I needed a way to document Citrix FAS for a project. I want to thank those in the Citrix Community who tested this script and provided feedback to improve the script and the report.

This documentation script, being a new script, was used as a proving ground for the changes coming in the rewrites to the Active Directory and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops V3 documentation scripts.

1. The default output format is now HTML.
2. You can now output in multiple formats.
3. You can also email multiple reports.
4. The script makes extensive use of objects and hash tables.
5. All data is gathered and processed first and then the data is passed to output functions.
6. Michael B. Smith reworked the Text and HTML output functions.
7. Michael B. Smith provided the code to validate Active Directory computer, group, and user accounts without needing the Microsoft ActiveDirectory PowerShell module.
8. Michael B. Smith updated the Microsoft code for the Convert-ToSSDL cmdlet to give you human-readable text on the very cryptic Microsoft ACL and SDDL format.

Instead of the cryptic:

Name : Citrix_SmartcardLogon
ACL : O:S-1-5-21-765892123-4046736924-4110796963-519G:S-1-5-21-765892123-4046736924-4110796963-519D:PAI(OA;;CR;0e10c968-78fb-11d2-90d4-00c04f79dc55;;DC)(OA;;CR;0e10c968-78fb-11d2-90d4-00c04f79dc55;;S-1-5-21-765892123-4046736924-4110796963-1106)(OA;;CR;a05b8cc2-17bc-4802-a710-e7c15ab866a2;;DC)(OA;;CR;a05b8cc2-17bc-4802-a710-e7c15ab866a2;;S-1-5-21-765892123-4046736924-4110796963-1106)(A;;LCRPWPRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-765892123-4046736924-4110796963-1106)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;DA)(A;OICI;SD;;;DC)(A;OICIIO;FA;;;DA)(A;;LCRPRC;;;AU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY)(A;OICIIO;FA;;;CO)(A;OICIIO;FA;;;SY)

You get useful human-readable data thanks to the efforts of MBS.

On a side note, MBS was a huge help in getting the script completed that I list him as the script’s co-author.
