Getting Network Names Of VDI Machines

Sometimes it is just good to have all the network names of your VDI and IP. This will get the VM name, network adapter, network name defined in vSphere, and IP.

# Script to get network names for VDI machines. This was tested with VMware 7.x, Citrix Cloud connection configured with the "default" profile, and VDI with single NIC.

What Do You Want? Information! : Getting Application Information And Exporting To CSV

You know you have a LOT of apps. But you want to know about 1 app in particular. You could go to Studio and look. You could peruse the various pieces and parts to and get what you want. Or…. you could just grab it via script. So that is what we gonna do here. We are going to present a grid view of the applications you have published, select one of them, and give you all the information you have room for! And, for an unlimited time offer, export to csv! This requires having setup your Citrix Cloud authentication and using your secureclient.csv to access.

Under My SSL Thumbprint

Wouldn’t you know it!? A vCenter certificate got changed out and now your hypervisor connector is showing it no worky. Come to find out you missed the email memo that the certificate was getting changed. Or you might’ve been busy and didn’t think too much of it. Well, now you have to get it fixed! What if there was a way to get that information quickly and easily so that you just had to do some copy / paste magic to resolve it? Well…. There is! This handy dandy little script will get those pesky thumbprints and kick them out as a csv so you can use them to update your connector in the XenDesktop database.

# A script to check SSL thumbprints on your Citrix hypervisor connections. This will get all of the thumbprints of your connectors and will get the SSL thumbprints of your vCenters if you happen to have more than one.
# This is for running on in-premise Citrix farm (7.x) on a Delivery Controller with 10.1.0 VMware.PowerCLI module and the Citrix SDK installed with VMware ESXi 7.0U1 or later. This also is ran in ISE. Get-SSLThumbprint function is from https://gist.github.com/lamw/988e4599c0f88d9fc25c9f2af8b72c92
# with the return $SSL_THUMBPRINT -replace '(..(?!$))','$1' changed from ending in '$1:' The instructions for changing the SSL thumbprint can be found at https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224551.
