XenDesktop7

The XenDesktop7 PowerShell DSC resources can be used to deploy, configure and maintain a Citrix XenDesktop 7.x deployment.

NOTE: Use of the XD7StoreFront* resources with PowerShell v5.0's PsDscRunAsCredential parameter is not supported. This typically only affects the XenDesktop7Lab composite resources as the XD7StoreFront* resources don't have a Credential parameter.

NOTE: The majority of the XD7StoreFront* resources use the newer StoreFront 3.6+ PowerShell module and not the legacy StoreFront 3.0 SDK.
