Hi Jose I got this below error Get-ADGroupMember : Directory object not found At line:1 char:30 + ($PoolEntitlments | foreach {Get-ADGroupMember $_.distinguishedName}) +                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (CN=ab test05,OU...ten,DC=co,DC=jp:ADGroup) [Get-ADGroupMember], ADIdentityNotFoundExcep    tion     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException,Microsoft.ActiveD    irectory.Management.Commands.GetADGroupMember After I run the below code $entitledusers = ($PoolEntitlments | foreach {Get-ADGroupMember $_.distinguishedName | where {$_.objectclass -eq 'user'}}).count I have installed the RSAT module.

Thanks for your quick reply. Will this cript work even when you have multiple AD groups entitled to same pool? Will it query the user count by adding members in all the AD groups to fund the total entitled users count?

I will try your script. It seems to do what I am looking for. Is it possible to include below conditions in the script: 1. I have around 18 full and linked clone pools. I like to query all the pools at same time once in a day and expand pool size if their are no VMS available. 2. In addition to entitling the pool to the AD groups their are some pools that have individual users entitled to it. How can we modify script to include these 2 conditions? Visan.

Hi Magneet Your command works great. It's just the vdi VM must be in powered on state and available. If thetvm is powered off or in a disconnected state than it gives erroe. But its not so big issue as I can power cycle the VMS before deleting them. Thanks for your quick response. Visan

Magneet Thanks for your quick reply. The desktop pool type is "Automated Desktop Pool" Can we remove the VM without querying the desktop pool id? I am able to create list of user name and the vm name to delete. I get below message. c:\$services1.Desktop.Desktop_RemoveMachinesFromManualDesktop((get-hvpool -poolname testpool02).id,(Get-HVMachine -MachineName tpool02-003).id) Exception calling "Desktop_RemoveMachinesFromManualDesktop" with "2" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument ErrorMessage : Desktop should be manual type ParameterName : id" At line:2 char:1 + $services1.Desktop.Desktop_RemoveMachinesFromManualDesktop((get-hvpoo ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VimException
