Description

Private desktops are automatically created when a machine is added to a desktop group with a DesktopKind of ‘Private’, and these inherit default properties. Use Set-BrokerPrivateDesktop to change the configuration settings of an existing private desktop.

To specify private desktops, you can choose whether to update by machine name, or by passing a PrivateDesktop or an array of PrivateDesktop objects. You can also use the Uid or an array of Uids instead.

You cannot modify many properties of a private desktop as these contain status information; for example DNSName, RegistrationState, and OSVersion.

Use Add- and Remove- cmdlets to update relationships between private desktops and other objects. For example, you can add a tag to a private desktop with:

Add-BrokerTag $tag -Desktop $desktop.Uid

Similarly, assign users to private desktops with:

Add-BrokerUser $user -PrivateDesktop $desktop

Many of the fields that can be set with this cmdlet can also be set with Set-BrokerMachine, such as MaintenanceMode. Using Set-BrokerMachine is preferred in these cases.

For more information about desktops, see about_Broker_Desktops; for more information about machines, see about_Broker_Machines.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Change the color depth of Machine1 to be 16-bit.

Set-BrokerPrivateDesktop DOMAIN\Machine1 -ColorDepth SixteenBit

EXAMPLE 2

Bring all private desktops currently in maintenance mode back into normal service.

Get-BrokerPrivateDesktop -InMaintenanceMode $true | Set-BrokerPrivateDesktop -InMaintenanceMode $false

Parameters

-InputObject

Specifies the desktop or array of desktops to modify. You can also use an integer Uid of the desktop instead.

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

-MachineName

Specifies the desktop to modify using its machine name (in the form ‘domain\machine’).

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

-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

-AssignedClientName

Changes the client name assignment of the desktop. Set this to $null to remove the assignment. Desktops can be assigned to multiple users, a single IP address, or a single client name, but only to one of these categories at one time.

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

-AssignedIPAddress

Changes the IP address assignment of the desktop. Set this to $null to remove the assignment. Desktops can be assigned to multiple users, a single IP address, or a single client name, but only to one of these categories at one time.

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

-ColorDepth

Changes the color depth connections to this desktop should use.

Valid values are $null, FourBit, EightBit, SixteenBit, and TwentyFourBit. A value of $null results in the desktop group value being used instead.

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

-Description

Changes the description of the desktop.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Disallowed characters: All ASCII control characters

-IconUid

Changes the icon displayed for this desktop. When this setting is $null, the icon displayed is determined by the desktop group.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-InMaintenanceMode

Changes the maintenance mode setting of a desktop. When a desktop is in maintenance mode, it is not included as a candidate when brokering new sessions, and it does not participate in automatic power management (idle pool); however, it still responds to explicit power operations.

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

-PublishedName

Changes the name displayed to the user for this desktop. When this setting is $null, the name displayed is determined by the PublishedName of the desktop group.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Disallowed characters: /;:#.*?=<>\|[]()"'\ and all ASCII control characters

-SecureIcaRequired

Changes whether or not SecureICA is required for connections to this desktop. When this setting is $null, the SecureIcaRequired setting from the desktop group is used.

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

CitrixCommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common Citrix parameters: -AdminAddress, -AdminClientIP, -BearerToken, -TraceParent, -TraceState and -VirtualSiteId. For more information, see about_CitrixCommonParameters.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Inputs

Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.PrivateDesktop

You can pipe PrivateDesktop objects into this cmdlet instead of on the command line with the -InputObject parameter.

Outputs

None or Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.PrivateDesktop

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