Tool to update MCS static machine catalogs.

Having powershell knowledge is beneficial but not everyone in citrix team knows Posh. So, there may be a dependency for team members who knows scripting/powershell. This tool eliminates such gaps in the team. With this tool anyone can update static machine catalogs.

Updates your MCS Static(or MCS dynamic) machine catalogs. This tool also works for MCS dynamic VDI catalogs, but citrix already has a GUI option to update MCS dynamic VDI catalogs.

• VMware powercli and Citrix powershell modules are required on the machine you run this tool from.
• Should have permissions on vmware (to read,create and delete snapshots) and citrix (machine catalog administrator)

No installation required. This is standalone Tool.

When all powershell modules are installed, Run this tool and Enter citrix server name, machine catalog name, vcenter server name and hit update catalog. Optionally, it also displays the existing snapshot details for machine catalog when you use “Get Existing snapshot details” button.

This tool will:

• Remove all existing (old) snapshots from the master image.
• Create new snapshot with today's date.
• Update machine catalog with this new snapshot.
• Display output if successful or failed.

Preferably Citrix Team/Admins who are responsible for catalog updates.

• XML - Used to generate GUI
• PS2EXE-GUI - Used to convert script to exe
