All Documentation Scripts Have Been Updated 4-Jun-2014
June 4, 2014
Active Directory, NetScaler, PowerShell, PVS, XenApp, XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2003, XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2008, XenApp 6 for Windows Server 2008 R2, XenApp 6.5 for Windows Server 2008 R2, XenDesktop
All current scripts have had an -AddDateTime Parameter added. This has been requested by a few testers so I decided it was time to add it.
.PARAMETER AddDateTime Adds a date time stamp to the end of the file name. Time stamp is in the format of yyyy-MM-dd_HHmm. June 1, 2014 at 6PM is 2014-06-01_1800. Output filename will be ReportName_2014-06-01_1800.docx (or .pdf). [Webster: for the DHCP script, also .txt] This parameter is disabled by default.This parameter has been added to the Active Directory, DHCP, all XenApp versions and the two XenDesktop scripts under development. This keeps all documentation scripts consistent in their functionality.
NOTE: All scripts are continually updated. You can always find the most current versions by going to https://carlwebster.com/where-to-get-copies-of-the-documentation-scripts/
Thanks

Hello Carl. I running the script directly from my PVS server(W2K12R2) PVS 7.1. When I try to use the -PDF option, it insists that I still install MS word. Also, when I try the -html switch, I receive a write-error, writeerrorexception..pointing to line:1 char:1. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Jeff

From the Help Text:
.PARAMETER HTML
Creates an HTML file with an .html extension.
This parameter is disabled by default.
This parameter is reserved for a future update and no output is created at this time.
The PDF option uses the Word SaveAs function to save the Word doc as a PDF file. That is why using the PDF option requires that Word be installed.

Hi Carl,
Very nice scripts 🙂 but on my XenApp 6.5 labserver the XA65_Inventory_V41.ps1 takes a very long time to run – about three hours!? Any idea why?
Best Regards,

I have tried to run this remote to my PVS servers and get this:

To use the PVS script remotely against a PVS server, you need to look at the following three articles:
https://carlwebster.com/using-my-citrix-pvs-powershell-documentation-script-with-remoting/
https://carlwebster.com/pvs-v2-documentation-script-has-been-updated-17-jun-2013/
https://carlwebster.com/error-in-the-provisioning-services-7-0-powershell-programmer-guide-for-windows-8-and-server-2012/
Those should help resolve any issue you may have with remotely running the PVS documentation script.
