Set Horizon View Pool Entitlements Using Powershell Script

If you have a Horizon View environment were you need assign a large number of users or have a high turn over rate in some of your pools you will not want to use the GUI to do this task. As we all know using the GUI takes a very long time to do this task.
Requirements needed to run this script:

• Horizon View Environment must be running version 7.0.2 or newer
• PowerCLI
• Advanced Functions (Hv.Helper) Module - (Download)
• Text file with user names to be added to the pool

Below is the script to do this task.
