Hi,

I noticed in the latest download of PowerCLI for "offline usage" (VMware-PowerCLI-13.3.0-24145081.zip) there is no HorizonView module anymore (VMware.VimAutomation.HorizonView). Has it been moved to another place or was just forgotten?

It looks like an oversight since the Release Notes don't mention anything.
The module is also left out in the PowerShell Gallery.

Did you open an SR?

Update: as suggested by @LucD I just opened a SR (number 35802103).

This is an update for whose having the same problem (some broken pipelines after the update).

Here the first answer of support:

I have checked and verified this internally.


Horizon has been sold as a product by Broadcom and it's not part of PowerCLI anymore. Hence, we have removed this module from the PowerCLI.

We no no longer support this module in PowerCLI.


Please let me know if you have any follow-up queries.

Is this real? How is is possible that a so important API has been removed without any announce?

Omnissa and Broadcom had announced that the collaboration would be stay to further support the whole VMware ecosystem, but this proves the contrary...

Has anyone other information?

I haven't fully tested this yet on all our scripts but it looks like the commands are the same in linked site below. Just have to copy them in and change the import-module commands in our scripts.
