Detailed Description

This cmdlet enables recurring Call Home uploads to Citrix Insight Services. These uploads are analyzed by Citrix to identify known problems and provide other helpful information. Valid Citrix credentials are required to enable the recurring Call Home uploads. These credentials are not persisted.

The optional Collect parameter accepts a json-formatted string, which specify the parameters passed to collectors. This configuration will be used for scheduled uploads. Current collectors consist of ‘sfb’, ‘wmi’, ‘process’, ‘registry’, ‘crashreport’, ‘trace’, ‘file’, ‘msi’, ‘localdata’ and ‘sitedata’. Each of the collectors accepts at least a parameter ‘enabled’, used to disable the collector. By default, all collectors are enabled except for the ‘sfb’ collector, because ‘sfb’ collector is used for users to diagnose the skype failure and designed to be on-demand. The collector ‘sfb’ supports three parameters ‘account’, ‘accounts’ and ‘enabled’, first two of which specify the target user(s) ‘sfb’ collector will collect skype logs for, and can not coexist. If ‘sfb’ parameter is not null in -Collect json string, the ‘sfb’ collector will be enabled unless the ‘enabled’ is false.

Only one of the following parameters needs to be specified in order to upload to Citrix Insight Services (CIS). Credential - Citrix credentials. UploadGrantToken - Can be obtained by using New-CitrixCallHomeUploadGrantToken cmdlet. UploadToken - Can be obtained by using New-CitrixCallHomeUploadToken cmdlet.
