This article details the steps on how to create a desktop appliance site within StoreFront.
Run PowerShell as Administrator on the StoreFront server and type the following command:
& "installationlocation\Scripts\ImportModules.ps1"
Example: & "C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver\Scripts\ImportModules.ps1
Here an example of successful execution of the ImportModules command.
Enter the command Install-DSDesktopAppliance.
This will allow you to step-through all the parameters for creating a Desktop Appliance Site.
First, parameter -FriendlyName sitename.
This will allow you to create a name that will identify this desktop appliance site, for example DesktopAppliance.
Next -SiteId iissid.
This information can be found in the IIS Manager, Selecting the Sites node.
Next is -VirtualPath sitepath.
This path is relative to IIS. For example /Citrix/DesktopAppliance1.
Note: Desktop Appliance URLs are case sensitive.
Next is -UseHttps {$True | $False}.
This indicates whether StoreFront is configured for HTTPS. Default value is $false
Finally is -StoreURL storeaddress.
Storeaddress should be the address of a store that already exists on the StoreFront server. Select the appropriate store address from the list of Stores on the Storefront server. To view this info, open the Storefront management console, Select the Stores Node on the left hand side and find the URL in the Overview section in the center of the console.
In this example, you would enter -StoreURL https://sf.martinez.priv/Citrix/Store.
Press Enter key and the Script will automatically create the the Desktop Appliance Site.
Go to test site, open a browser and enter the URL of the Desktop Appliance Site, for example https://storefron.domain.com/Citrix/DesktopAppliance1.
Note: Desktop appliance site URLs are case sensitive.
Enter your domain credentials.
Once logged in, your published desktop will automatically launch.
