Batch Delete Issued Citrix User/Device Licenses with Udadmin

Udamin.exe is a handy tool for managing Citrix user/device licenses.

To get a list of currently issued licenses run it like this:

C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS>udadmin.exe -list
Usage data is 15 minutes old. Next update in 1 minutes.
 
Users:
username1 XDT_PLT_UD 2013.0815
username2 XDT_PLT_UD 2013.0815
 
Devices:
computername1 XDT_PLT_UD 2013.0815
computername2 XDT_PLT_UD 2013.0815

You can delete individual license assignments like this:

udadmin -f FEATURE [-device | -user] NAME -delete

Unfortunately there is no built-in command that deletes all issued licenses. A one-liner batch script adds that missing functionality for device…

for /f "tokens=1,2" %i in ('udadmin -list ^| find /i "_ud"') do @udadmin -f %j -device %i -delete

…and user licenses:

for /f "tokens=1,2" %i in ('udadmin -list ^| find /i "_ud"') do @udadmin -f %j -user %i -delete

If you have both types of licenses, just run both commands one after the other.

Shutting Down Unused Persistent XenDesktop VMs
When you use XenDesktop the only way it makes sense you may find that Citrix has not really put much effort into making that a smooth experience. Persistent is a Second-Grade Citizen XenDesktop is really designed to be used with pooled desktops - machines that are reset to a pristine state when the user logs off. Of course, stateless desktops are much better (and, importantly, cheaper) served from XenApp. This has been the topic of many a debate which I will not repeat here. But I will state that if you give a so-called knowledge worker a personal desktop, you better make sure that desktop is persistent.

Filebrowser to Be Archived. Migrate to a Modern Alternative: Sambee
Filebrowser is being archived. As the author writes, the codebase dates back to when he was but 15 years old. Having created such a popular file management tool is a more than impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a teenager. However, when it comes to security and reliability, Filebrowser seems to be built on a less than ideal foundation, so much so that the author states:
