Citrix XenDesktop Personal vDisk Stats using Microsoft Excel and PowerShell V2.1

Yeah, I know.  I just updated the script a couple of days ago and here is another update.  Well, I just couldn’t stand it that the script couldn’t support sending email over anything but the default SMTP port 25.  I just had to fix that but doing so required basing the script on PowerShell version 3.  The script now requires at least PowerShell version 3 and there are a couple of more parameters.

The script to document a Citrix XenApp 6 farm has proven to be very popular.  I had not always wanted to take the time to create a version of the script that would output to a Microsoft Word document because this script had not been downloaded very much.  But in the last few months, the script has been downloaded several thousands of times.  So I finally decided it was time to create a version of this script that creates a Word document.  Ryan Revord had taken the XenApp 6.0 version of the script and changed it to create a basic Microsoft Word document.  Ryan saved me a lot of work but I wanted improve on the document created by adding a cover page, Table of Contents and footer.  This article will explain the changes to the script to create a Word document.

Documenting a Citrix XenDesktop 4 Farm with Microsoft PowerShell

A customer site I was at recently needed their XenDesktop 4 farm documented.  Since I had already created PowerShell scripts to document the various versions of XenApp, I figured a XenDesktop script should be easy to create.  This article and the script were written for “SR” at the customer site.
