How can I get the VMware View Agent version running on a VM with powercli or View Powercli?

You would use vdmadmin.exe which is available on your connection server in \Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\bin. 

vdmadmin -d <pool> -getversion

D:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\bin> vdmadmin -A -d pc10 -getversion
Agent Versions
Pool: pc10 Machine: pc1018 Version: 5.2.0 Install: 5.2.0 build-987719 Build: 17180
Pool: pc10 Machine: pc1010 Version: 5.2.0 Install: 5.2.0 build-987719 Build: 17180
Pool: pc10 Machine: pc1011 Version: 5.2.0 Install: 5.2.0 build-987719 Build: 17180
Pool: pc10 Machine: pc1012 Version: 5.2.0 Install: 5.2.0 build-987719 Build: 17180

Wrote a small Powershell script to make this easier here.

  • Really? I find it hard to believe the vmware.view.Broker snapin can't grab that info. Is there really no way to get this with the cmdlets? – red888 Apr 01 '16 at 13:21
  • This has a list of what's available via [PowerCLI and vdadmin](https://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.view.integration.doc%2Fview_integration_powershell.5.4.html) – colealtdelete Apr 01 '16 at 17:21
