Change XenDesktop 7.6 SQL Server

If you setup the SQL Express edition and need to move it for production. This is how.

Open PowerShell as and Administrator:

Add-PSSnapin Citrix*
Get-LogDataStore
Get-MonitorDataStore

They BOTH output something like this:


ConnectionString : Server=XDC-PROD01\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=CTX-XD7-PROD;Integrated Security=True

DataStore        : Site


DatabaseType     : SqlServer


Provider         : MSSQL


SchemaName       : Monitor


Status           : OK



ConnectionString : Server=XDC-PROD01\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=CTX-XD7-PROD;Integrated Security=True

DataStore        : Monitor


DatabaseType     : SqlServer


Provider         : MSSQL


SchemaName       : MonitorData


Status           : OK



Copy the contents of the BOLD above to a string and change the server name and instance details with server= in the prefix.



$CS = “server=REMOTE-PROD01\SQL02;Initial Catalog=CTX-XD7-PROD;Integrated Security=True”




  • Set-LogSite -State Disabled


  • Set-LogDBConnection -DataStore Logging -DBConnection $null

Nokia 1020 camera verses IPhone 6

 

With two photos taken in the same spot within a minute, no options, just default point and shot. With my none scientific methods I think the Nokia 1020 still has the better image colours, and of course the resolution / reframe options. So the winner - Nokia 1020 !

Zoomed in 300%
