Test Horizon Connections

Use these scripts to test VMware Horizon client connections. The idea with these simple scripts is that a user might be telling IT staff that "they can't connect" or "it's not working." These are simple scripts that can be run to collect useful information into a TestHorizonConnections.*.log file for sending to the IT staff.

The log file will get automatically created in the users Downloads folder. the * is a timestamp. The file will be named something like this:

  • TestHorizonConnections.2023-11-06T12_19_46.5917880-06_00.log

VertigoRay / Django: User Email Validation without a DB
Last active May 17, 2016 03:27
Typically, when you want to validate an e-mail address, you store an activation key and expiration date in the user profile table. So you can validate it one time. Then what? Just keep storing it forever? Clear it out and have the empty columns? I wanted a disposable key that didn't have to be stored in a database. This is my solution ... http:/…

VertigoRay / ForEachSpeeds.Tests.ps1
Last active August 22, 2021 15:39
Used Pester to do some speed tests, because the comments on my stackoverflow post (http://stackoverflow.com/a/16175967/615422) peaked my interest.
<#
Invoked the test with the following command, so that I could save the times take the average of each Context:
```posh
Invoke-Pester -OutputFile test.xml -OutputFormat NUnitXml
```
Then I did some math on the results as shown (yes, I use pipelines when not scripting):

VertigoRay / CatchLineNumbers.ps1
Last active January 15, 2017 06:01
The `$MyInvocation.ScriptLineNumber` variable is not the Current Line Number. It’s the Line number from where the function that you’re in was called. Actual line numbers can be caught for an error if you catch them. Used in this comment: http://goo.gl/7oeSEL
function a {
param(
[string]$UninstallString = 'thing'
)
$MyInvocation
Write-Host -Fore Cyan "$($here.File) $($MyInvocation.MyCommand):$($MyInvocation.ScriptLineNumber)"
b
try {
Throw('Thing!!!!')
