Desktop Director Integrate with Citrix XenApp 6.5 Farm

It is possible to setup Desktop Director 2.x to talk to XenApp server farms to enable cross farm support from 1 console.

Shadowing does not work to Xenapp sessions, but it does at least give a view of users Xendesktop and Xenapp connection all from 1 console.

The full instructions from Citrix are in this Citrix Article

In the event of problems and troubleshooting being required use the following http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX130320

I have had problems with my setup and have performed the following tasks to troubleshoot.
I will post back more once i have the solution working.

Add Service.AutoDiscoveryAddressesXA entry to the Desktop Director Application Setting with the name of XenApp Controller. 

Ensure Ports 80, 2513 and 5985 are open between the Desktop Director and the XenApp Controller

Ensure WinRM is running correctly on the XenApp server with 
winrm quickconfig
(this requires Firewall service running to show without errors)

Ensure the Listener is setup with the following command
winrm set winrm/config/Service @{EnableCompatibilityHttpListener="true"}

Run the ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe tool from the Xendesktop SourceSW to set permissions
ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe /configwinrmuser >\group
