My code signing cert expires at 7 PM on 18-Oct-2026. I will not be able to update any more doc scripts. It has been a blast (and a LOT of work) to create and maintain all the various doc scripts over the years. I have uninstalled Citrix, Parallels, and other tools I used for all the PoSH scripts. I'm slipping back into retirement mode. It has been a blast serving the EUC community. @citrix @ParallelsRAS

I updated the Downloads page, probably for the last time. My @digicert code signing certificate expires at 7 PM (Central Time) 18-Oct-2026. With the help of @FerroqueSystems and @guyrleech, I was able to get all five XenDesktop, CVAD, and Cloud/DaaS scripts updated with bug fixes and a few minor changes. Thanks for your time and help, everyone.

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop documentation script V4.10 Beta 2 is now available. Thanks to @guyrleech for his help on Beta 2. As he regularly expresses himself, he showed me how to use a regular expression to fix my fix in the Function GetComputerWMIInfo that I thought fixed the bug, but it bugged him so much he had to show me how to fix my broken fix. So, my fix is now fixed and works as a fixed fix should work. github.com/CarlWebster/Citri… github.com/CarlWebster/Citri… This is probably my last script update, as my code signing cert expires in three weeks and I have not heard back from @digicert about whether they will graciously extend it again. @shawnbass @citrix

In March 2026, I was honored as the Volunteer of the Year at the elementary school where I help kids with reading and other activities. In April 2026, I was honored to be named the Volunteer of the Year for the city school district. On Thursday, September 17th, I was honored to be named the Volunteer of the Year for the Tennessee Southeast Regional School Board Association. I love helping kids. @lionsclubs

Today I am celebrating 49 years of being clean, dry, and sober. I am thankful for all my IT friends who never made fun of me or gave me grief for avoiding alcohol.

Hey EUC Community I have some surprising and EXCELLENT news for you. Our friends at @digicert saw my social media posts about my expiring code-signing certificate. I received an email from the Manager of Technical Support offering me "a free Code Signing certificate as a token of our appreciation for all that you have done in the Tech Community". As I have been saying since 2011, #DigiCertSupportRocks!!! I have already begun the process to get my FREE THREE-YEAR code-signing certificate with a FREE hardware token. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DigiCert, for your most gracious and generous gift. I appreciate it, and I am positive the EUC and Tech communities appreciate the gift, too. Alright, EUC and Tech Communities, say Thank You to DigiCert for the three-year code-signing gift. WOW!!!!! Christmas came early.

Hello @digicert, I truly appreciate the free code-signing certificate you graciously gave me three years. Even though I am "retired", I still update my PowerShell documentation frequently. Would you consider extending your generosity for another three years?

I guess @Broadcom and @vmw_workstation want me to stay retired. I still can't download the free VMware Workstation Pro 26H1. Oh well, I tried.

I can't believe I am doing this! What happened to my "retirement"? :)

Apparently, my account was inactivated and locked. I unlocked it, changed my password, and clicked the link to activate the account. Now I need to wait for a bot or process to review my account/profile and permit me to download VMware Workstation 26H1.
