XenDesktop discovery: Installation and access requirements

Synopsis

The beacon must be installed and must be able to directly communicate with the XenDesktop broker.

The XenDesktop broker must allow remotely signed PowerShell scripts to be run.

See Knowledge Base  Article - Set up Remote Powershell for XenDesktop discovery
https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/Set-up-Remote-Powershell-for-XenDesktop-discovery/ta-p/5892

You can check to see the execution policy on the XenDesktop broker server by opening a PowerShell window on it and running Get-ExecutionPolicy
Ensure the policy is either RemoteSigned, AllSigned, or Unrestricted (not recommended). If it is Restricted, run the following command to set it RemoteSigned
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Ensure the server running the beacon also has a similar PowerShell execution policy so it can run the required PowerShell commands to communicate with the XenDesktop broker.
Ensure the password store on the beacon has an entry for the XenDesktop server.

Troubleshooting
Look at the beacon logs for errors relating to XenDesktop discovery %PROGRAMDATA%\Flexera Software\Compliance\Logging\BeaconEngine
Turn on tracing by modifying <INSTALL DIR>\Flexera Software\Inventory Beacon\etdp.trace and enabling the Scheduling/RemoteExecution tracing option
