Simple script to change the Presentation Server 4.5 Edition
Description
Script Author:Christian Gehring
For server deployments, IT stuff can save effort in using automated deployment mechanism. To set the proper edition after upgrading to Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 platinum you have to set the edition on each server using the Access Management Console or you can use the SetCPSEditon.vbs script.
The MFCOM Winserver5 Interface provides a method called MPSEdition() where you can read and write the editions for each defined server. After writing this parameter it is recommended to reboot your server.
To display all current editions within your entire farm you can use the following syntax in a command shell:
cscript SetCPSEditon.vbs display
The scripts creates a log file called c:\logfile.txt where all server and editions displayed.
To set an edition to an individual server type:
cscript SetCPSEdition.vbs <servername> <edition>
Where servername is the name of the server and edition the CPS edition
Product Edition Description
STD Citrix Presentation Server Standard Edition
ADV Citrix Presentation Server Advanced Edition
ENT Citrix Presentation Server Enterprise Edition
PLT Citrix Presentation Server Platinum Edition
To change all servers in the entire farm we added an 'all' option to the script.
cscript SetCPSEdition.vbs all <edition>
Note:
After you have changed the edition you have to reboot your server.

When you right click on the Server you have several options:
1. Set Metaframe Edition - where you can select via a radio option: STD, ADV, ENT, PLT
2. Set Metaframe Version - this sets the "Product Version"
Does this script change both?
Also, we are on PS4.0 not PS4.5 but want to know if this script is designed for and will work to change the "Set Metaframe Edition" value to PLT. We are upgrading our PS40 HFRU2 servers to HFRU4. We have seen that the HFRU4 upgrade adds an additional radio button for the new PLT option, but it does not change it to PLT. We need to programatically change this on over 300 servers.
