n
Query the state of View services.
You can use the cmdlets in conjunction with the vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets, which provide an administrative
interface to the VMware vSphere product.
For more information, see the VMware View Integration document.
Modifying LDAP Configuration Data in View
When you use View Administrator to modify the configuration of VMware View, the appropriate LDAP data
in the repository is updated. VMware View stores its configuration information in an LDAP compatible
repository. For example, if you add a desktop pool, VMware View stores information about users, user groups,
and entitlements in LDAP.
You can use VMware and Microsoft command tools to export and import LDAP configuration data in LDAP
Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files from and into VMware View. These commands are for advanced
administrators who want to use scripts to update configuration data without using View Administrator or
View PowerCLI.
You can use LDIF files to perform a number of tasks.
n
Transfer configuration data between View Connection Server instances.
n
Define a large number of View objects, such as desktop pools, and add these to your View Connection
Server instances without using View Administrator or View PowerCLI.
n
Back up your View configuration so that you can restore the state of a View Connection Server instance.
For more information, see the VMware View Integration document.
Using SCOM to Monitor View Components
You can use Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) to monitor the state and performance of
VMware View components, including View Connection Server instances and security servers and View
services running on these hosts.
For more information, see the VMware View Integration document.
Using the vdmadmin Command to Administer View
You can use the vdmadmin command line interface to perform a variety of administration tasks on a View
Connection Server instance. You can use vdmadmin to perform administration tasks that are not possible from
within the View Administrator user interface or that need to run automatically from scripts.
For more information, see the VMware View Administration document.
