Convert-LNK2DEMXML

Description

Create VMware Dynamic Environment Manager (XML) configuration files based on existing shortcuts (LNK).

Getting started

Open PowerShell and run the following script.

.\Convert-LNK2DEMXML.ps1

-- or --

Right-click the script in Windows Explorer and click Run with PowerShell.

Read the important notice and click OK to acknowledge the message or press Cancel to exit the script.

Select the source folder that contains the shortcuts (LNK files) you want to convert.

Select the target folder where you want to save the DEM XML files.

Copy the XML files to your DEM configuration share (one by one, or all in one).

The location you want to copy the DEM XML files to is typically something like \\server\demconfigshare$\general\FlexRepository\Shortcut.

⚠️ I recommend to test the shortcuts in a test or acceptance environment first, before putting in them in production.
