I'm glad it wasn't in the scripts I tested for you! Heh.
I will see if I can adapt that to my needs, cheers!

Boy, if you had bothered to check out my PVS Documentation script, you would
see I have that info in there! :)

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough :-0
I need to detect it programatically somehow, either with a script, checking a
Registry key, file, etc. I'm trying to automate the normalization routines and
I want to make it run only when the system is in Private mode
TIA,
JR

If you open up the the Systray icon (statustray.exe) it will show what mode the
image is in and which server you are connected too. You can also see the mode
listed in the PVS Console.

Anyone have any links to share to a script or other method that can tell me
whether a XenApp 6.5 server's PVS vDisk is in Private mode?
I'm sure this could be done in VB and maybe PS as well...just kinda struggling
to get a starting point :-(
TIA,
