Using the XenDesktop® SDK


As mentioned, the XenDesktop SDK contains PowerShell snap-ins for XenDesktop that are installed automatically when the controller or Studio are installed.

To run a XenDesktop cmdlet, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the controller with an administrator account.

  2. There are two ways to launch PowerShell, as follows:

    • From the Windows start menu, navigate to Start | PowerShell

    • From Citrix Studio, navigate to PowerShell | Launch PowerShell

  3. In the PS c:\> prompt, type Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted and Answer "Y" to the prompt.

  4. Load individual PowerShell snap-ins; for example, Add-PSSnapin Citrix.AdIdentity.Admin.V2.

  5. Load all Citrix PowerShell snap-ins using the Add-PSSnapin alias, asnp Citrix.*, as shown in the following screenshot:

Note

The SDK snap-ins are located on the Delivery Controller in the \%Program Files%\Citrix directory.
