Hi
I have 12 pools in View server. Enumerating the desktops using "Get-DesktopVM" for these pools seems very slow in a powershell script. I'm passing pool_id to Get-DesktopVM cmdlet as argument in a loop with list of pool ids. Is there any recommendations available / hotfix to speedup this enumeration? If the underlying vCenter is constrained on resources, will it affect this behavior?
How long time does it take?
It is currently taking nearly 15 mins to enumerate the desktops (1500+ to 1800 Max).
View uses LDAP as it's backend datastore, and it is possible to directly query that.

Here is an example that I wrote last year to get all desktop VMs in a pool, It will connect to the View LDAP environment, search for all desktops in a specific pool, and verify that they're using the right snapshot. Take out the snapshot part, and you can do an equivalent to Get-DesktopVM.
