looks like i spoke too soon. It appears to be working well, I was just too impatient. It seems to take a while for all the new servers to be created in PCmonitor, and the names keep switching around and I have double servers every once in a while but they appear to be balancing themselves out. I'll give you an update tomorrow as to how it all worked out. Thanks for your help!

Here is exactly what I did. It didn't work for me.
When I booted the servers "Citrix1, Citrix2, Citrix3....etc" instead of creating a new machine to monitor for each server it created 1 new server and the name kept switching through Citrix1, Citrix2, Citrix3 and so on. Did I miss something?
- Install PC monitor on Windows 2008 R2
- Launch the Application, log in, configure all settings, disable auto-update.
- Create a pcmon.reg file with this info.
- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ComputerName]
- "ComputerName"=""
- Create a newversion.bat file with this
- net stop "pc monitor"
- pcmon.reg
- When you are finished with all changes to the machine version, run the newversion.bat and it should stop pc monitor and remove the reg key.
- Shut down the image and change the disk from maint to test/production mode.
- Boot the machine and it should create a new server to monitor in the PCMonitor client for each server booted. (takes a little while)

Anyone have any insight on how to install PCMonitor on a provisioned Citrix XenApp 6.5 server?
I have 10 application servers that I'd like to monitor. I can install PCm after the server boots, but I'd like to build it into the base image so I don't have to reinstall every time it reboots. Of course you can install it on the base image but every server that boots is a clone of the base so the unique identity isn't there.
How can I make each server uniquely register itself from the base image on boot?

I left it all night and it looks like it added all the servers but I have 3 now that show offline with the same name as 3 others. I just deleted them from the PCm client and everything seems to be running well. So the previously posted guide works well and adds a bit of automation. I assume I would have to run it every time I create a new version and put the base image back into write mode and then back to read-only.
