How do I do a quick Citrix farm evaluation?

Citrix QFARM command line tool - How to get a quick status of existing Citrix farm

On a Citrix server a quick status of the Citrix server farm can be used by executing the QFARM command from a command prompt.

"QFARM" without any parameters returns information similar to what is listed below.

In this case I ran the command from the server with the * and the data collector is CA03P.
Server Transport Network Address
-------------------- --------- --------------------
CA01P* TCP/IP 10.100.30.30
CA02P TCP/IP 10.100.30.31
CA03P TCP/IP 10.100.30.32 D
CA04P TCP/IP 10.100.30.33

"QFARM /load" will show the load that each server currently has based on how the load evaluator is configured.

Ranges for the /load command
• 0-9998: Normal range
• 99999: No load evaluator configured
• 10000: Load is at 100%
• 20000: Xenapp server edition or license mismatch
• 99990: Administrator with restricted rights attempts to run commands like qfarm /load
