7.1

Each XenDesktop DDC server with which you intend to register machines must be congured in the
following way:
n
The group/catalog type must be set to Existing for use with vRealize Automation.
n
The name of a vCenter Server host on a DDC server must match the name of thevCenter Server instance
as entered in the vRealize Automation vSphere endpoint, without the domain. The endpoint must be
congured with a fully qualied domain name (FQDN), and not with an IP address. For example, if the
address in the endpoint is hps://virtual-center27.domain/sdk, the name of the host on the DDC server
must be set to virtual-center27.
If your vRealize Automation vSphere endpoint has been congured with an IP address, you must
change it to use an FQDN. See IaaS Conguration for more information about seing up endpoints.
XenDesktop Agent Host requirements
Citrix XenDesktop SDK must be installed. The SDK for XenDesktop is included on the XenDesktop
installation disc.
Verify that Microsoft PowerShell is installed on the installation host before agent installation. The version
required depends on the operating system of the installation host. See Microsoft Help and Support.
MS PowerShell Execution Policy is set to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. See “Set the PowerShell Execution
Policy to RemoteSigned,” on page 96.
For more information about PowerShell Execution Policy, run help about_signing or help Set-
ExecutionPolicy at the PowerShell command prompt.
Set the XenServer Host Name
In XenDesktop, the name given to the XenServer Host on your XenDesktop server must match the UUID of
the Xen Pool in XenCenter. If no XenPool is congured, the name must match the UUID of the XenServer
itself.
Procedure
1 In Citrix XenCenter, select your XenPool or standalone XenServer and click the General tab. Record the
UUID.
2 When you add your XenServer Pool or standalone host to XenDesktop, type the UUID that was
recorded in the previous step as the Connection name.
Install the XenDesktop Agent
Virtual desktop integration (VDI) PowerShell agents integrate with external virtual desktop system, such as
XenDesktop and Citrix. Use a VDI PowerShell agent to manage the XenDesktop machine.
