Disable Horizon Desktop Pool

Disables a Horizon Desktop pool

Can be used as an automated or manual action to disable a Horizon Desktop pool for planned maintenance.

This action should be executed against a Horizon endpoint machine (one which has the HZ Primary Connection Server column populated in ControlUp Console) which is part of the relevant Desktop Pool. The script uses the target machine to determine the connection server address and the Desktop Pool name, and is executed on the machine running ControlUp Console.

This script requires VMWare PowerCLI to be installed on the machine running the script.

PowerCLI can be installed through PowerShell (PowerShell version 5 or higher required) by running the command 'Install-Module VMWare.PowerCLI -Force -AllowCLobber -Scope AllUsers'

    .SYNOPSIS
    Enabled or Disables Horizon Virtual Desktop pool

    .DESCRIPTION
    This script disables or enables Horizon Virtual Desktop pool using Horizon SOAP API via PowerCLI

    .EXAMPLE
    Can be used as an Automated action to disable or enable Horizon Virtual Desktop pool.

    .NOTES
    This script requires VMWare PowerCLI  module to be installed on the machine running the script.
    PowerCLI can be installed through PowerShell (PowerShell version 5 or higher required) by running the command 'Install-Module VMWare.PowerCLI -Force -AllowCLobber -Scope AllUsers'

    Before running this script you will also need to have a PSCredential object available on the target machine. This can be created by running the 'Create credentials for Horizon scripts' script in ControlUp on the target machine.

    Context: Can be triggered from the Horizon Machines view
