In the next series you will see how we can use the VMware Horizon API in combination with some Powershell modules to document the environment.
Part 1: Installing the necessary Tools and Powershell modules
First we need to install Powershell. There or several ways to do so but I tend to turn to Homebrew whenever I can.
Brew Install --cask powershell
PScribo: PScribo provides a set of functions that make it easy to create a document-like structure within Powershell scripts without having to be concerned with handling output formatting or supporting multiple output formats.
Install-Module PScribo
Next we will need the VMware modules. With the following command you get a list of the possibilities:
Find-Module -name VMware.*

We only need the one for VMware Horizon for now, let’s install it:
Install-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HorizonView
That’s all for now. In part 2 of the series we will set-up the credential and connect to the Horizon API.
