I have updated the XenDesktop / XenApp 7.x PowerShell Documentation Script. Next to a small bugfix I have added the Documentation of the Hosting-Connections. Thus the following things are now documented:

• General Site Informations
• Logging Settings
• Licensing
• Controllers
• Databases
• Administrators
• Machine Catalogs
• Applications
• Hosting
• Storefront Servers (not the StoreFront Config)
• App-V Server

The following main thing is missing:

• Policies

Files

The script is divided into two files:
jhmeier-xd7-xa-7.x-documentation-v04.ps1
en-US.xml

The first file is the script himself, while the second file is for an easy modification of the script-output for other languages.

Script Usage

To use the scripts a few prerequisites must be fulfilled:

• XenDesktop / XenApp PowerShell Extensions
• Microsoft Word
• XenDesktop / XenApp Admin Account (with at least Read privileges)
• PowerShell Execution Policy
• The script and the language file need to be in the same location.

That should it be – just execute the script. The script starts and creates an (invisible) Word-Document in the background. When it’s finished it saves the document with the name XD-XA-SITE-NAME.docx in the script folder.

Parameters

The script supports (but doesn’t need) the following parameters:
-TextLanguage en-US
If you don’t want to have an output in the default language (English) you need to define the wanted language. Attention: Therefore you need a separate language xml file – see Language Files.
-DeliveryControllerAddress DeliveryControllerFQDN
If you run the script without this parameter it tries to connect to localhost – but if that’s not a Delivery Controller you need to specify it

Language Files

If you run the script – without creating a language specific xml file – the output looks like this:
Description: Description in the System language
If that’s ok for you – you have nothing to do – but if you prefer a complete output in your language like (in German):
Beschreibung: Beschreibung in Deutsch
you need to copy the file en-US.xml and rename it to e.g. de-DE.xml. After that open the new file with an editor of your choice. You now find a lot of entries which look like the following:
<Description>Description</Description>
Now you need to translate the middle for every necessary line so that it looks like this:
<Description>Beschreibung</Description>

License

The script is published under the GPL.
