Update 10/29/19: Added search (username/userfullname) to the Sessions tab. Studio always seems extremely sluggish to me when trying to navigate between different areas. I’m always waiting a few seconds for the refresh circle to go away every single time I navigate somewhere new. Most of the time I just need to put a machine in/out […]
——–UPDATE 3/28/2018 ———- Starting with FSLogix 2.8.12 you no longer need to do this. Great work FSLogix! From their release notes: “• An issue with first time OneDrive installation has been resolved. The issue occurred when OneDrive was installed for the first time, and OneDrive syncing began. The FSLogix agent would not redirect the OneDrive […]
I plagiarized David Ott’s script for migration of Citrix Profile Manager (UPM) profiles to FSLogix and created it for Local Profiles. NOTE: This only works between like profile versions. eg. You can’t migrate your 2008R2 profiles to Server 2016 and expect it to work. See this chart. This requires using frx.exe, which means that FSLogix […]
In my environment I have nearly 100 persistent MCS VDAs. Our developers, contractors, and even us IT people need the ability to change things on our VDI desktops (install/uninstall/set registry/create local IIS sites/etc.) and have them persist reboots. Luckily, the only software I have to maintain on these desktops is the VDA itself. That still […]
NOTE: This only works between like profile versions. eg. You can’t migrate your 2008R2 profiles to Server 2016 and expect it to work. See this chart. I moved from UPM to FSLogix earlier this year, and decided to write my own powershell script to convert the UPM profiles to .vhd. FSLogix has its own conversion […]
I have been using Full Desktop’s inside of XenApp forever. Lately I have been working on a project where I will be using only published apps. We are a CSP and a managed service provider who uses LabTech (Now ConnectWise Automate) to control all of our systems. LabTech uses a great remote access product called […]
Environment XenApp 7.6 700+ Delivered (published) Applications 60+ Windows servers (2008 R2 and 2012 R2) Scenario Recently I had a request to replicate 100+ applications from PROD to QA, using QA server configured with identical applications and identical application locations/paths. Obviously all paths to EXE files need to be the same in order for this […]
Thank you Microsoft for changing fundamental things about your operating system, with little or no regard to those of us running in an RDS/XenApp type environment. Check out this technet article. In this article it states how changes have been made. “In Pre-Win 8, apps could set the default handler for a file type/protocol by […]
As a Citrix CSP, having a good set of scripts to deploy a base environment is critical. Setting up 50 environments by hand would take far more time than with good scripting. Now that I’ve finally had some time to sit down and not be working on 6.5 stuff, I have been able to write […]
EDIT: People have been requesting a tool to deploy SMS2 secret keys en mass, and the developer hasn’t implemented it yet. Until he does I wrote a powershell script that will remotely connect to the sql database and inject the information needed for each user you select (http://pastebin.com/NBJHJPsX). I have it setup for TOTP keys… […]
