\"\"In a previous article I explained how you can set Citrix (domain) policies via PowerShell<\/a>. In one of the comments I got a question from Tony who wanted to set Session Printers. In this article I\u2019ll explain how this is done. <\/p>\n

In the article I will first show a quick example and then show some more detailed setting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The basics<\/font><\/h1>\n

Before we can set the specific Session Printers settings we need to load the correct modules, connect to the GPO and read the Citrix user policy. These steps are the same as in the – Set Citrix policies via PowerShell<\/a> – article.<\/p>\n

#Import module\nImport-Module .\\Citrix.GroupPolicy.Commands\n\n#Connect PowerShell drive to Citrix domain GPO\nNew-PSDrive -Name CitrixGPO -PSProvider CitrixGroupPolicy -Root \\ -DomainGPO "Citrix GPO"\n\n#Read Citrix user policy\n$objCitrixPolicy = Get-CtxGroupPolicyConfiguration -PolicyName "Unfiltered" -Type user -DriveName CitrixGPO\n\n#Set session printers\n$objCitrixPolicy.("SessionPrinters").State = "Enabled"\n$objCitrixPolicy.("SessionPrinters").Values=@("\\\\DC001\\Printer1,model=HP LaserJet 4, color=1, location=";"\\\\DC002\\Printer2, model=HP LaserJet 4, location=Second floor")\n\n#Write Citrix user policy\nSet-CtxGroupPolicyConfiguration $objCitrixPolicy -DriveName CitrixGPO\n\n#Close PowerShell Drive from Citrix domain GPO\nRemove-PSDrive -Name CitrixGPO<\/pre>\n
In the example above I added two printers: Printer1 and Printer2 which are both located on the server DC001. The result is shown below.<\/p>\n
\"Session<\/a><\/p>\n
In the example my GPO is called \u201cCitrix GPO\u201d and I\u2019m using the \u201cUnfiltered\u201d Citrix policy.<\/i><\/p>\n
 <\/h3>\n
 <\/p>\n
SessionPrinters Values<\/font><\/h1>\n
The syntax and the possible values for the setting \u201cSessionPrinters\u201d are not documented in the XenApp 6.5 Powershell SDK<\/a> but their quite straightforward.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In general there are two settings for each policy<\/p>\n
