powershell question - changing -RootPath in \HostingUnits

[Thomas Fitzgerald1709152771]

How do I specify a certain connection (of which there are many) in \HostingUnits and set only the item on that specified connection.

If I use set-item do I just specify -PSChildName <PSChildName ie. connection name>?

Or will this assume I'm trying to set -PSChildName to something instead of specifying this is the connection I want to modify.

I'm trying to modify Network ID and other parameters of a connection. I just want to make sure I don't modify the wrong one! (since many of these parameters are common among the connections)

thnx

I tried this - I'm trying to change the path since someone on the vmware side changed the path

PS XDHyp:\hostingunits> set-item xdhyp:\hostingunits\Test -RootPath "XDHyp:\Connections\vmware\company.datacenter\path.cluster"
Set-Item : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'RootPath'.
At line:1 char:51
+ set-item xdhyp:\hostingunits\test_Citrix -RootPath <<<< "XDHyp:\Connections\vmware\company.data
center\path.cluster"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [set-Item], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetItemCommand

RootPath is in the list of parameters so not sure why it is saying invalid parameter name???

I need to change all references to the invalid path so I may also need to change Network ID, Storage, etc. unless changing the RootPath will change it for all others.

You can't change the 'RootPath' property, just the network and storage. For example, to change the network path, run the following:

Set-Item -Path ‘xdhyp:\hostingunits\Test′ -NetworkPath ‘xdhyp:\connections\Test\New Network.network’

So if the path changes on the hypervisor side, how do you fix the connection it in XD?

Hello,

I have the same question there...
if someone in vmware rename for example the datacenter object in the vcenter console,

All paths become invalid in XD related to the host connection

RootPath
NetworkPath
Storage
PersonalvDiskStorage

Is there one method to change it in XD ?

No, you will need to delete your catalogs, connections and start again from scratch, XenDesktop can not support things being renamed in external hypervisors.
