   [<CitrixCommonParameters>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-BrokerSession cmdlet sets properties on a session or set of sessions. You can specify a single session by Uid or SessionKey (Guid) or multiple session instances can be passed to the command by piping or using the -InputObject parameter.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Finds all sessions in the site for user John Smith that have been hidden, and makes them available for reconection again.

$sessions = Get-BrokerSession -User ACCOUNTS\JohnSmith -Hidden $true
$sessions | Set-BrokerSession -Hidden $false
<!--NeedCopy-->

Parameters

-InputObject

The session instances whose properties you want to set.

Type: Session[]
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SessionKey

The session key (Guid) of the session whose properties you want to set.

Type: Guid
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-PassThru

This cmdlet does not generate any output, unless you use the PassThru parameter, in which case it returns the affected record.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: False
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Hidden

Changes whether the session is hidden or not. Hidden sessions are treated as though they do not exist when brokering sessions; a hidden session cannot be reconnected to, but a new session may be launched using the same entitlement.

A session may be hidden automatically by the system when an attempt is made to reconnect to a session that is unreachable due to, for example, the failure of a VM’s hypervisor. This allows a new session to be brokered provided that other machines in the same desktop group are still available. If the original session still exists after the hypervisor is restored then it must be unhidden to allow the user to reconnect to it.

Only sessions for shared desktops or applications can be hidden or unhidden. Private desktop or application sessions can never be hidden.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LoggingId

Specifies the identifier of the high level operation that this cmdlet call forms a part of. Desktop Studio and Desktop Director typically create High Level Operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a High Level Operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.

Type: Guid
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.Session

You can pipe in the sessions whose properties you want to set.

This cmdlet does not generate any output, unless you use the PassThru parameter, in which case it generates a Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.Session object.
