Verify and Start the Citrix Profile Management Service
Ahmad Afif
2 min read
I created simple PowerShell script that checks whether the Citrix Profile Management service is running on multiple servers and starts it if it's no
$list = Get-Location
$serverListPath = "$list\citrixProfileManagementList.txt" #create one later file
$logFilePath = "$list\serviceLog.log" #will create later
$logentries = @()
$sessions = @()
$servers = Get-Content -Path $serverListPath
foreach($server in $servers){
try {
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction Stop
$sessions += $session
}
catch{
$logentry = "Server: $server - Error to create session - $_"
$logentry += $logentry
Write-Host $logentry
}
}
foreach($session in $sessions){
$serverName = $session.ComputerName
try{
$checkService = Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Service -Name "ctxprofile" -ErrorAction stop}
if($checkService.status -eq "running"){
$logentry = "server $serverName - service ctxprofile is running"
}
else {$logentry = "server $serverName - service ctxprofile is not running" }
}
catch{
$logentry = "Service ctxProfile not found on server: $server -error: $_"
}
$logEntries += $logentry
Write-Host $logentry
}
#need to close all Pssessions
<#$sessions | ForEach-Object {
Remove-PSSession -Session $_
} #>
#or can use like this
foreach($session in $sessions){
Remove-PSSession -Session $session
}
$logentries | Out-File -FilePath $logFilePath -Force
$logentries | Out-GridView -Title "Service Check Results"
For checking the service is running only and outcome in Out-Grid View (OGV), can use this powershell script
$list = Get-Location
$serverListPath = "$list\citrixProfileManagementList.txt" #create one later file
$logFilePath = "$list\serviceLog.log" #will create later
$logentries = @()
$sessions = @()
$servers = Get-Content -Path $serverListPath
foreach($server in $servers){
try {
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction Stop
$sessions += $session
}
catch{
$logentry = "Server: $server - Error to create session - $_"
$logentry += $logentry
Write-Host $logentry
}
}
foreach($session in $sessions){
$serverName = $session.ComputerName
try{
$checkService = Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Service -Name "ctxprofile" -ErrorAction stop}
if($checkService.status -eq "running"){
$logentry = "server $serverName - service ctxprofile is running"
}
else {$logentry = "server $serverName - service ctxprofile is not running" }
}
catch{
$logentry = "Service ctxProfile not found on server: $server -error: $_"
}
$logEntries += $logentry
Write-Host $logentry
}
#need to close all Pssessions
<#$sessions | ForEach-Object {
Remove-PSSession -Session $_
} #>
#or can use like this
foreach($session in $sessions){
Remove-PSSession -Session $session
}
$logentries | Out-File -FilePath $logFilePath -Force
$logentries | Out-GridView -Title "Service Check Results"
