Summary

Is it possible to inventory all farms and servers from the central controller as or citrix host change a lot and having a adapter on each host is costly maintenance for our Citrix team.

Synopsis

Using a single host to connect to multiple XenApp farms can be found out of the box in FNMS 2014 R3. Downloading the Tier 1 Adapter tools will have the latest Xenapp agent inside.

Discussion

It is extremely difficult to set up customer?s security properly to allow one XenApp server access to different farms due to remote PowerShell security issues.


Workaround

You can run the FnmpXenAppAgent.exe with a ?s command to allow for multiple servers.

Steps to perform:
1.Download the Tier 1 adapter tools from the Product and License Center website, as it has the Xenapp agent inside.
2.If you then extract that and navigate to the 7.5 agent folder and run fnmpxenappagent -s it throws an error with a list of available switches.


further down is says "Targeting a specific XenApp Server:" and instructs you how to use it

Targeting a specific XenApp server:
FnmpXenAppAgent.exe -o "C:\XenAppACL.xml" -s "xda01.fqdn.com"
<C:\Users\support\Downloads\Tier 1 Adapter Tools\Tier 1 Adapter Tools\Citrix>
XenApp Server Agent\XenAppAgent75>

Example:

FnmpXenAppAgent.exe -o "C:\XenAppACL.xml" -s "xda01.fqdn.com"

so, that will target the "xda01.fqdn.com" XenApp server and output the results to "C:\XenAppACL.xml"


Additional Information

Use the ?help or ?h switch for available options

-s pertains to "Server name or IP address"

NOTE: The -s switch is not available in FNMP 9.2 or below, but in FNMS 2014 R3+ it is OOTB. (out of the box)

I have a customer which does not want to run the FnmpXenAppAgent on a delivery controller or any other Citrix server which plays an important role within their farms. Is it possible to run the FnmpXenAppAgent on a Windows 10 system which is part of the Citrix farm and do remote inventory that way?

The reason being the cost of running a managed server is about $500/month vs $40/month for a desktop OS.
