This script requires Horizon 7 PowerCLI - https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2020/01/vmware-horizon-7-powercli.html
Updated May 7, 2021
This is a PowerShell script that uses PowerCLI and the View-API to query Horizon sessions. You can search for sessions by user and log them off, disconnect them or send them a message
Run Manage-Horizon-Sessions-ByUser.ps1
Login to Horizon Connection Server
Choose 1 to Login to a Horizon Connection Server
-
Enter the FQDN of the server when prompted to "Enter the Horizon Server Name" hit enter
-
Enter the Username of an account with Administrative access to the Horizon Server you are connecting to when prompted to "Enter the Username" hit enter
-
Enter that users Password and click enter
-
Enter that users Domain and click enter
You will see that you are now logged in to Horizon - click enter to go back to the menu
Return Horizon Sessions By Username
Choose 2 to return Horizon Sessions. You will be prompted for the username to search for.
If you enter an invalid username or the user has no sessions you will be shown that no sessions could be found for that user
If there are sessions you will shown the number of sessions also with details.
You will now be presented with a menu to manage the sessions you can:
- Logoff all sessions for the user
- Disconnect all sessions for the user
- Send all of the users sessions a message
- Exit without making changes
Select a number to proceed with that action.
3 - Send a Message to all sessions for user - you will be prompted for what message you would like to send.
When you click enter you message will be sent and output will show which sessionIDs it was sent to
2 - Disconnect all sessions for user
When you select this option, all of the users sessions will be disconnected and you will receive output on which sessionIDs it was applied to
After we run that action we can look at the sessions again and see they are disconnected.
1 - Logoff all sessions for user
When you select this option, all of the users sessions will be logged off and you will receive output on which sessionIDs it was applied to
If we search again for sessions for this user, you can see that there are none.
