Post credit goes to David62277, a community contributor from #Citrix IRC on Freenode In order to update certain software on a PVS image (hosting platform tools, pvs target device software, etc) it is required to “reverse image” your vdisk back to a normal VM, install your update, and image back to vdisk. This is because […]
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 […]
Often when troubleshooting an issue a need arises to collect logs from multiple machines. This is easily achieved when the number of machines is small, or known – a few servers or desktops here or there – but when it comes to analyzing logs for a large pooled-random group of desktops or several hundred computers […]
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 […]
I’ve been using PNAgent to create Desktop/Start Menu shortcuts for years. I’ve always thought it was a good method to give users only what icons they have access to launch. With the new Group Policy Preferences that have come out with Server 2008, we now have another option. I find that GPP based shortcuts […]
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 […]
