Measures reported by CtxXcXDSiteBSvcTest
The broker service is responsible for the brokering of user sessions to desktops or applications, and for power management of the underlying machines. Every controller in a site runs an instance of the broker service. In addition to the broker service, the following critical services also run on a controller:
- AD identity service
- Configuration service
- Host service
- Machine creation service
- Admin service
- Monitoring service
- Logging service
This test periodically checks the health of each of these services on the target controller in a XenDesktop site, and reports abnormalities (if any). With the help of this test, you can promptly detect which services have failed.
The measures made by this test are as follows:

| Mc_srv_status |
Indicates the current status of the Machine Creation Service on this broker. |
|
The Citrix Machine Creation Service creates new virtual machines.
Once a valid user logs into the XenDesktop Broker via the Web Interface, the XenDesktop Broker manages the delivery groups by building, starting, and shutting down the desktops as required. At this juncture, the XenDesktop Broker relies on Machine Creation Services (MCS) to deliver the appropriate desktop image to the Pooled and Dedicated delivery groups.
