Displaying Network Label Assignments Made for a Virtual Machine in vCenter Server
The netLabelAutoAssigns output displays the network label assignments that View Connection Server
reserves for the virtual machine. Additional network label assignments to other virtual machines can be made
in vCenter Server that are outside the control of View.
To see the network labels that are actually assigned to the virtual machine in vCenter Server, use the
-getNetworkLabel parameter with the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet.
In the command line, you must type a Boolean value of $true to enable the -getNetworkLabel parameter.
For example: -getNetworkLabel $true
The output of the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet displays the networkLabels parameter, which shows the NICs and
network label assignments that were made for the virtual machine.
N
OTE As a best practice, run the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet with the -getNetworkLabel parameter during
off-peak periods of vSphere utilization. The parameter is long-running.
The following example displays network label assignments made in vCenter Server for the virtual machine
1849 in the pool pool2.

Disable Automatic Network Label Assigments
To disable network label assignments on an existing pool that uses automatic assigments
1 Open the network label configuration file and set the enabled flag to enabled=false.
2 Save the file.
3Run the Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool or Update-AutomaticPool cmdlet with the
-NetworkLabelConfigFile parameter pointing to the updated configuration file.
Result:
When View provisions new virtual machines in the pool, View uses the network labels on the parent virtual
machine or template.
