Detailed Description

Provides the ability to obtain a list of the VMs that were created using Citrix Machine Creation Services.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value

Notes

In the case of failure, the following errors can result.

  • PartialData: Only a subset of the available data was returned.

  • CouldNotQueryDatabase: The query required to get the database was not defined.

  • PermissionDenied: The user does not have administrative rights to perform this operation.

  • ConfigurationLoggingError: The operation could not be performed because of a configuration logging error CommunicationError An error occurred while communicating with the service.

  • DatabaseNotConfigured: The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured.

  • InvalidFilter: A filtering expression was supplied that could not be interpreted for this cmdlet.

  • ExceptionThrown: An unexpected error occurred.

For more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops logs.
