Description

The Set-BrokerSite cmdlet modifies properties of the current broker site.

The broker site is a top-level, logical representation of the XenDesktop site, from the perspective of the brokering services running within the site. It defines various site-wide default attributes used by the brokering services.

A XenDesktop installation has only a single broker site instance.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Specifies that any new desktop groups created, where a color depth value is not specified, default to using 16-bit color depth for user sessions to desktops or applications within that group.

Set-BrokerSite -ColorDepth SixteenBit

Parameters

-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

-AlwaysBypassAuthForCachedResources

Allows client to always display cached resources without authentication..

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

-ApplicationIconUid

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

-BaseOU

Changes the objectGUID property identifying the base OU in Active Directory used for desktop registrations. For sites using only registry-based discovery (the default) this value is $null.

Any desktop attempting to register through a different OU from the one specified here is rejected. Note that desktops configured for registry-based discovery can register with the site, even if a BaseOU value is specified.

Information held in Active Directory is not modified by changing this value.

Typically, this property is changed only by using the Set-ADControllerDiscovery.ps1 script.

Type: Guid

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

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

-DefaultMinimumFunctionalLevel

Changes the default minimum functional level used for new catalogs and desktop groups when no explicit value is provided.

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

-DnsResolutionEnabled

Changes whether ICA files returned by a broker service to a user device contain the numeric IP address or the DNS name of the desktop machine to which a session should be established.

With the default value ($false), ICA files will always contain a numeric IP address. To have DNS names appear in the ICA files, set the value to $true.

Even when DNS resolution is enabled ($true), IP addresses may still appear in ICA files. The reasons for this include, for example, that the broker service is unable to obtain a DNS name for the target machine, or that Storefront is configured to always use numeric IP addresses in this context.

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

-ReuseMachinesWithoutShutdownInOutageAllowed

Allows the ReuseMachinesWithoutShutdownInOutage setting on individual DesktopGroups to be enabled. Because these settings have potential security implications, only the site administrator can enable use of this feature. Disabling this setting will clear corresponding field on all delivery groups.

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

-SecureIcaRequired

Changes the default SecureICA usage requirements for new desktop groups if no SecureICA setting is specified explicitly when a group is created. Changing this default has no impact on the SecureICA usage requirements of existing groups.

-TrustManagedAnonymousXmlServiceRequests

Changes whether the XML Service (as used by Storefront) implicitly trusts managed anonymous launch requests.

With the default value ($false), any attempt to use the XML service for managed anonymous sessions is rejected.

If this setting is enabled, anyone with access to the XML service will be able to utilize the managed anonymous functionality to leave disconnected prelaunched anonymous sessions available for reconnection. You must ensure that controllers running the brokering services are securely firewalled.

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

-TrustRequestsSentToTheXmlServicePort

Changes whether the XML Service (as used by Storefront) implicitly trusts the originator of requests it receives, or whether it fully authenticates them.

With the default value ($false), full authentication checks are performed. However, you must enable this setting ($true) to allow support for “Pass-through” authentication, and/or connections routed through Access Gateway.

If this setting is enabled, you must ensure that controllers running the brokering services are securely firewalled.

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

-UseVerticalScalingForRdsLaunches

Determines whether to use vertical scaling when considering RDS machines for launches. Vertical scaling would saturate machines in the current pool rather than send sessions to the least loaded machines. This would be a trade in performance vs. cost, where vertical scaling would be less costly.

With the default value ($false), horizontal scaling will be used.

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

Type: String
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
