App-V 5: Collect icons for XenApp 6 publishing.
Quick script you can run on a machine that will look at any app-v app cached on that machine and collect the icon file for it and spit it out into a structured directory.

Citrix: Presentation Server 4.5, list applications and groups.
Quick script to connect to a 4.5 farm and pull a list of applications and associate them to the groups that control access to them. You will need to do a few things before this works:
If you are running this remotely you need to be in the "Distributed COM Users" group (Server 2k3) and will need to setup DCOM for impersonation (you can do this by running "Component Services" drilling down to the "local computer", right click and choose properties, clicking General properties and the third option should be set to Impersonate).
Finally you will need View rights to the Farm. If you are doing this remotely there is a VERY strong chance of failure is the account you are LOGGED IN AS is not a "View Only" or higher admin in Citrix. RunAs seems to be incredibly hit or miss, mostly miss.

New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End (Get-Date)XenServer Appliance Import Fails
If you find your import sitting at "Connecting..." with a reference to the specific VDI it is trying to create at the end, 99% chance it failed to get an IP. At the last phase of the import just specify a static IP, in my case for whatever reason DHCP wasn't responding fast enough so even though it LOOKED like it was getting an IP it just wasn't making the connection. Manually setting an IP solved it.
App-V: Clear cache on Citrix.
Ran into a problem where I could NOT get app-v to clear the cache properly on a citrix server.
Set: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\AppFS\State = 0
Delete all the OSD's in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Application Virtualization Client\SoftGrid Client\OSD Cache
Stop the Application Virtualization Client Agent service (this is a dependant service to say Yes when it asks to shut down the parent service). Note that if you have the client console open at the time (or any apps) you will get a connection error, this is harmless, it's just telling you that, well, you stopped the service and it cannot connect.
Open the client console, refresh the publishing server. Problem should be solved.
A pretty common indicator that an application is stuck in the cache is Error #: 00001004
If you see that error, you probably have some OSD's hung up in the cache. If this STILL doesn't resolve it, make sure that in the user profile(s, if you aren't doing mandatory profiles) the OSD caches are cleared as well. That SHOULDN'T be an issue, it's usually the machine cache that fails to be cleaned up properly.
Citrix: ICA Client 12 on Ubuntu.
Installing it is easy enough, the only hiccup I had was with certificate errors.
cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
Simple resolution.
