Detailed Description

Provides the ability to create identity pools that can be used to store AD computer accounts.

The naming scheme, naming scheme type, and domain must be specified if the identity pool is to be used to create new accounts.

Each identity pool is tied to a single domain. All the identities in an identity pool belong to the same domain. If the domain is not specified by a parameter to this command the domain will be set when an account is imported into it.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
IdentityPoolName The name of the identity pool. This must not contain any of the following characters \/;:#.*?=<> []()""' true false
WorkgroupMachine Indicates whether the accounts created should be part of a workgroup rather than a domain. true false
NamingScheme Defines the template name for AD accounts created in the identity pool. The scheme can consist of fixed characters and a variable part defined by '#' characters. There can be only one variable region defined. The number of '#' characters defines the minimum length of the variable region. For example, a naming scheme of H#### could create accounts called H0001, H0002 (for a numeric scheme type) or HAAAA, HAAAB (for an alphabetic type).
Citrix recommends that you define a naming scheme that will not clash with accounts which already exist in AD; account creation will fail if a clash occurs.
There are restrictions on what constitutes a valid computer name: Minimum name length: 2 (DNS) Maximum name length: 15 bytes (NetBIOS) The following characters are not allowed in a computer name: backslash (\) slash mark (/) colon (:) asterisk (*) question mark (?) quotation mark (") less than sign (<) greater than sign (>) vertical bar (
) comma (,) tilde (~) exclamation point (!) at sign (@) number sign (#) dollar sign (\$) percent (%) caret (^) ampersand (&) apostrophe (') parenthesis (()) braces ({}) underscore (_) The following names are reserved and must not be used at the end of the naming scheme: -GATEWAY -GW -TAC Names must not start with a period (NetBIOS). Names must not be composed entirely of numbers (NetBIOS). Names must not contain a blank or space characters (DNS). false false
NamingSchemeType The type of naming scheme. This can be Numeric or Alphabetic. This defines the format of the variable part of the AD account names that will be created. false false Numeric
AllowUnicode Allow the naming scheme to have characters other than alphanumeric characters. false false
IdentityType The type of identity type. This can be ActiveDirectory, AzureAD, HybridAzureAD, or Workgroup. false false ActiveDirectory
DeviceManagementType The type of device management type. This can be Intune, IntuneWithCitrixTags, or None. false false None
StartCount Specifies the next number to be used when creating new AD accounts in the identity pool. false false 1
Scope The administration scopes to be applied to the new identity pool. false false
TenantId Specifies identity of tenant associated with identity pool. Must always be specified in multitenant sites, must not be specified otherwise. false false
ZoneUid The UID that corresponds to the Zone in which these AD accounts will be created. This is only intended to be used for Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers. false false
AzureADSecurityGroupName The name of AzureAD security group. This is only intended to be used when IdentityType is "AzureAD" or "HybridAzureAD". false false
AzureADAccessToken The access token of Microsoft Graph API. Must be specified if "AzureADSecurityGroupName" is specified to create Azure AD security group, and IdentityType is "AzureAD" or "HybridAzureAD". false false
AzureADTenantId The tenantId of AzureAD. Must be specified if "AzureADSecurityGroupName" is specified to create Azure AD security group, and IdentityType is "AzureAD" or "HybridAzureAD". false false
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. false false
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false
TraceParent Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false
TraceState Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false
AdminAddress The address of a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.
OU The OU that computer accounts will be created in. If this is not specified, accounts are created into the default account container specified by AD. This is the 'Computers' container for out-of-the-box installations of AD. The OU must be a valid AD container of the domain specified for the pool. false false
Domain The AD domain name for the pool. Specify this in FQDN format; for example, MyDomain.com. false false

Description

Create a new identity pool from which accounts can be created in the domain called "MyDomain.com" using a numeric scheme of the format Acc####. The first account created from this identity pool will be named Acc0001 and placed in the OU named "MyOU".
New AD accounts can be imported into this pool too, but must be from the Domain "MyDomain.com".
