-
Check SCCM task sequence
Upload the task sequence exported from your SCCM environment for review and validation.
The tool will check if the uploaded file is a zip file and contains the required SCCM Task Sequence folder structure, the required object .xml file, and a valid task sequence definition. It will also do command-line parameter analysis and installation condition analysis based on the task sequence.
-
Generate task sequence reference
This tool generates a task sequence template following Citrix’s official guidelines for VDA installation via SCCM.
You can import it into your SCCM environment as a reference template for incorporating VDA installation into your task sequences.
-
VDA Installation Log Analyzer
Analyze installation logs directly on the VDA using Automatic mode or manually upload a .zip file containing VDA installation logs for analysis.
When running in Automatic mode on the VDA, the tool automatically detects the log storage path and analyzes the installation logs locally. The analysis results are saved, and all log files and reports are packaged into a single ZIP file.
In Manual mode, you must upload a .zip file that contains the VDA installation logs for analysis. By default, the log files are stored in the following location:
%TEMP%\Citrix\XenDesktop InstallerIf the default log path has been modified, you can verify the current location in the Windows Registry at:
Computer\HKLM\Software\Citrix\MetaInstall\LogPathThe tool extracts the uploaded .zip file, analyzes its contents, and saves the analysis results for review.
