Description

Provides the ability to create identity pools that can be used to store AD computer accounts.

The naming scheme, naming scheme type, and domain must be specified if the identity pool is to be used to create new accounts.

Each identity pool is tied to a single domain. All the identities in an identity pool belong to the same domain. If the domain is not specified by a parameter to this command the domain will be set when an account is imported into it.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Create a new identity pool from which accounts can be created in the domain called “MyDomain.com” using a numeric scheme of the format Acc####. The first account created from this identity pool will be named Acc0001 and placed in the OU named “MyOU”.

New AD accounts can be imported into this pool too, but must be from the Domain “MyDomain.com”.

EXAMPLE 2

Create a new identity pool named “MyWorkgroupPool” where accounts are created as workgroup machines rather than part of a domain. Note that the OU and Domain parameters must be unused.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True

-NamingScheme

Defines the template name for AD accounts created in the identity pool. The scheme can consist of fixed characters and a variable part defined by ‘#’ characters. There can be only one variable region defined. The number of ‘#’ characters defines the minimum length of the variable region. For example, a naming scheme of H#### could create accounts called H0001, H0002 (for a numeric scheme type) or HAAAA, HAAAB (for an alphabetic type).

Citrix recommends that you define a naming scheme that will not clash with accounts which already exist in AD; account creation will fail if a clash occurs.

There are restrictions on what constitutes a valid computer name:

Minimum name length: 2 (DNS)

Maximum name length: 15 bytes (NetBIOS)

The following characters are not allowed in a computer name:

backslash (\)
