  Any help would be much appreicated.

@Anupthegeek:

1. The script can't find data that needs to be generated in advance by vmUsage.ps1, therefore the variables are empty and you see these errors.
2. I think you are missing the VMware Horizon Powershell modules because of the ObjectNotFound error or the expression on the right needs to be placed in parentheses.
3. This seems to be running on a different computer. Your powershell execution policy on this one does not allow to run the script.
4. The pipes are missing in the file, so something went wrong while copying the script or so. The line should look like this: https://github.com/SethosII/vmware-vdi/blob/master/scripts/lastLogin.ps1#L23.
