set provisioned XenApp XenApp servers automatically generate

Have not we all got the XenDesktop Setup Wizard? But yeah, sure!
it quite impressive how quickly so many VMs for use, may generate as XenDesktop VDAS. But what is provisioned with terminal servers? XenApp to offer the provision as provisioned VM for many reasons: easy patch management, flexible scaling, exact same server (we call it for years) and washable server - no profile, no ActiveX plugin, not a corrupt print job survive Now reboot. The old saying "reboot tut gut" never had more truth.
Sorry requires the use of XenDesktop Setup Wizards a DDC - I know of systems integrators, to replace the rapid creation of many XA VMs a DDC or bring a VM just to run the XD Setup Wizard to. It is the creation of virtual desktop VMs fooled only automates the following steps to let it run:

1. creating multiple copies of a template VM on the XenServer
2. submit the generated MAC addresses as a target device in the PVS DB
3. Numbered right to generate and create AD accounts

I offer these steps as a batch file in this blog entry available maybe even save someone's day :-) Finally we can hereby not only a XenApp generate spontaneously but a bunch of Web servers for a load test, an army of XenDesktop provisioned VDAS for 5 or just a lot of identical VMs for whatever purpose .

prerequisite for the use of "xacreator.bat" is running on a system that has both XenCenter, and the PVS Console are installed. The paths to xe.exe and mcli.exe at the beginning of the batch file must be adjusted if necessary.

is sure to IP, username and password to access XenServer adapted to be - I would just point out discreetly that plain text passwords in a batch file represent a risk. Do you know? Sure.
must also be notified of the name of a template, a PVS and PVS Site Collection.

So, here is the script, as always, copy & paste suitable for batch file (fits through any firewall in each clipboard and can be sent via email - every time, unfortunately, beyond just the pretty layout):
