Description

Retrieves catalogs matching the specified criteria. If no parameters are specified this cmdlet enumerates all catalogs.

See about_Broker_Filtering for information about advanced filtering options.

————————– BrokerCatalog Object

The catalog object returned represents a group of related physical or virtual machines that have been configured in the site.

See about_Broker_Machines for more information.

  • AdminFolderName (System.String)

    The name of the admin folder the catalog is in (including trailing backslash), or the empty string if the catalog is at the root level

  • AdminFolderUid (System.Int32)

    The Uid of the admin folder the catalog is in (if any)

  • AllocationType (Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.AllocationType)

    Denotes how the the machines in the catalog are allocated to a user. Possible values are:

    • Static: Machines get assigned to a user either by the admin or on first use. This relationship is static and changes only if an admin explicitly changes the assignments.
    • Random: Machines are allocated to users randomly from a pool of available machines.

  • AppDnaAnalysisState (Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.AppDnaAnalysisState?)

    The AppDNA Analysis State of the catalog

  • AssignedCount (System.Int32)

    The number of assigned machines (machines that have been assigned to a user/users or a client name/address).

  • AvailableAssignedCount (System.Int32)

    The number of available machines (not in a desktop group), that are also assigned to users.

  • AvailableCount (System.Int32)

  • IsRemotePC (System.Boolean)

    Specifies whether or not the catalog is a RemotePC catalog. Remote PC catalogs automatically configure appropriate machines without the need for manual configuration. See about_Broker_RemotePC for more information.

  • MachinesArePhysical (System.Boolean)

    Specifies whether or not the machines in the catalog can be power-managed by the broker.
