Slide Deck: Automating #XenApp using #PowerShell @ #DCUG

Today I talked (in German) about automating #XenApp using #PowerShell at DCUG in Freiburg. I’d like to share the short slide deck as well as the code for my extensive demos. DCUG is a Citrix User Group event held in German and is organized by Roy Textor.

Either click the image above or this link to download the slide deck for automating #XenApp using #PowerShell.

I covered the following topics with a heavy focus on making changes to many servers at the same time with or without throttling:

• Why Citrix Studio does not help you being faster in your job
• A short introduction to PowerShell
• Basic PowerShell cmdlets to get you started
• Treat your servers as cattle not as pets
• Extensive introduction to the XenApp PowerShell API
• Using PowerShell remoting to import cmdlets from a remote machine

Demos

Although the slides show a lot of examples how to use the XenApp PowerShell API, I have covered even more code in my demos which are available on GitHub.
