Change Horizon desktop pool display name using HV.Helper

[AlexP012]

Hi

I want to be able to update the display name on a Horizon Instant Clone desktop pool via script.

I've tried using the Vmware.Hv.Helper module and using the following code

Import-Module VMware.Hv.Helper

Connect-HVServer -server Horizon1 -domain 'domain.local'

set-hvpool -pool 'Pool1' -key 'base.displayName' -value 'Change The Display Name'

I get the error

set-hvpool : In pipeline did not get object of expected type DesktopSummaryView/DesktopInfo

At line:1 char:1

+ set-hvpool -pool 'Pool1' -key 'base.displayName' -value 'Change The Display Name ...

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Set-HVPool

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it possible to change the display name using set-hvpool and if it is does anyone know the key. I've read that the keys are case sensitive

Cheers

Alex

It is all about the case sensitivity. The eventually worked

Set-HVPool -PoolName 'Pool1' -Key 'base.displayName' -Value 'Change The Display Name'
