Hi,
we are using Horizon 7.3.2 and PowerCLI 10.0.0.0 (before 6.5.4 but with same results).
I just want to disable several pools and don't want to go through the admin console, because this will take a lot of time.
So I used the command "Set-HVPool -PoolName "1531-28" -Disable", but I got the following error:
Exception calling "Desktop_Update" with "3" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument
ErrorMessage : Invalid value for member
ParameterName : automatedDesktopData.vmNamingSettings.patternNamingSettings.namingPattern"
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.Hv.helper\VMware.HV.Helper.psm1:6171 char:8
+ $desktop_helper.Desktop_Update($services,$item,$updates)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : VimException
Maybe the hv.helper has an issue, so I tried the same with the direct API approach, with the more or less same result:
Script (without the Connect-HV and other basic stuff):
function Get-MapEntry {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$Key,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$Value
)
$update = New-Object VMware.Hv.MapEntry
$update.key = $key
$update.value = $value
return $update
}
$Pools = Get-HVQueryResult -EntityType DesktopSummaryView
foreach($desktop in $Pools)
{
if($desktop.DesktopSummaryData.Source -eq "VIEW_COMPOSER" -and $desktop.DesktopSummaryData.Name -eq '1531-28')
{
$updates = Get-MapEntry -Key "desktopSettings.enabled" -Value $false
$disablePool = $viewapi.Desktop.Desktop_Update($desktop.Id, $updates)
}
}
Result:
Exception calling "Desktop_Update" with "2" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument
ErrorMessage : Invalid value for member
ParameterName : automatedDesktopData.vmNamingSettings.patternNamingSettings.namingPattern"

Can someone help me here?
