.SYNOPSIS
Refreshes a Linked Clone in Horizon
.DESCRIPTION
This script will issue the Refresh command for a Horizon Linked Clone.
.NOTES
This script requires the VMWare PowerCLI (minimum 6.5R1) module 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'
Before running this script you will also need to have a PSCredential object available on the target machine. This can be created by running the 'Create credentials for Horizon View scripts' script in ControlUp on the target machine.
Context: Can be triggered from the Horizon Sessions and Machines view
