Chapter 3 Using View PowerCLI
NOTE The netLabelAutoAssigns output displays the network label assignments that View Connection
Server reserves for the virtual machine. To see the network labels that are actually assigned to the virtual
machine in vCenter Server, use the -getNetworkLabel parameter with the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet. See
“Displaying Network Label Assignments Made for a Virtual Machine in vCenter Server” on page 57.
The following example displays network label assignments for the virtual machine 918 in the pool pool2.

Displaying Network Label Assignments Made for a Virtual Machine in vCenter Server
The netLabelAutoAssigns output displays the network label assignments that View Connection Server
reserves for the virtual machine. Additional network label assignments to other virtual machines can be made
in vCenter Server that are outside the control of View.
To see the network labels that are actually assigned to the virtual machine in vCenter Server, use the
-getNetworkLabel parameter with the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet.
In the command line, you must type a Boolean value of $true to enable the -getNetworkLabel parameter.
For example: -getNetworkLabel $true
The output of the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet displays the networkLabels parameter, which shows the NICs and
network label assignments that were made for the virtual machine.
N
OTE As a best practice, run the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet with the -getNetworkLabel parameter during
off-peak periods of vSphere utilization. The parameter is long-running.
The following example displays network label assignments made in vCenter Server for the virtual machine
1849 in the pool pool2.
> get-desktopvm -pool_id pool2 -getnetworklabel $true
...
