Description

If AllDefaultDatabases is specified, this cmdlet creates all databases using their default names on the specified SQL server. When used in this manner, the cmdlet need only be called once.

If DataStore is specified, this cmdlet creates the specified database on the specified SQL Server. When used in this manner, the cmdlet should be called once per datastore.

This cmdlet creates, but does not configure, the Database. Run New-XDSite to configure the Site to use the Database.

For database mirroring please refer to “about_XenDesktopModule_SiteConfiguration”.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Creates a Site Configuration Database called ‘MySiteDatabase’ for the Site named ‘MySite’ on ‘Instance_1’ of the SQL Server ‘MySqlServer’.

New-XDDatabase -AdminAddress MySiteController -SiteName MySite -Datastore Site -DatabaseServer MySqlServer\Instance_1 -DatabaseName MySiteDatabase
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Creates a Configuration Logging Database called ‘MyLoggingDatabase’ for the Site named ‘MySite’ on ‘Instance_1’ of the SQL Server ‘MySqlServer’.

New-XDDatabase -AdminAddress MySiteController -SiteName MySite -Datastore Logging -DatabaseServer MySqlServer\Instance_1 -DatabaseName MyLoggingDatabase
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 3

Creates a Monitoring Database called ‘MyMonitorDatabase’ for the Site named ‘MySite’ on ‘Instance_1’ of the SQL Server ‘MySqlServer’.

New-XDDatabase -AdminAddress MySiteController -SiteName MySite -Datastore Monitor -DatabaseServer MySqlServer\Instance_1 -DatabaseName MyMonitorDatabase
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 4

Creates Site Configuration, Configuration Logging and Monitoring Databases called ‘MyPrefix-CitrixMySite’, ‘MyPrefix-CitrixConfigLoggingMySite’ and ‘MyPrefix-CitrixMonitorMySite’ for the Site named ‘MySite’ on ‘Instance_1’ of the SQL Server ‘MySqlServer’.

New-XDDatabase -AdminAddress MySiteController -SiteName MySite -AllDefaultDatabases -DatabaseServer MySqlServer\Instance_1 -DatabaseNamePrefix  MyPrefix-

Outputs

Citrix.XenDesktopPowerShellSdk.ServiceInterfaces.Configuration.Database

One Database object is returned for each datastore type that is created. Each Database object includes the database name, datastore type and SQL Server address.

Notes

If the user running this cmdlet does not have privilege to create databases on the specified SQL Server, then alternative credentials may be provided using the DatabaseCredentials parameter.

The command can fail for the following reasons:

A connection could not be established with the specified SQL Server.
The person running the cmdlet, or the supplied credentials, do not have sufficient privilege to create databases on the specified SQL Server. In this situation, use Get-XDDatabaseSchema, instead of New-XDDatabase, to generate SQL database creation scripts that may be given to a database administrator for execution on the SQL Server.
