One who is ignorant of life did not know that this existed! I was looking for how to create lists of applications by filtering certain characteristics or with certain conditions until I found that XenApp has a command line! Well, a script execution shell, that allows us to perform anything under command! Just like Microsoft's PowerShell on its servers, XenApp has a PowerShell or also called XenApp Commands.

For example, a utility that can be given to it, With a command we can export all the information of the applications that we have published with all their features, Configured Users… and with another command we can import them. This as a backup is not bad at all!

The first thing to do would be to install Microsoft PowerShell on the Citrix XenApp server or Citrix Presentation Server if you don't have it installed, if we work on Windows 2008 Server would be installing the feature, and if it's a Windows 2003 Server, by downloading it from the Microsoft website.

Once installed, we need to download Citrix XenApp Commands from the website MyCitrix.

The installation has nothing, what it has is to learn all the commands with their parameters! So we install first,

…

List, Click on “Finish” To go out,

And we open “Windows PowerShell with XenApp Commands (CTP2)”

And the shell would open up to be able to execute any command, for example 'Get-XAApplicationReport’ it would get us a report from one or all or more applications, In addition, you can link to more commands or redirect the information that comes out of the shell to files..

It also has a magnificent help where we can see all the commands that are there and how they work! This is the list of commands:
