Summary Report for Citrix XenApp Farms
November 4, 2013
PowerShell, XenApp, XenApp 5 for Server 2003, XenApp 5 for Server 2008, XenApp 6.0, XenApp 6.5
While speaking at the vCommunity events in the Northeast USA put on by Robert Morris and the fine folks at Advantec Global Services, Inc (http://www.advantec.us/), several script users asked if I could add a Summary Page at the end of the documentation script.
They said their managers often asked for data on how many administrators, published resources, policies, etc were used in a particular XenApp farm. That was easy to do so I added it while waiting to speak in Philadelphia. Some input from Mr. App-V Tim Mangan on the report layout and it was done. I am also making this Summary Page available as a separate script.
This script has no options and no parameters. It simply runs and creates a one-page report.
Here is a sample run from my lab XenApp 5 for Server 2008:

Carl,
Great work!
How can i run the script on a remote server? We have a management server without Word on it.
Can you help me?
Cheers,

Only XenApp 6.5 supports remoting.
Use Set-XADefaultComputerName.
