    This script is by far the number 1 most downloaded script. While fixing a few bugs, I decided to add a couple of features that I added to several other documentation scripts.

    #Version 5.05 1-Dec-2021

    • Added a test to see if $AdminAddress equals $Env:ComputerName
      • If they are the same, do not try and set up remoting since remoting is not needed
    • Added Function OutputReportFooter
    • Added Parameter ReportFooter
      • Outputs a footer section at the end of the report
      • Report Footer
        • Report information:

          • Script version: <Script Version>

          • Ran from domain <Domain Name> by user <Username>
          • Ran from the folder <Folder Name>
    • Added the missing section title for Policies and sub-section titles for IMA Policies and Active Directory Policies
    • Changed all Write-Host $(Get-Date) to add -Format G to put the dates in the user’s locale

    • Fixed several property tests in Function ProcessPolicies
    • Fixed text output in Functions OutputNicItem, OutputServer, and ProcessPolicies
    • Fixed HTML, Text, and Word/PDF output in Function OutputApplication
    • In Function AbortScript, add test for the winword process and terminate it if it is running
    • In Function OutputServer, if the server’s IP address is not present report “No data”
      • Usually is not present in PowerShell V2
    • In Functions AbortScript and SaveandCloseDocumentandShutdownWord, add code from Guy Leech to test for the “Id” property before using it
    • Removed Function Check-LoadedModule
    • Removed Receive Side Scaling from hardware inventory since it is not available in Windows Server 2008 R2
    • Removed the requirement for the Citrix.GroupPolicy.Commands.psm1 module file (Thanks to Guy Leech for the help)
      • Added the following functions from the module to the script and cleaned up the Citrix code
        • CreateDictionary
        • CreateObject
        • FilterString
        • Get-CitrixGroupPolicy
        • Get-CitrixGroupPolicyConfiguration

    • Updated Functions ShowScriptOptions and ProcessScriptEnd to add $ReportFooter
    • Updated the help text
    • Updated the ReadMe file

    I want to thank James Rankin and Patrick Damen for testing this update and providing feedback.
