Hi Whilst preparing my media for a long haul flight I have coming up recently, I wanted to make sure I got every last drop of energy out of my laptop battery before it ran out. What I wanted to do was have a script which closed all applications which are not required to run. All I want is to be able to watch VLC, but I have a number of programs which are running in the background on startup e.g. Dropbox. Obviously this is no use to me on a plane so why leave it running and have it wasting CPU resource? I first of all found this useful article at Lifehacker for quitting all applications http://lifehacker.com/5670054/create-a-shortcut-that-quits-every-running-windows-program The second thing I wanted this script to do was to change the power management profile to my super battery saving mode. Windows 7 gives you loads of options to tweak this how you see fit. I used the powercfg command to set the profile. More details on this can be found here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr

Hi Check out my latest addition to the Citrix KB site http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127078 This technote discusses problems related to window positioning on reconnect to XenDesktop 4 VDAs. Sam Google +

Hello there XenApp 6 removes MFCOM and replaces it with a full set of powershell SDKs which make scripting tasks far easier to complete. I was asked to create a script to add a Citrix Administrator for a XenDesktop 4. This was actually easier than I had initially thought. The complexity with this task revolves around the granularity that Citrix administrators have with XenApp. Fortunately there are only a couple of options to configure for XenDesktop. The below powershell script adds the user administrator from the domain SAMO2 to be a full administrator. To change this to a Delegated administrator change AdminType to 2. $mfFarm = New-object -com "MetaframeCOM.MetaFrameFarm" $mfFarm.Initialize(1) $newadmin=$mfFarm.addadmin() $newadmin.AccountName = "Administrator" $newadmin.AccountType = 2 $newadmin.AAName = "SAMO2" $newadmin.AAType = 3 $newadmin.Enable = 1 $newadmin.AdminType = 3 $newadmin = $newadmin $newadmin.savedata() Cheers Sam Google +
