The Accidental Citrix Admin - The site for those who find themselves supporting Citrix involuntarily or accidentally
Probably the second most frequently asked question I receive about the various scripts is how to run a script as a scheduled task. I asked my most thorough script tester to document how he accomplished this task so a “regular” person could explain the process. This article is about how he accomplishes this task using his words and screenshots.

I was working with a customer that was an original Norskale customer. They were running VUEM 3.1 I started the process of upgrading to Citrix Workspace Environment Management (WEM). I upgraded all the components and it seemed to have no issues. I started trying to connect the clients and weird issues started to appear. The client would keep saying unable to connect to the broker environment. The logs showed errors regarding the VUEM Agent Monitor Sync is erroring. When running the AgentCacheUitlity, it would produce an error regarding VUEM Agent Monitor Cache failed. The cache would show that things were being downloaded and the agent performance optimizations would still apply and work.
In testing Citrix App Layering (Unidesk) in my lab, I wanted to install an SSL certificate on the Enterprise Layering Management (ELM) appliance. My first try didn’t go well, so I thought I would document the process I followed on the second try, which did work.
