Description

This cmdlet is deprecated, please use the Get-BrokerMachine cmdlet instead.

Retrieve shared desktops matching the specified criteria. If no parameters are specified, all shared desktops are enumerated.

Get-BrokerSharedDesktop returns configuration information only for shared desktops (a DesktopKind of ‘Shared’).

For information about advanced filtering options, see about_Broker_Filtering; for information about desktops, see about_Broker_Desktops.
