Citrix Virtual Desktops File Evidence Report
The Citrix Virtual Desktops File Evidence report, located on the Discovery and Inventory menu (in the Citrix group), lists details of all application file evidence found on Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) servers associated with Citrix delivery groups delivering Desktops to end-users.
You may wish to generate this report for one of the following reasons:
-
Quickly identifying unrecognised file evidence (the Assigned column will display
No
), so that it can be manually assigned to an application or submitted to Flexera for addition to the Application Recognition Library -
Identifying all users who have access to applications in Citrix, and which endpoint devices the installation has been recorded against
-
Finding out what licenses are being consumed because of applications available to end-users through the virtual desktop.
