Powershell Citrix policy configuration

Question

currently working on a script to configure policies for a citrix farm. i have a few policies that have 7-8 settings each, and can add them individually with:

set-ctxgrouppolicyconfiguration [policyName] [type] [setting] [value]
set-ctx....
set-ctx....

Is there a way to read these settings into an array and pass that to the cmdlet?

I'm not too familiar with Citrix, but you could always create a list of settings in a CSV:

"PolicyName","Type","Setting","Value"
"foo","User","some","23"
"foo","User","other","42"
"bar","User","...","..."
...

define a custom function like this:

function Set-MyPolicies {
  [CmdletBinding()]
  Param(
    [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
    [PSObject[]]$Policies
  )

  Process {
    $Policies | % {
      Set-CtxGroupPolicyConfiguration @_
    }
  }
}

and put everything together like this:

Import-Csv 'C:\path\to\policies.csv' | Set-MyPolicies

The function uses splatting for simplified parameter handling (the column titles of the CSV were named after the parameters to allow this).

Excellent, this actually works better in case some of the changes need to be modified by someone else. thank you! — soMuch2Learn, Jan 17 '15 at 20:27
