Citrix XA XD 7.15 VDA Registration troubleshoot help request. TCP and UDP port communication for VDA Registration, need a script.

Citrix XA XD 7.15 VDA Registration troubleshoot help request.
Citrix Health Assistant - Troubleshoot VDA Registration and Session Launch: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX207624
VDA registration:
VDA Machine Domain Membership
VDA Communication Port Availability
VDA Services Status
Windows Firewall Configuration
Communication with Controller
Time Sync with Controller
VDA Registration Status
Session Launch:
Session Launch Communication Port Availability
Session Launch Services Status
Session Launch Windows Firewall configuration
VDA Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses
VDA Application Launch Path

When any one of the parameters not available or communicating, this tool will give only Error. It won't give the Solution.
For Example, VDA Communication Port Availability, and Session Launch Communication Port Availability: This Tool won't tell us which ports are required to enable or Communicate.

My Query is, Especially, TCP and UDP  port communication for VDA Registration, need a script.
That script should provide list of ports available and what ports are not opened.

I would suggest running Citrix Scout on a DDC, and then uploading the collected data to Citrix Insight Services (CIS). CIS will perform many health checks on your configuration. See Citrix Scout for detailed information.

Thank you, Sam.
I am looking at the first level of Troubleshooting step.
Using PowerShell Script Shall we check TCP and UDP port communication?  If yes, please provide a script.
I want to check what ports are opened between DDC and VDA (From VDA), DDC and License Server, DDC and Data Store (DB).
If I am giving DDC, License Server, Data Store, VDA components input eighter in Hostname or IP, then the script will provide the ports opened among these components.
Shall I get such Script or any tool (Which already we have )?
Scout is what checks the above … you don't need a separate script. Here is what Scout checks for VDA's (among other things):

I cannot use Scout as described above, but another good tool doing the same checks and even more is the Citrix Health Assistant:

Hi Sam Jacobs and Olivier MARCHETTA, Thanks for your response.
As I mentioned earlier, both tools (Scout and Health Assistant) are checks "VDA Communication Port Availability" and "Session Launch Communication Port Availability".
They will give only Error. These tools are not giving which port is required to open between which servers.
If we capture TCP and UDP port details for "VDA Registration" with Source and Destination and create any tool or Script, That will provide a quick resolution for that time.
As per my experience, most of the cases these ports only the culprits for VDA Registration issues.
Hence, I am more emphasizing in this area.
