Check Profile Sizes examines user profiles for all or selected user accounts on the target machine, grouping the results by file type, using the extension.

For each group of files, if the size of the group exceeds a threshold (default 15% of the total profile size) the individual files are listed, sorted by path or by size (descending) and showing the actual file size in bytes.

To keep the output reasonably short, a threshold is set on the number of files shown individually per are listed by path (default 6) - beyond this, files are summarized by folder (order by count of files, descending).

Arguments:
ThresholdPercentToExpand (default: 15) - the threshold percent of the total profile size at which a file-extension group is listed.
SamAccountNameList (default: All) - the list of account names to be reported (comma-separated, any leading or trailing spaces will be trimmed). If set to All, the script will include local user and Active Directory user accounts.
SortBy (default: Size) - must be set to Size (individual files are listed by size, descending) or Path (individual files are listed by full path, ascending).
PreSummarySize (default: 6) - the number of files that will be listed individually (by group, according to the configured sort order) before the script switches to reporting files grouped by folder.

Citrix HDX Optimization can improve the user experience for Teams video/audio use.
The optimization will also significantly reduce the resource consumption on the VDA.

This Script Action uses the ServiceNow API to create an incident in ServiceNow IT Service Management. The script as presented is for a specific use case: it creates an incident containing the user's full name, the user's logon duration and the machine name.

This Script Action can also be used as an example/template for your own ServiceNow integration needs. See the script for more details on how to modify.

Shadows Citrix, VMware, RDSH and WVD sessions

Performs a test of all the technical requirements for HDX content redirection, which can potentially save bandwidth and CPU. The script's output provides the test results along with recommendations on components that need to be enabled or upgraded for content redirection to work.

Run on a Delivery Controller or where the CVAD PowerShell snapins are available, e.g. Studio is installed. User running the script must have sufficient permission to chage the enabled state of the selected delivery groups

Run on a Delivery Controller or where the CVAD PowerShell snapins are available, e.g. Studio is installed or on a machine with the DaaS Remote PowerShell SDK (for Cloud). User running the script for on-prem must have sufficient permission to change the enabled state of the selected delivery groups. For Cloud, CU stored credentials must have previously been saved for the local user running the script.

To use this script as an automated action where parameters cannot be passed, copy the script and set the $disable parameter in the Param() block at the top of the script to "true" or "false" depending on whether you are disabling or enabling delivery groups respectively.

The Cloud Customer Id or Delivery Controller is an optional argument which can be used when there are more than 1 credential file for the user running the script so that the correct Cloud customer can be chosen. When used on-prem, the parameter is used to tell the script what delivery controller to connect to when the script is not run on a DDC.

Show how recently (in number of days) delivery groups have had sessions launched from them, by checking the last used property for each machine in a delivery group.
Specify the minimum number of days last launched to show only delivery groups which have not had sessions launched within that number of days and optionally disable them. Specify 0 days to show all delivery groups.

The script displays VDI machines and RDS hosts that are not running on the same Golden Image and Snapshot that are configured in the Desktop Pool settings. It offers the option to delete VDI machines with or without forcing the user to logoff. Uses the Horizon PowerCLI api's to pull all snapshot information for Horizon Linked Clones and Instant Clones Desktops pools and RDS farms.
The script also uses the Horizon api's to poll the Cloud Pod status of the system and connects to other pods if Cloud Pod has been enabled.

This Script Requires a Horizon Credential file for the user running the scipt. This can be created using the Create credentials for Horizon scripts Script Action.
Requires Horizon 7.5 or later
This script requires VMware PowerCLI to be installed on the machine running the script. PowerCLI can be installed using the Install and configure VMware PowerCLI Script Action

Uses the Horizon REST api's to pull all Error, Warning and Audit_Fail events from the Horizon Event database for all pods. If there is no cloud pod setup it will only process the local pod. After pulling the events it will translate the id's for the various objects to names to show the proper names where needed.

Output is displayed in the console but also saved to a default location of c:windowstempCU_Horizon_error_log.csv

This action should be executed against a Horizon endpoint machine (one which has the HZ Primary Connection Server column populated in ControlUp Console). The script uses the target machine to determine the connection server address, and is executed on the machine running ControlUp Console.
This script requires Horizon Credentials to be set for the account running the scipt on the target machine, these need to be created using the 'Create credentials for Horizon scripts' Script Action

Query the selected delivery controller via OData to retrieve connection failure details for a specific user, or all users, within a specified number of days ago
