Remotely Managing vmware view pool users with power shell

 

1. Install the system patch of power shell V2.0 on the client. The patch number is KB968930, which includes winrm and powershell 2.0.

 

2. Set the view connection server to a trusted host of winrm:

 

Ps c: \ set-item wsman: \ localhost \ Client \ TrustedHosts-value 'IP'

 

3. Create a connection and assign it to the variable:

 

Ps c: \> $ remote = new-pssession-computername 'IP'-credential administrator

 

4. view the module of the view connection server:

 

Ps c: \> Invoke-Command $ remote {get-pssnapin}

 

5. Add the Vmware view module to the power shell:

 

Ps c: \> Invoke-Command $ remote {add-pssnapin vmware. view. broker}

 

6. Add the user to the authorization list of the pool:

 

Ps c: \> Invoke-Command $ remote {get-user-name 'username' | add-poolEntitlement-pool_id 'poolid'

 

7. Delete the user from the pool authorization list:

 

Ps c: \> Invoke-Command $ remote {get-user-name 'username' | remove-poolEntitlement-pool_id 'poolid'

8. Delete the connection MPs queue from the remote server.

 

Ps c: \> remove-pssession $ remote

2. Retrieve password:

 

Ps c :\> $ password = get-content C: \ pass.txt | converconverter-securestring
