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.
