<# .NOTES ------------------- EMail : Xavier.avrillier@ext.consilium.europa.eu Date : 8/5/2018 ------------------- .SYNOPSIS Change Pae-DirtyVmPolicy attribute of the ldap object of Horizon View Pools. .PARAMETER PaeDirtyVmPolicyValue paeDirtyVMPolicy=0: Mark virtual machines that were not cleanly logged off as Already used and block user access to them. This is the default behavior in View 4.6 and later releases. paeDirtyVMPolicy=1: Allow virtual machines that were not cleanly logged off to become available without being refreshed. View Client users can access these desktops. paeDirtyVMPolicy=2: Automatically refresh virtual machines that were not cleanly logged off. View Client users can access these desktops after the refresh operation is completed. .EXAMPLE PS C:\Users\hzn-user> Get-PaeDirtyVmPolicy | Set-PaeDirtyVmPolicy -PaeDirtyVmPolicyValue 1
