We have created a number of scripts for a client recently that once done
we can share around. All of these use the MFCOM and I would recommend
you get started there for any type of Citrix/CMC scripting
All of the ones we just completed are done in VB/WSH
The following is a list of what they do:
Printer clean up (enumerates servers from the farm then goes and does a
clean up on each one. Can also be done By Zone if your zones are
datacenter boundaries
TS reboots that also enumerates servernames out of the MCM then will
pull each server out of the published app list prior to loggin people
off, cleaning up printer, doing delprof etc. Then after reboot can place
the server back into the list of apps or not depending on a parameter
passed to the script. Can also be done by Zone
MFADDUSERS (Good for 2000 but great for 2003) Used to add domain groups
to the Local users or Remote desktop users on MF servers. It does this
by enumerating the servers in the farm via MFCOM so that all servers can
be hit without maintaining a text file of server names. The nice thing
is you can use this code for anything that you want to do to all the
servers in the farm. Its one big FOR EACH that hits every server in the
CMC
Print driver Mapping Removal/addition:
Got a HUGE fricking list of driver mappings that are all messed up in
your farm? Our client had 1000+. we wrote a script to remove these from
the CMC and dump them to a text file. A known good (and slimmed down)
wtsuprn type file was then imported using our Print Driver Mapping
Addition script which added the new (400+) mapping file into the CMC.
This is way more stable than CTX's command line import for these types
of files.
Basically the MFCOM allows you to do almost anything.... Once these
scripts are cleaned up (so as to remove client specific stuff) we will
make them available. (of course there are a few we are keeping up our
sleeves :-)

Hi Tony,
In answer to your question, which appears un-uuencoded below:
The Citrix server SDK exposes quite a bit of the APIs used by the CMC
and
has a number of example programs that give you command line
functionality to
some of the CMC functions. Examples of these include the enum/export and
newapp utilities that allow you to save and restore, and create new
published applications from the command line.
This stuff is VB scriptable as well, and I'm embarrassed that I can't at
this time remember the author of a script that strips published apps off
a
server and then restores them.
Regards,
Rick

I recall someone mentioning this before but I forget what the tool was.
A client asked me if there is a command line tool to script the
functions
(specifically add users into the citrix administrators) during a
scripted
build process of their Citrix servers. This should be able to be done
via
API calls, but I recall someone mentioning a tool that was available
that
could perform some CMC functions via command line.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony.
