Export list of view users

[BSheets]

I am looking for a way to export the current list of users that are assigned to a VDI. I have tried through vdmadmin.exe and can gather lists of VDI's or full information for single users but not just a list of all the users for each pool or for the entire server. Either one would be fine, once I have it exported I can break up the lists.

Assuming you don't need to do it through a script or command line, you can do it through the View Administrator portal under 'Users and Groups' and then clicking the 'Save' (floppy drive) on the top right.

Thank you for the reply. The method described will provide an export of any directly entitled user, however I have groups entitled so it will not show who is assinged to a desktop that does not have direct entitlement.

If there is a way to export all assigned users from an entire cluster or signle pools, that is what I need.

Thanks

Earl - Thanks for your reply. I did find what I needed. If I just clicked on Desktops then I can use that Save button and get a list of all desktops with the user assigned.

BSheets,

I just created the following powershell script to automate a list of current users assigned to vms which get's updated nightly via scheduled task.  The output is a standard CSV with "vm,username" formatting.

Make sure View PowerCLI is configured properly on the Connection Server which you wish to run this script on.

. “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\extras\PowerShell\add-snapin.ps1”

$vms = Get-DesktopVM

foreach ($vm in $vms){

     if($vm.user_displayname -ne ""){
          $vmName = $vm.Name
          $user = $vm.user_displayname
          $data = $vmName+","+$user
          $list += $data+"`r`n"
     }
}

$list | Out-File -FilePath "c:\Desired Path\viewUsers.csv"

Hope this helps,
