This will be short and sweet (hopefully sweet). If you have a session recording server setup you may notice that the entries/files don’t go away on their own. Here is how to clean them up: Just create a scheduled task to run the code below once per day (as system – elevated): C:\Program Files\Citrix\SessionRecording\Server\Bin\icldb.exe remove /RETENTION:7 […]
If you have tried to use Windows 10 in XenDesktop with Citrix Profile Management you have probably run into two major issues. The Issues The first issue is the start menu… which is now a database located at %localappdata%\TileDataLayer\Database. At logoff when profile manager tries to copy it off it can’t due to services locking the […]
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 […]
Just a quick script to grab XenDesktop 7.x licensing info… would probably work on XA 7.x as well. As the script is written it has to be run on the licensing server itself, but you could easily rewrite it with an “Invoke-Command” to allow it to run remotely. You could also modify it to email […]
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… […]
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’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 […]
