Remove Horizon Desktop Assignment

This script unassigns a user from a machine. This will only work with dedicated desktop pools. It will receive the connection server fqdn, Desktop pool and machine names from the CU Console.

This action should be executed against a Horizon endpoint machine (one which has the HZ Primary Connection Server column populated in ControlUp Console). The script uses the target machine to determine the connection server address, 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
    Removes a desktop assignment

    .DESCRIPTION
    This script unassigns a user from a machine. This will only work with dedicated desktop pools. It will receive the connection server fqdn, Desktop pool and machine names from the CU COnsole.

    .NOTES
    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' Or by using the 'Install VMware PowerCLI' script.
    Credentials can be set using the 'Prepare machine for Horizon View scripts' script.

    The account that runs the script needs to have at least read only administrator permissions in Horizon View and permissions to create folders and add machines in ControlUP
    Some functions require Powershell 5.1 or higher
