[Fborges555]

HI gurus

can I get help  modifying the power policy on a Horizon pool from power off to no action using powercli?

is this even possible 

Thanks a bunch

Did you try with

Get-HVPool -PoolName <poolName> | 
Set-HVPool -Key 'desktopSettings.sessionSettings.powerPolicy' -Value 'NO_ACTION'

I currently have no View environment in my lab to test, so the casing of the Key or the string for Value could be off.

I did chief but I git the following which is more than I can understand:

Set-HVPool -Key 'desktopSettings.sessionSettings.powerPolicy' -Value 'NO_ACTION'
Updating the Pool:  LunarPod
Exception calling "Desktop_Update" with "3" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument
ErrorMessage : Invalid member name.
ParameterName : desktopSettings.sessionSettings.powerPolicy"
At C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\VMware.Hv.Helper\VMware.HV.Helper.psm1:6524 char:8
+        $desktop_helper.Desktop_Update($services,$item,$updates)
+        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VimException

any though would be appreciated

Like I said earlier, I can't test.
The Key seems to be incorrect.

where do i get documentation to learn where to get this key like you come up with, how did you know how to even start with the 

desktopSettings

I have no clue, it is based on online examples and blog posts.
Your guess is as good as mine.
