 <ref>https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2017/01/vmware-horizon-7-powercli-6-5.html</ref>It looks like vmware relies on the API to do most of the work with horizon. If you are not familiar with working with the API, like myself, this requires you to install additional scripts from github<ref>https://github.com/vmware/PowerCLI-Example-Scripts</ref>. In my case I had to change the execution policy to unrestricted as the vmware.hv.helper module was not signed. Fun stuff.
