I found this sample script in the PowerCLI documentation for View4.5.
I tried it but it's not working though.
# AddRemoveVMs.ps1
# Functions for adding and removing VMs in View Pools.
# WARNING: These functions manipulate the ADAM directory directly, which may cause faults in an environment if used incorrectly.
#### Add a VM to a pool
#### Parameters:
#### $VMObject:Virtual Machine object for VM to be added (obtained from Get-DesktopVM)
#### $pool_id:Name of pool to which VMObject should be added
#### Example Usage: AddVMToPool (Get-DesktopVM -Name <vmname>) <pool_id>
