Run on a Citrix Delivery Controller as a user with at least read only Studio access to site and license data. It will highlight licenses due to expire within the specified number of days, to allow for the renewal process to commence, or where the maximum number of licenses is in use or has been exceeded.

Performs a test of all the technical requirements for HDX content redirection, which can potentially save bandwidth and CPU. The script's output provides the test results along with recommendations on components that need to be enabled or upgraded for content redirection to work.

Run on a Delivery Controller or where the CVAD PowerShell snapins are available, e.g. Studio is installed. User running the script must have sufficient permission to chage the enabled state of the selected delivery groups

Run on a Delivery Controller or where the CVAD PowerShell snapins are available, e.g. Studio is installed or on a machine with the DaaS Remote PowerShell SDK (for Cloud). User running the script for on-prem must have sufficient permission to change the enabled state of the selected delivery groups. For Cloud, CU stored credentials must have previously been saved for the local user running the script.

To use this script as an automated action where parameters cannot be passed, copy the script and set the $disable parameter in the Param() block at the top of the script to "true" or "false" depending on whether you are disabling or enabling delivery groups respectively.

The Cloud Customer Id or Delivery Controller is an optional argument which can be used when there are more than 1 credential file for the user running the script so that the correct Cloud customer can be chosen. When used on-prem, the parameter is used to tell the script what delivery controller to connect to when the script is not run on a DDC.

Show how recently (in number of days) delivery groups have had sessions launched from them, by checking the last used property for each machine in a delivery group.
Specify the minimum number of days last launched to show only delivery groups which have not had sessions launched within that number of days and optionally disable them. Specify 0 days to show all delivery groups.

Run on a Delivery Controller or where the CVAD PowerShell snapins are available, e.g. Studio is installed.

Query the selected delivery controller via OData to retrieve connection failure details for a specific user, or all users, within a specified number of days ago

This is a simple script that restarts the BrokerAgent service on a Citrix VDA. This is useful when VDAs become unregistered. It forces them to try to re-register to a Delivery Controller. In some instances a reboot of the VDA may be required, for everything else there's this SBA!

Logs off the selected user session

Show the client device Operating System type form for a specific user session.
Use this script without requesting the display of the Receiver version to get the results grouped by client OS (available only as a ControlUp Script Based Action).

Categorization of the Client OS is accomplished by querying the Citrix VDA or XA65 worker for the ClientPlatformId registry value in the appropriate Citrix ICA hive for that user session and follow the conversion described in this document:

Citrix Apps and Desktops (formerly XenApp and XenDesktop) introduced Adaptive transport which automatically chooses between TCP & UDP for the HDX sessions. This script will leverage the ctxsession command to display the current status of the active HDX sessions.

Show the configuration changes made in Citrix Studio in a given time window, optionally filtered on a specific user. Use this SBA to see if any changes have been made which might be affecting end users.
Arguments:
Start - optional time to show changes from. Can be specified as a date/time or as a number of units of time back from the present such as 7d or 1w where s=second,m=minute,h=hour,d=day,w=week,y=year (default is 7 days)
End - time to stop showing changes after. Can be specified either as a date/time or a number of units of time from the start value specified. (default is the current time)
If date/time values are used, they must be enclosed in double quotes, e.g. "02/02/2018 08:00:00"
Username - optional name of a user to just show changes for

Recurses AD groups found to show all user accounts with any access to Citrix Studio.
Needs to be run using an account that has at least read-only Studio access.
Use it to see exactly which users have access and what level.
Arguments:
User Name to Query - an optional username or regular expression to restrict the display to

If a name is specified as a parameter then only that account is reported on

Logoff disconnected sessions on the selected computer(s) which have been disconnected in excess of a given period, specified in minutes.
Arguments:
Disconnected period - the time in minutes over which a user must have been disconnected before they are logged off (default is 10 minutes)

Use quser.exe to find disconnected sessions on the chosen computer and order on the most recently disconnected, showing the user's logon time too.
Arguments:
Hours Back to Check - how far back to look for disconnected sessions so those disconnected before this time will not be included (default is 24 hours)

This script runs on the the target VDIXenApp computer. It will initiate a trace route command from the VDIXenApp machine to the client device. This will help identify which hop between the two devices has the highest latency.
TRACERT.EXE runs for a maximum of 5 minutes, after which the script times out.

Use this script based action to pull detailed information on the cache usage on Citrix XenDesktop 7.9 and above.

Checks the computer registry and displays current ICA Listener binding information - if ICA is enabled, displays the adapters to which ICA is bound

The script runs on the ControlUp Console computer and initiates an HDX connection against one or more XenApp servers in order to check the server's health. The script does not perform any actual login activity to the targeted XenApp server.

Get 'Load Index' summary of any Multi-Session XenDesktop/XenApp server at your site.
You will be prompted to specify a XenDesktop BrokerDDC and user who have
permissions to the site.

Recreate the local host cache of a XenApp Server

This disables DEP which is recommended by Citrix.

For a machine streamed using Citrix Provisioning Services, marks the device as down, resets the Active Directory machine account password and reboots the device. This action should be executed on a PVS server with MCLI PowerShell snap-in installed.

This will create a new XenApp published desktop. Please specify which domain account or group will have access to the desktop.

Adds the selected XenApp server(s) to a Worker Group

Remove selected server(s) from the list of servers on which a selected application is published

Enable XenApp Logon to the selected server

Disable XenApp Logon to the selected server. This state only persists until the next reboot.

Changes the XenApp Logon Mode for the selected server. Please enter one of the following states: AllowLogOns, ProhibitNewLogOnsUntilRestart, ProhibitNewLogOns, ProhibitLogOns

Removes the selected XenApp server(s) from a Worker Group
