Table 3‑13. Custom Properties V Table (Continued)
This section lists vRealize Automation custom properties that
begin with the letter V.
Property Description
VDI.Server.Name
Specifies the server name, which hosts the desktop delivery
controller, to register with, or the name of a XenDesktop farm
that contains desktop delivery controllers with which to
register.
If the value is a XenDesktop farm name, the
VDI.Server.Website property value must be the URL of an
appropriate Citrix web interface site to use in connecting to the
machine.
If the value is a server name, and at least one general
XenDesktop VDI agent was installed without specifying a
desktop delivery controller server, this value directs the
request to the desired server. If the value is a server name,
and only dedicated XenDesktop VDI agents for specific DDC
servers were installed, this value must exactly match the
server name configured for a dedicated agent.
Note For more information about how to make StoreFront the
default page in IIS, see Citrix documentation. See also
VDI.Server.Website.
Note Changes in the Citrix web interface protocol have
impacted how the VDI.Server.Name default value is
recognized. The value of the VDI.Server.Name property is
used as the default connection string to open the Citrix web
interface when users connect to a virtual desktop. It is always
the DNS/IP of the XD server. If that value does not connect to
the Citrix interface, you is unable to access your VMs.
However, you can use the VDI.Server.Website custom
property when the Citrix web interface is hosted on a server
other than the XenDesktop server. When this property is
present on the VM, it is used instead of VDI.Server.Name.
VDI.Server.Group
For XenDesktop 5, specifies the name of the XenDesktop
group to add machines to and the name of the catalog to
which the group belongs, in the group_name;catalog_name
format.
For XenDesktop 4, specifies the name of the XenDesktop
group to which machines are to be added. XenDesktop 4
preassigned groups are supported.
VDI.ActiveDirectory.Interval
Specifies an optional interval value in time span format for
virtual desktop infrastructure machine Active Directory
registration check. The default value is 00:00:15 (15 seconds).
VDI.ActiveDirectory.Timeout
Specifies an optional timeout value to wait before retrying
Active Directory registration. The default value is 00:00:15 (30
minutes).
