UPDATE: I found trying to run this script through the Netscaler Gateway failed due to differences in the web pages. I re-wrote the script so it will work internal directly to StoreFront, and externally with Netscaler Gateway. The main caveat is that the wficalib.dll doesn’t allow you to logoff the session when going through the […]
I have seen where PVS targets (mainly Desktop OS) will fail to activate via KMS after booting, and/or not get the proper group policy settings. I think this is because PVS hasn’t released the network when Windows is trying to activate/update gpo (or something along those lines). On top of this in my environment I […]

I recently ran into an issue where Citrix Profile Manager was not catching all the files from a user installed Office Add-in. I found the path to the files and they were in %localappdata%\Apps\2.0. Even if I specifically added a policy to sync that folder it still did not get every file needed for the […]

I am in the process of building out a new XenApp environment for a customer, and was thinking… “It would be so nice to automate the ‘Configure and run discovery’ settings”. So how do you accomplish this? I know my service desk would appreciate it! The answer is a custom “MMC”. Below are the steps […]

This will go over how to setup a single Access Gateway Vserver connecting to Multiple Domains using a single Pair of web interface servers. This might sound confusing at first but in reality its pretty strait forward. This article assumes that you already have some basic knowledge of how to setup netscaler and xenapp with […]

I’m sure we are all familiar with the Shutdown Event Tracker. Hypervisor crash for “no reason”? Have a bunch of servers power down hard “by accident”? It happens to all of us. What’s annoying about this, specifically in a XenApp/RDS environment is the fact that when a regular user logs in they will see […]

I’m not going to go into the details about what Multi-Stream ICA (MSI) is in this article. I assume you already have a basic understanding of what this is and you are really just here to figure out how to configure it. If you do not, a great Citrix blog about Multi-Stream ICA has been […]

Why Windows didn’t enable this feature in the built in GPOs is beyond me. Regardless, I needed a way to disable Windows Defender automatic scans to keep my hundreds of XenApp servers from running a scan at 2am and most likely crushing my storage infrastructure. So, what am I talking about here? How to […]

Today I got stuck publishing apps that had icons in the %windir%\System32\ folder on the XenApp server. There are a couple ways around this but my personal favorite is to reference sysnative. So lets say your trying to publish the TS Licensing Manager, the exe only sits in the 64 bit OS Path on 2008r2 […]
So I like to have a group that can run every and all published application so I can login and at least smoke test them. Thats far to much clicking for me, so powershell to the rescue.

Add-PSSnapIn citrix.xenapp.commands $Groups="Revord\Citrix_Admins" Get-XAApplication | foreach {Add-XAApplicationAccount $_.BrowserName $Groups} |
Those 3 lines gets Citrix_Admins into EVERY published application, not to shabby. Lets take it a bit […]
