Updating using the XenApp SDK Update Resource Kit’ we will be able to have cmdlets to manage our Citrix XenApp6 environment from PowerShell, useful for automating our daily tasks using PowerShell scripts. For XenApp 5 we'll use XenApp Commands,

The first thing will be to install on one of the XenApp servers 6 'XenApp SDK Update', We took him down from the Citrix website, will install cmdlets for us: Citrix XenApp Commands, Citrix Group Policy Provider and Citrix Common Commands.

Interesting examples:

To export our XenApp apps 6 to an XML file (in order to have a 'type’ Backup): 'Get-XAApplicationReport * | Export-Clixml c:export.xml’

To import our applications if necessary: 'Import-Clixml C:export.xml | New-XAApplication’

In order to enable Session Sharing and therefore configure the applications with the same configurations, we can run in a script:
———————————————————————-
$apps = Get-XAApplication
Foreach ($App in $apps){
Set-XAApplication -Browsername $app.browsername -WindowType 100%
Set-XAApplication -Browsername $app.browsername -ColorDepth Colors16Bit
}
———————————————————————-

If we want to configure all or part of the applications against certain servers or Worker Groups, we will execute in a script:
———————————————————————-
$apps = Get-XAApplication
Foreach ($App in $apps){
if ($app.clientfolder -eq “Office automation”)
Set-XAApplication -Browsername $app.browsername -WorkerGroupName “SERVIDORES_OFIMATICA”
# o Set-XAApplication -Browsername $app.browsername -ServerNames “SRVCTX01”, “SRVCTX02”
}
———————————————————————-

Here We have a script that looks to see if we have the different applications configured with each other, Checking: if they are disabled, unassigned to users or servers (or servers that do not already exist), with different resolution, Audio Type, type of encryption or access control.

This other script Check the availability of our servers based on: ping, Alert for disabled logins, and checks the ICA port lifted and ICA Listener responding.
