.SYNOPSIS
Changes the amount of RDS hosts in an Horizon RDS Farm
.DESCRIPTION
This script changes the amount of RDS hosts in an Horizon RDS Farm
.NOTES
This script requires VMWare PowerCLI to be installed on the machine running the script.
PowerCLI can be installed through PowerShell (PowerShell version 5 or higher required) by running the command 'Install-Module VMWare.PowerCLI -Force -AllowCLobber -Scope AllUsers' Or by using the 'Install VMware PowerCLI' script.
Credentials can be set using the 'Prepare machine for Horizon View scripts' script.
