Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Documentation Script V3.35

Version 3.35 16-Jul-2022

  • Added Broker Registry Key:
    • HKLM:\Software\Policies\Citrix\DesktopServer\MaxCompletedActionsToPurge
      • Type: int
      • Default: 700
      • Info: Minimum=100
      • Summary: Maximum completed power actions to purge in a single batch. This limit avoids timeouts/failures if for some reason huge numbers of actions have accumulated that need to be deleted.
      • The default value allows for about 2 million actions to be purged per day if needed (700 every 30 seconds).
    • HKLM:\Software\Policies\Citrix\DesktopServer\ParallelPowerStateReadMaxThreads
      • Type: int
      • Default: 5
      • Info: Minimum=0, Maximum=100
      • Summary: Maximum number of threads to use when reading multiple machine states from the HCL in parallel.
      • Note: (1) Value does not apply to HCL plugins that support bulk power state operations (e.g. Azure).
      • (2) For Cloud, value is capped at 1 as the RemoteHCL does not support
      • multiple concurrent operations, thus there’s no advantage in using multiple threads.
      • (3) A value of zero forces use of a simple loop for all such operations. This puts all machine state reads and database writes into a single thread. This uses the minimum resources but at the expense of throughput, and delayed database updates.
