    Hey guys,

     

    This is my first post here, so let me apologize up front if I posted this question in the wrong forum.

     

    We use Softgrid in our Citrix environment and Powershell as our main scripting language.  The issue that I am asking about is that when I launch powershell on a Citrix server with Sopftgrid installed,  I get the following error.

     

     

    From the few articles that I have read,  it looks to be an issue with the Q drive.  Powershell tries to create PS drives for every mapped drive on the server when it's launched.  The error comes up because it doesn't have access to the Q drive. 

     

    Powershell works fine even with that error showing up but we've been dealing with it for a while now and I'd like to get rid of it, if possible.

     

    PS.  When I search the forums for "powershell"  I get nothing.  Is no one here using this (awesome) tool for scripting in Softgrid??

     

     

    Thanks,

    Joey

    Our WMI provider is for reporting only (i.e. read-only).  If you want to manage the client, you can use the command line interface SFTMIME.

     

    The error you're seeing in PS is fixed in the latest PS CTP of v2.

    Additional info:

     

    What classes are available to query?

    get-wmiobject -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client -list

     

    What members are available in those classes?

    get-wmiobject -class Package -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client | get-member

    get-wmiobject -class Application -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client | get-member

     

    Get some information from the client (note use of list output, table output, wildcards in properties to be displayed)

    get-wmiobject -class Application -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client | format-list Name,Version,PackageGUID,CachedOsdPath

    get-wmiobject -class Package -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client | format-table n*,v*,gl*,l*

    get-wmiobject -class Package -namespace root\microsoft\appvirt\client | format-list

    Gene,  are these WMIobjects only available in 4.5?  We are using 4.1 right now.

     

    Thanks!
