I had to create a script to backup the Citrix policies, in order to do this I had to use the Citrix.GroupPolicy.Commands.psm1. Before I could use them I had to install the XenApp SDK, because I had to run this script from every Citrix XA server I wanted to create an unattended install of the SDK. I added a zipfile with the extracted XASD60.exe here.
I found the following useful information on the Citrix blogs written by Michael Bogobowicz
One of our customers noticed that the balloon that pops up when a password is about to expire isn’t displayed properly while using RES Workspace Manager. I send them an old powershell script that checks Active Directory and sends an email when the password expire date is within 14 days.
One of my customers asked for a ‘self service tool’ for their users to remove Microsoft APP-V pkg files from their profiles. Because there’s no direct relation between the registry values and the location of the pkg files I had to be creative with a search within this script:
Yesterday I was at a customer who uses WDS, MDT in combination with RES Automation Manager to roll out Windows 7 workstations. We created a database in MDT to store the serial number, the mac address and the host name of a machine. This is used when deploying a workstation so the sys admins don’t have to fill in the computer name during deployment. One of the sys admins asked me if we could automate the action of putting the data in the MDT database so when a new machine is deployed it registers in the database without interaction.
Here’s just a little Powershell script to change the CDrom drive letter to another drive letter, most customers use a standardized drive letter for this type of drive.
