Vms Unregistered no name

[Daniel Vaz]

Hello staff 

 

I use Citrix to work on organization

 

Some VMs are named with a number 

 

I know which are these Vms but I can not use them. 

 

Does anyone know how fix?

Detailed Steps as follows 

 

 

Step 1. Reboot PVS  (not required)

Step 2. Delete AD accounts for both of the machines from PVS

Step 3 Power off "SID" machines from XenCenter machines

Step 4. Move machines to maintenance mode 

Step 5. Delete machines from DDC console

Step 6. Create AD accounts for both of the machines from PVS.

Step 7 . On DDC > Machines >IMAGE NAME> Add machines 

Step 8. Assignments > add desktop > catlog 

Step 9. In catlog >IMAGE NAME> Add machines > Next> Finish 

Step 10. Refresh  DDC console

Delete these number machines both from AD account (PVS) and Desktop studio, then recreate those machines. Follow exactly the same process which you will do as if you are adding new machines.

Adding for future reference -     

 

Citrix Desktop Studio – vdi appears as SID instead of machine name.

 

 

1. Inside the Desktop Studio, click on the Desktop Studio node

2. Then click on the Powershell tab

3. On the Powershell tab at the bottom right click

4. Inside the Powershell interface, Enter the following command:

Update-BrokerNameCache -Machines

5. If you receive an error, try running it from the actual Desktop Delivery Controller.

6. All you have to do is go back to the “Assignments ” node then to the Desktop Group and you should see the machine names as domain name\computer name

These steps worked for me, let me know if this procedure works for you.

Hi Trent and Nishant,

 

Using the Update-BrokerNameCache command worked for you. Does that mean you didnt delete the account from PVS and DDC?

You just run the command on those machines?

 

Thanks and Advance

Update-BrokerNameCache -Machines worked for me as well.  Thanks for posting that.  I didn't have to delete anything.  Just log in to a controller and run Studio from there.  Click on Citrix Studio on the left which will show common tasks, Action, PowerShell tabs.  Click Powershell Tab then at the bottom right there is launch PowerShell.  Run the command there.

Update-Broker* command worked like a charm ... :)

 

/Thanks,

Dasith
