Vmware View 5.1 Refresh

Hi All

Id like to be able to schedule my linked-close pools to refresh back to the parent snapshot every week, on the weekend. Is anyone aware of such a scheduling method. Id rather not use the "refresh when user logs off function"

Regards

Steve

If it's a persistent pool you can schedule refreshes every 7 days.  If it's a floating pool you can look into using a powershell script to handle the refresh.   You could try something like the Send-LinkedCloneRefresh command and set it to run every week via a task scheduler.

Thanks for the answer.

I’ve been looking at the powershell scripts but have no idea where to start or how to run them. Do I need to create a batch file and run that from the task scheduler?

No, you don't need to do it via a batch file.   Here is a link with a method of setting it up.  http://www.virtu-al.net/2009/07/10/running-a-powercli-scheduled-task/
