Importing target devices into a collection

TheImport Target Devices Wizardallows you to import target device information from a file. The target device information must first be saved as a.csvfile, it can then be imported into a device collection.

Note:

The.csvtext file can be created with a.txtfile, NotePad.exe, or Excel. It contains one line per target device, which is formatted as:

DeviceName,MAC-Address,SiteName,CollectionName,Description,Type

Where:

DeviceName = Name of new target device MAC-Address = MAC address of new device; such as 001122334455, 00-11-22-33-44-55, or 00:11:22:33:44:55 Type = 0 for production, 1 for test, or 2 for maintenance

The wizard can be accessed from the farm, site, and device collection right-click menus. If accessed from the site or collection, only those target devices in the import file that match the site and collection by name, will be included in the import list.

The wizard also provides the option to automatically create the site or collection using the information in the file, if either does not exist. There is also the option to use the default collection’s device template, if it exists for that collection.

A log file is generated with an audit trail of the import actions. For Windows Server 2008 R2, the file is located in:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Citrix\\Provisioning Services\\log
