My PowerShell module to control logging of various Citrix components is now available in version 0.2. With it comes support to control Citrix Receiver logging.
Citrix Receiver is not a single piece of software. Instead it consists of multiple components. You are able to control the logging of three components: General, Authentication Manager and SelfService-PlugIn. Logging of all components is disabled by default and is controlled by registry keys. More information is available here: CTX132883.
My PowerShell module manipulates the needed registry keys. Version 0.2 publishes two new cmdlets:
- Enable-CTXReceiverLogging
- Disable-CTXReceiverLogging
You can define which component you want to control with parameters. Below is an excerpt of the help.
