You must run some PowerShell plug-in workflows to complete the process of adding physical machines and non-vSphere virtual machines to desktop pools using the Horizon vCenter Orchestrator plug-in.
Note: As an alternative to running the PowerShell workflows listed in this procedure and the Register Machines to Pool workflow, you can run the Add Physical Machines to Pool workflow, available in the
Workflows/Example folder.
Prerequisites
- Verify that you have the vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In for Microsoft Windows PowerShell, which contains the workflows required for this procedure .
- Verify that you have administrator credentials for the Orchestrator server. The account must be a member of the vCenter Orchestrator Admin group configured to authenticate through vCenter Single Sign-On.
- Run the Register Machines to Pool workflow to register all machine DNS names into manual unmanaged desktop pools in View. The Register Machines to Pool workflow returns a token (one for each registered DNS) that will be pushed into the Windows Registry of the machines when you run the PowerShell command described in this procedure.
