Like my previous script for monitoring a XenApp 6.5 Farm, this script is based on the scripts written by David Ott and Jason Poyner. I decided to add to these foundations and make it something that can be used throughout the day.

I created this as an easy way for Citrix Admins and others Admins and/or Users to get a quick look of the current XenDesktop and XenApp usage as well as the basic health of the XenApp Servers, Sessions, Latency, etc. I use it as an augment to Citrix Director. [More]

If you are like me and have Static, non-PVS, XenDesktop Workstation VMs that occasionally do not register, for whatever reason, I have a script for you. If you have Static, non-PVS, XenDesktop Workstation VMs that sometimes fail to launch, for whatever reason and your users do not get the "restart" feature or perhaps the restart feature doesn't always work, I have a script for you. If you do not have any Static VMs or any of these issues, I envy you. [More]

I have updated my script for testing Citrix Storefront or Netscaler and Storefront. The previous versions can be found here and here. I have modified the script so it handles errors better as well as added support for Storefront 3.6 and Netscaler 11.x. [More]

Since Citrix has released version 3 of Storefront, I needed to make an update to my original script, found here, to make it work with the latest Storefront release. I decided to make a few more modifications as well to provide more info. [More]

In a previous post, I shared a PowerShell script to launch a Published App from one or more servers. I originally wrote this script because one of my lab XenApp 6.5 servers would not launch a Published Application. When I investigated what the issue was I was unable to determine the cause. The IMA Service was started, ICA was listening and responding, there was no load issues, etc, etc. This server was basically healthy. [More]

In a previous post I had mentioned my "homegrown monitoring service" so today I thought I would elaborate and share it.

While looking for some sort of monitoring script for XenApp, I found an excellent script written by Jason Poyner, XenApp Farm Health Report, http://deptive.co.nz/xenapp-farm-health-report/.

His script does a Health Check and emails an HTML report. The script checks just about everything concerning a XenApp Farm. [More]
