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 |
-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 |
-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.
CommonParameters
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.
