Detailed Description

Configures the Site for first use. This must be run after the databases have been created. The databases may have been created manually using the scripts generated from Get-XDDatabaseSchema or automatically using New-XDDatabase.

The site will run in a grace period until Set-XDLicensing is used to configure licensing.

For database mirroring please refer to “[about_XenDesktopModule](/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops-sdk/2112/XenDesktop/about_XenDesktopModule.html)_SiteConfiguration”.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
AllDefaultDatabases Indicates that all the databases that are to be used in this Site were created with their default names. true false  
DatabaseServer If all databases were created within a single SQL Server, this is the address of that server. This must include the SQL Instance name. true false  
SiteName The name of the Site that is to be created. true false  
LoggingDatabaseName If databases were not created using their default names, this is the name of the Configuration Logging Database. true false  
MonitorDatabaseName If databases were not created using their default names, this is the name of the Monitoring Database. true false  
SiteDatabaseName If databases were not created using their default names, this is the name of the Site Configuration Database. true false  
LoggingDatabaseServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server, this is the name of the SQL Server hosting the Configuration Logging Database. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. true false  
MonitorDatabaseServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server, this is the name of the SQL Server hosting the Monitoring Database. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. true false  
SiteDatabaseServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server, this is the name of the SQL Server hosting the Site Configuration Database. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. true false  
DatabaseMirrorServer If all databases were created within a single SQL Server and SQL Mirroring has been enabled for those databases, this is the address of the SQL Server that is acting as the Mirror. This must include the SQL Instance name. false false  
DatabaseNamePrefix If a name prefix was applied to the default database names during the original creation of the databases, this specifies that name prefix. false false  
LoggingDatabaseMirrorServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server and SQL Mirroring has been enabled for the the Configuration Logging Database, this is the address of the SQL Server that is acting as the mirror. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. false false If this parameter is not provided, the mirror server is determined by querying the SQL Server hosting the Configuration Logging Database.
MonitorDatabaseMirrorServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server and SQL Mirroring has been enabled for the the Monitoring Database, this is the address of the SQL Server that is acting as the mirror. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. false false If this parameter is not provided, the mirror server is determined by querying the SQL Server that is hosting the Monitoring Database.
SiteDatabaseMirrorServer If each database was created on a separate SQL Server and SQL Mirroring has been enabled for the the Site Configuration Database, this is the address of the SQL Server that is acting as the mirror. This must include any applicable SQL Instance name. false false If this parameter is not provided, the mirror server is determined by querying the SQL Server that is hosting the Site Configuration Database.
AdminAddress Specifies the address of the Delivery Controller to which the PowerShell module will connect. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default.

Input Type

None

You cannot pipe input into this cmdlet.

Return Values

Citrix.Xendesktoppowershellsdk.Serviceinterfaces.Configuration.Site

This includes the name of the Site, the Delivery Controllers in Site, the Databases supporting the Site, the metadata associated with the Site, the licensing configuration of the Site, and the default Icon for the Site.

Notes

The parameter set used with this cmdlet is dependent on the manner in which the databases were previously created.
If the databases were created with default names on a single SQL Server, use the following parameter set:
New-XDSite -AllDefaultDatabases -DatabaseServer <String> -SiteName <String> [-DatabaseMirrorServer <String>] [-DatabaseNamePrefix <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>]
If the databases were created with non-default names on a single SQL Server, use the following parameter set:
New-XDSite -DatabaseServer <String> -LoggingDatabaseName <String> -MonitorDatabaseName <String> -SiteDatabaseName <String> -SiteName <String> [-DatabaseMirrorServer <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>]
If the databases were created on seperate SQL Servers, use the following parameter set:
New-XDSite -LoggingDatabaseName <String> -LoggingDatabaseServer <String> -MonitorDatabaseName <String> -MonitorDatabaseServer <String> -SiteDatabaseName <String> -SiteDatabaseServer <String> -SiteName <String> [-LoggingDatabaseMirrorServer <String>] [-MonitorDatabaseMirrorServer <String>] [-SiteDatabaseMirrorServer <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>]
The command can fail for the following reasons:
o The Site associated with the Controller at AdminAddress is already configured.
o One or more of the specified databases could not be found.
o One or more of the specified databases does not have the necessary permissions for the Controller at AdminAddress.
