The following commands will not be covered in this chapter, as they are used to create and manage desktops and desktop pools for vSphere VMs that are managed by vCenter servers that are not linked to Horizon, VMs deployed on third-party virtualization platforms, or even physical computers. As such, these commands are not used in the majority of Horizon environments. Regardless, the syntax for these commands is very similar to the following commands, and any other information that we need can be obtained using the PowerCLI Get-Help command:
- Add-ManualUnmanagedPool: Used with VMs from any source, or even physical computers. The Horizon agent must be installed on these computers.
- Get-DesktopPhysicalMachine: Returns a list of physical desktops registered with Horizon that were added to a manual unmanaged pool.
- Update-ManualUnmanagedPool: Updates the configuration of a manual unmanaged Horizon desktop pool.
The following commands will not be covered in this chapter as they are no longer supported by Horizon:
- Add-TerminalServerPool
- Get-TerminalServer
- Update-TerminalServerPool
