Hello.
Since I upgraded to Horizon 8 I can't seem to be able to list all user assignments from my VDIs.
Get-HVMachinesummare only shows active sessions, not the users that are assigned to the machines.
In horizon 7 I used the "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\bin\PowershellServiceCmdlets.dll" and the command Get-DesktopVM to get this information but this broken is not available in Horizon 8.
I have also tried this way:
Get-HVMachineSummary not showing User info - VMware Technology Network VMTN
But it shows the same info as Get-HVMachinesummary, only active sessions.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Is it because I have manual assignments on the pool I'm querying?
Only being devil's advocate here, but the pool is dedicated and not floating correct?
Dedicated yes.
The rest api has the assigned user_ids, remember that you now can assign multiple users to a machine
VMware Horizon Server API - VMware API Explorer - VMware {code}
with those id you can get the users themselves using
VMware Horizon Server API - VMware API Explorer - VMware {code}
if you want to assign users you can use this script I blogged about: Powercli script to assign a dedicated Horizon machine to multiple users – Retouw.nl
Thanks, the restapi seems to be able to extract assigned users, but I ran into another issue.
If I use the HV.helper powershell module the property BasicState is different than what I get from the restapis machine state.
Restapi:
"https://servername/rest/inventory/v1/machines/$($Machine.ID)"
This shows almost all VDIs with the State "UNASSIGNED_USER_CONNECTED"
PSModule:
($HVMachineSummary | where {$_.base.name -eq "VMNAME"}).Base.BasicState
But if I use the powershell module it shows as "Connected"
any ideas?
that's probably someone in the module assuming something and fixing the wrong thing. I would believe rest a million times over that module.
