summary database

System DSN - rmsummarydatabase | driver = SQL Server

Goal: Every now and then, we get a request from a development group or application support group that wants to know usage statistics for their application. Knowing there is several different methods to acquire this information we are going to attache directly to the summary database and only query the information we want to see.

  1. you already have a summery database configured for your xenapp farm

  2. you are actively collecting client and farm information
