Property Description
VDI.Server.Website
Species the server name of the Citrix Web interface
site to use in connecting to the machine. If the value
of VDI.Server.Name is a XenDesktop farm, this
property must have an appropriate value or the
machine owner cannot connect to the machine using
XenDesktop. If this property is not specied, the
VDI.Server.Name property determines the desktop
delivery controller to connect to, which must be the
name of a server that hosts a desktop delivery
controller.
N If the Citrix Web Interface (WI) has been
replaced with StoreFront (SF), you can use this
property instead of VDI.Server.Name to connect to
the XenDesktop server. An example value is
VDI.Server.Website=sqa-
xddc-7.sqa.local/Citrix/StoreWeb. See
VDI.Server.Name for more information.
VDI.Server.Name
Species 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 specic DDC servers
were installed, this value must exactly match the
server name congured for a dedicated agent.
N For more information about how to make
StoreFront the default page in IIS, see Citrix
documentation. See also VDI.Server.Website.
N 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 are 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, species 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, species the name of the
XenDesktop group to which machines are to be
added. XenDesktop 4 preassigned groups are
supported.
