What happened to the Citrix DaaS Remote PowerShell SDK Global Variables?

August 9, 2025June 26, 2025 by Jeremy Saunders

If you are used to checking, verifying, or even leveraging the Global variables, such as XDAuthToken, XDSDKAuth, XDSDKProxy and XDSDKUser, created by the Get-XDCredentials cmdlet, Citrix has made changes to the way these cmdlets store and use this data. They have now moved these 4 values into the new NonPersistentMetadata property of the Get-XDCredentials cmdlet output.
