The PowerShell script sets all configuration settings for OVF Tool at deployment time. Note that no password values or private key values are stored within the. This script runs OVF Tool in a fully supported way for UAG deployment. The script calls the OVF Tool command but validates the settings and automatically constructs the correct command line syntax. As this PowerShell script is delivered as a sample script, you can also adapt it as required for your specific needs although in most cases you won't need to modify it at all. For these reasons, we have developed a PowerShell script that can be used to deploy UAG and which overcomes the main difficulties of using OVF Tool directly on the command line. Many Windows administrators managing a VMware End-User Computing product environment need an automated way to deploy UAG in a secure, reliable and repeatable way and to have complete control over the settings. Also, it is not possible to validate the settings with OVF Tool and it is therefore very easy to make configuration errors such as setting an admin REST API password that doesn't meet the required complexity rules. It is also easy to introduce errors on the command line as the command syntax for OVF Tool used in this way can be difficult to get right. Whilst it is great to be able to specify all configuration settings in one go at deployment time, the downside of this is that the OVF Tool command line can become very long and complex. It is possible to deploy UAG in a vSphere environment using the VMware OVF Tool command. In that article I mentioned the ability to perform a scripted deployment of a UAG virtual appliance to perform a repeatable deployment where all settings can be applied in a way that allows UAG to be production ready on first boot. Unified Access Gateway (UAG) is a VMware virtual appliance which is used with several VMware End-User Computing products for VMware Horizon, VMware Identity Manager and VMware AirWatch.
