Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Documentation Script V3.41 (FINAL update by Webster)

Version 3.41 23-Jun-2023

It has been an honor and a privilege to provide the XenApp/XenDesktop/CVAD series of scripts to you since 30-Sep-2011.

None of those scripts would have happened without the help of Michael B. Smith, James Rankin, and Jarian Gibson. None of the scripts would have been released without the pressure, I mean encouragement, of Jarian.

  • Added Broker Registry Keys:
    • HKLM:\Software\Policies\Citrix\DesktopServer\AssignmentPolicyMaxDesktops
      • Type: int
      • Default: 5
      • Info: Minimum=1, Maximum=100
      • Summary: The maximum value accepted for the MaxDesktops parameter of the New/Set-BrokerAssignmentPolicyRule cmdlets. This is limited here because enumeration creates MaxDesktops AOFU resources – which if inadvertently set to a very large value impacts enumeration performance and also consumes large amounts of memory.

      • Type: int
