Horizon Windows group policy templates to configure various Horizon settings.
