Chapter 3 Using View PowerCLI
Smart Card Authentication Settings
Table 3-13 shows the settings that you can use with the -smartCardSetting parameter to specify how users
with smart cards are authenticated. These settings apply to Update-ConnectionBroker, and do not have any
effect unless you also specify -UseSSLClient $true with Update-GlobalSetting.
View Composer Maintenance Task Types
Table 3-14 shows the settings that you can use with the -composerTask parameter to specify a View
Composer maintenance task type that is scheduled on a virtual machine.
Examples of Using View PowerCLI Cmdlets
The View PowerCLI cmdlets allow you to perform View operations from the command line or from scripts
instead of using View Administrator. The following sections contain examples that you can adapt and apply
to your own systems.
