Change "Display name" of a server that is shown in Director

[Nicola Gualtieri1709158447]

Where can I change the display name of a server? In Citrix Director if I look the details of a machine there is a line named "Display name". Where can I change that value? See the image for details. In my example the display name is "XD-Test" and I want to change it to something else.

Hi,

 

I had the same Problem. Solution was the 'Get-BrokerDesktopGroup' Cmdlet.

 

Get-BrokerDesktopGroup | select Name,PublishedName

 

You have to change the PublishedName attribute like this:

Get-BrokerDesktopGroup -Name '<name>' | Set-BrokerDesktopGroup -PublishedName '<new PublishedName>'

 

Now you should see a the new Display Name in Citrix Director.

hi, you have to edit the Desktop Name in the Deliverygroup. The Display Name is the Application Name

Hi Thomas

Thank you for the fast reply. That was also my first thought, but unfortunately it's not that simple. :-) There must be another place where this can be changed. It may be, that it's not a setting that can be changed with a GUI but with powershell.

And just for completition, this are the details of the machine in Citrix Studio. There is no line with "Display name".

Have you reopend the director?

Normaly displayname means the application name.

[Nicola Gualtieri1709158447]

Not in this case. It's not related to an application.

 

"Display name" is a value that Director is taking from an unknown place to me. A restart of Director doesn't help. If I change the browser language to German "Display name" is shown as "Anzeigename" in the Machine details.

Hi,

 

Can you try running this command to change ? 

 

Get-BrokerPrivateDesktop -DesktopGroupUid <UIDDesktopgroup> | Set-BrokerPrivateDesktop -PublishedName <New Name>

Run Get-BrokerDesktopGroup -Name <Name of desktop Group>  and make a note of UID for the above command.

Hi Krishna

I belive this command would also change the Desktop name and not the Display name.

 

 

Btw. I'll be away for a few days. I'll return to work on Monday. So in the meantime I'll not be able to see replys and answer those.

[Nicola Gualtieri1709158447]

My collegue found the right powershell command to correct the name. The display name in Citrix Director remains unalterred.

 

So be carefull what names you give to your environment wehn installing a new one!
