Detailed Description

The Set-BrokerApplication cmdlet changes the value of one or more properties of an application, such as its CpuPriorityLevel or its CommandLineArguments, to the value specified in the command.

This cmdlet lets you change only the settings of the Application object, and not the relationships to other objects. For instance, it does not let you change which users can access this application, or change which desktop groups this application is published to. To do this, you need to remove the existing association, and then add a new association. The following example shows how to change the desktop group that an application is associated with from $group1 to $group2: Remove-BrokerApplication -DesktopGroup $group1 Add-RemoveApplication -DesktopGroup $group2

You can change properties of HostedOnDesktop, InstalledOnClient and PublishedContent applications but it is not possible to change the ApplicationType. Also, the Name cannot be changed using this cmdlet; to do this, use the Rename-BrokerApplication cmdlet.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value  
InputObject Specifies the application to modify. The Uid of the application can also be substituted for the object. true true (ByValue)    
Name Specifies the name of the application to be modified. true true (ByPropertyName)    
PassThru This cmdlet does not generate any output, unless you use the PassThru parameter, in which case it returns the affected record. false false False  
BrowserName Specifies the BrowserName of the application. false false    
ClientFolder Specifies the folder that the application belongs to as the user sees it. This is the application folder displayed in the Citrix Online Plug-in, in Web Services, and also in the user’s start menu. Subdirectories can be specified with ‘’ character. The following special characters are not allowed: / * ? < > ” :. Note that this property cannot be set for applications of type InstalledOnClient. false false  
CommandLineArguments Specifies the command-line arguments to use when launching the executable. This setting is ignored for applications of type PublishedContent. false false    
CommandLineExecutable Specifies the name of the executable file to launch. false false    
CpuPriorityLevel Specifies the CPU priority for the launched executable. Valid values are: Low, BelowNormal, Normal, AboveNormal, and High. Note that this property cannot be set for applications of type InstalledOnClient. false false    
Description Specifies the description of the application. false false    
Enabled Specifies whether or not this application can be launched. false false    
HomeZoneOnly Specifies whether if the preferred zone for launching the application is its home zone but no machine is available from that zone then the launch fails.
This can only be set if the application has a home zone preference specified.		 false false    
HomeZoneUid Specifies any home zone preference used when launching this application. false false    
IconFromClient Specifies if the app icon should be retrieved from the application on the client. This is reserved for possible future use, and all applications of type HostedOnDesktop cannot set or change this value. false false    
IconUid Specifies which icon to use for this application. This application is visible both to the administrator (in the consoles) and also to the user. If no icon is specified, then a generic built-in application icon is used. false false    
IgnoreUserHomeZone Specifies that when launching the application and the user has a home zone specified then the user’s home zone preference should be ignored.
This can only be set if the application does not itself have a home zone preference specified.		 false false    
LocalLaunchDisabled When launching a published application from within a published desktop, do not launch the application in that desktop session. false false    
MaxPerMachineInstances Specifies the maximum allowed concurrently running instances of the application that an individual machine can have. A value of zero allows unlimited usage subject to any site-wide limit.
Reducing the limit below the currently running number of instances does not cause any of those to be stopped.		 false false    
MaxPerUserInstances Specifies the maximum allowed concurrently running instances of the application that an individual user can have. A value of zero allows unlimited usage subject to any site-wide limit.
Reducing the limit below the currently running number of instances does not cause any of those to be stopped.		 false false    
MaxTotalInstances Specifies the maximum allowed total of concurrently running instances of the application in the site. A value of zero allows unlimited usage.
Reducing the limit below the currently running number of instances does not cause any of those to be stopped.		 false false    
PublishedName Specifies the name seen by end users who have access to this application. false false    
SecureCmdLineArgumentsEnabled Specifies whether the command-line arguments should be secured. This is reserved for possible future use, and all applications of type HostedOnDesktop can only have this value set to true. false false    
ShortcutAddedToDesktop Specifies whether or not a shortcut to the application should be placed on the user device. false false    
ShortcutAddedToStartMenu Specifies whether a shortcut to the application should be placed in the user’s start menu on their user device. false false

UserFilterEnabled Specifies whether the application’s user filter is enabled or disabled. Where the user filter is enabled, the application is only visible to users who appear in the filter (either explicitly or by virtue of group membership). false false    
Visible Specifies whether or not this application is visible to users. Note that it’s possible for an application to be disabled and still visible. false false    
WaitForPrinterCreation Specifies whether or not the session waits for the printers to be created before allowing the end-user to interact with the session. Note that this property cannot be set for applications of type InstalledOnClient. false false    
WorkingDirectory Specifies from which working directory the executable is launched from. This setting is ignored for applications of type PublishedContent. false 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. false false    
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snapin will connect to. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default.  
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false    
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false
