In Citrix XenApp 6, there are various command-line utilities available for server management that can be used as an alternative to the Citrix Delivery Services Console. These command-line utilities include altaddr, app, auditlog, change, ctxkeytool, ctxxmlss, dscheck, dsmaint, enablelb, icaport, imaport, and query. The altaddr command specifies the alternate IP address of the server, while the app command runs the application execution shell. The auditlog command generates server login and logout reports, and the change command is used to change the assignment of the client device.
Additionally, the ctxkeytool command generates the farm key for IMA encryption, and the ctxxmlss command changes the Citrix XML service port number. The dscheck command validates the integrity of the farm datastore, while the dsmaint command is used to maintain the farm datastore. The enablelb command enables load balancing for servers that fail health monitoring tests. The icaport command configures the TCP/IP port number used by the ICA protocol on the server, and the imaport command is used to change the IMA ports.
Furthermore, the query command allows users to view information about server farms, processes, ICA sessions, and users. This command uses a set of additional nouns to identify which XenApp component should be queried for data. The nouns include query farm, query process, query session, query term server, and query user. These command-line utilities are available on every server running Citrix XenApp 6.
It is important to note that while these command-line utilities are available for server management in Citrix XenApp 6, this version heavily relies on Windows PowerShell for many command-line functions. The PowerShell exposure for Citrix XenApp can be found in the XenApp 6 PowerShell SDK, which can be downloaded from Citrix. This allows for more advanced control and management of Citrix XenApp servers using PowerShell scripts and commands.
