VERY odd, but I re-wrote the powershell and took out the spaces in the catalog name and it worked perfectly.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm running a powershell on a citrix xendesktop 5.6 farm trying to generate a random catalog and the command is hanging. &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I'm running this:<br />
<br />
New-BrokerCatalog -AllocationType Random -CatalogKind PowerManaged -Description &quot;catalog 2 Description&quot; -Name &quot;Catalog2 Name&quot;<br />
<br />
and of course I'm substituting the correct information, IE my catalog name.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
IT hangs on a &gt;&gt;&nbsp;prompt as though it's looking for more information.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I'm running the command as administrator.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Any ideas on this?<br />

PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.
