Preface

Convert MFCOM scripts to PowerShell


We can convert our MFCOM Scripts to PowerShell using the MFCOM Script Searcher tool, available for download at http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125089.

This tool will help us to search existing MFCOM scripts and provide us with an alternate PowerShell cmdlet to perform a similar function. Also, the tool will show the syntax of the PowerShell and some examples.

To use the tool, download the file, decompress the .ZIP file, and run the .EXE file.

We need to set the location to search for the script file. Select the type of scripts we would like to search. Click the Search Files button. The application inspects the files located in the folder (and subfolders, if we enable the Search Subfolders checkbox) and returns PowerShell commands and examples.
