I have a v2 script that I use with Citrix XenDesktop to email a daily report to the admin team. After taking Don’s awesome Powershell masterclass, I am working on some improvements to it, but I am running into a snag…by DonJ at 2012-10-30 07:51:37
The key function here is:$message.Body = Get-BrokerDesktop -Filter {SessionState -eq "Disconnected" -or SessionState -eq "Unknown"} |
Select-Object -Property SessionUserName,
@{name='DisplayName';expression={Get-ADUser -Identity (Split-Path -Path $_.SessionUserName -Leaf) |
Select-Object -Property Name}},
SessionState,
ClientName,
HostedMachineName,
SessionStateChangeTime | ConvertTo-Html
The key here is XD is putting out an object type of Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.Desktop, and the SessionUserName is a MemberType of NoteProperty. I am using the split function to extract the user name, and using that to look up the user’s display name to put into the table. (Eventually, I will convert this into a full blown function… but baby steps
The issue I am getting is the output - it comes out like this: (private data is sanitized, and shown here in <> symbols and the email columns do line up properly)
SessionUserName DisplayName SessionState ClientName HostedMachineName SessionStateChangeTime
<domain\username> @{Name=<displayname>} Disconnected <clientname> <XD Machine Name> 10/29/2012 4:31:23 PM
In the output, the actual strings ‘@{name=’ and ‘}’ are actually printing in the body along with the correct displayname? Hopefully this is just something small that I overlooked without realizing it.
Thanks,

Use -ExpandProperty with Select-Object, instead of -Property.
