Sample PowerShell Script to Delete Machines from the Connection
Server LDAP Database
You can customize and use the following sample script to delete machines that are not in a desktop pool
from the Connection Server LDAP database.
To copy and paste the script content without page breaks, use the HTML version of this topic, available
from the Horizon 6 documentation page at https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html.
If a machine in the input file is in a desktop pool, this script displays a message and does not delete it from
the LDAP database. To run the script, log in to View Connection Server as an administrator, create the script
and input files, and run the script from a PowerShell window.
NOTE Before running the script, take a snapshot of the Connection Server virtual machine in case it
becomes necessary to undo the changes from running the script.
