Script to export all the servers in a Citrix Farm

Posted on April 27th, 2009

Sometimes it is useful to have a list of servers in a text file in order to perform some other task. The following script will export all servers from a Citrix Farm and add them to a text file.

This script uses the built in Citrix tool, qfarm, and cleans up the output to provide the required list. It uses a temporary file (qfarmservers.txt) during the process and deletes it at the end.

REM ***************************************************
REM qfarmservers  = output from a qfarm /servers
REM serverlist    = cleaned up list of all servers in farm
REM ***************************************************

SET qfarmservers=c:\windows\temp\qfarmservers.txt
SET serverlist=c:\windows\temp\serverlist.txt

qfarm /servers >>%qfarmServers%
for /f “skip=3 tokens=1″ %%1 in (%qfarmservers%) do (
echo %%1 >> %serverlist%
)
Del %qfarmservers% /q

Just change the log file location(s) as required.

MFCOM script to export the current users of an application

Posted on April 27th, 2009

Sometimes is is necessary to have a list of users in a text file of which other scripts can be run. In this case I wanted a list of all users currently logged into a specific Citrix application in order to perform some other task.

The following MFCOM script will export all the users currently logged into a specified application and export them to a text file.

Set objFarm = CreateObject(“MetaFrameCOM.MetaFrameFarm”)

Dim ObjFSO, Objuserlist
Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set Objuserlist = objFSO.OpenTextFile(“c:\windows\temp\userlist.log”, 8, True)

objFarm.Initialize(1)

For Each objSession In objfarm.Sessions

if objsession.appname = (“My Application Name”) then
objuserlist.WriteLine(objSession.UserName)
End IF
Next

WScript.Echo “userlist created here – c:\windows\temp\userlist.log”

Substitute “My Application name” and the log file location as appropriate.

Save this as a .vbs file and run.

How to export the users of an AD Group.

Posted on January 23rd, 2009

This is the best and fastest way to export all users who are members of a group

dsquery group “CN=Group Name,OU=OU Location,DC=Domain Name,DC=local” | dsget group -members | dsget user -samid -c >>c:\windows\temp\groupmembers.txt

If there are nested groups it might fail with the following error message:

The object class of the target does not match the one specified on the command line.

This error is removed by adding the -c variable as this continues despite the error.
