Get-CitrixAppServer.ps1 (Citrix Top 10)
This is pretty simple script. It is actually just an adaption from my Get-CitrixApplication.ps1 script posted at the bottom. There is a moment in time when you start thinking in terms of objects and stop thinking in terms of text output you are looking for.
This will make a huge difference in productivity and take you from constantly writing scripts to interactively getting the information you are after, but until you make the transition I will continue to provide scripts that do both
# Brandon Shell [MVP]
# www.bsonposh.com
# Gets All the Servers for Specific App
Param($app)
$mfApp = New-Object -ComObject MetaFrameCOM.MetaFrameApplication
$mfApp.Initialize(3,$app)
$mfApp.LoadData(1)
$mfApp.Servers | %{$_.ServerName}
Here is the script that I use to return an Application object.
# Brandon Shell [MVP]
# www.bsonposh.com
# Gets a Citrix Application Object.
Param($app)
$mfApp = New-Object -ComObject MetaFrameCOM.MetaFrameApplication
$mfApp.Initialize(3,$app)
$mfApp.LoadData(1)
$mfApp
Then from the commandline I would just do this
PS> Get-CitrixApplication.ps1 “Applications\MyApp1″ | %{$_.Servers} | %{$_.ServerName}
While this looks more complicated it is more versatile and easy to change. Lets say I want current User for this app instead.
PS> Get-CitrixApplication.ps1 “Applications\MyApp1″ | %{$_.Sessions} | %{$_.UserName}

I have tried this, but as soon as I hit the line “$mfApp.LoadData(1)” the script hangs. I have left it for 30 minutes and it never progresses. Any suggestions?
What Citrix Version are you using?
Brandon, how can I backup published app data? I understand that published app backups are possible using PowerShell Citrix modules. thanks
