Carl, I have a solution for users who get the Import-Module : A drive with the name ‘XDHyp’ already exists error.

If this happens, close your powershell window and open a new one. add-pssnapin *citrix* then set-xdcredentials……. then do a get-psdrive. if xdhyp shows up in the list run: remove-psdrive xdhyp then run the cc_inventory_v1.ps1

it will work this time.

Carl,
I ran into the error for…
# “Import-Module : A drive with the name ‘XDHyp’ already exists.”

I was able to resolve this by opening a new elevated Powershell window, then running…

# get-psdrive

if XDHyp is in the list, then run…

# remove-psdrive XDHyp

Then Set-XDCredentials, and then run the script again.

This resolved the issue for me.

In reply to Kenneth Laury. I have asked my two main PowerShell mentors if they have any advice. Webster

We are using DAAS and I like the section part of your script. I want to run the script from a batch file , but because I’m using about 4 parameters from the Section the commas is causing my entries from being validated. I get something like Groups, is not a valid entry. The other thought was to try to hardcode parameters into the script, but limited knowledge of PowerShell is not helping. If you could give me any kind of help, I would appreciate it.

In reply to Matt Moffat. It looks like Citrix changed it from Hosting. to HostingManagement. Try that.

I am using citrix daas and there are quite a few of the set-brokerserviceconfigurationdata options that I am wanting to configure. However, many of them return an error saying:
“Configuration data setting name is unknown.”
FullyQualifiedErrorId : Citrix.XDPowerShell.Broker.UnknownConfigurationDataSetting,Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.SetBrookerServiceConfigurationDataCommand

2 examples of where I am seeing this is with
Set-BrokerServiceConfigurationData “Hosting.MaxRegistrationDelayMin” -settingvalue 45
Set-BrokerServiceConfigurationData “Hosting.MaxTimeBeforeStuckOnBootFaultSecs” -settingvalue 900

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Sincerest apologies if this is not the right setting for this question. Either way though, I am massively grateful for your documentation and information.

Hey Carl,

thanks for this, but it generates an error when running against current Citrix Cloud
“Unable to import the Citrix.Host.Commands module”

I have the latest SDK and Policy Snap-In installed
