What is a VPN Used For

The human brain is the most powerful and yet the least understood part of the human anatomy. While there is much we do not know, researchers have been able to determine some amazing facts about our gray matter. For example, if your brain is a computer, it would be equivalent to half a million Sony PlayStation 4 (TM) game consoles be. In networking terms, it would consist of 100 billion nodes and 1 quadrillion links.

These and many other facts in this following info-graphic, inspired by the Citrix 2019 technology landscape and Citrix Chief Technology Advocate identified Reuven Cohen.

XenMobile: Automated APNS Certificate Signing Service

XenMobile now customers an automated service provides a CSR for signing submit. Previously, customers had CSRs manually submit a Citrix SE or Support Organization. The improved process, customers can submit requests to Citrix at XenMobile APNs CSR Signing website (MyCitrix ID required). After submission of Citrix CSR is with its Mobile Signing Device Management signing certificate and automatically the signed file back to the customer

XenMobile - APNS Certificate Signing Service Web Portal

Once the customer the signed CSR from Citrix it receives the signed CSR Apple on Apple push certificate portal (Apple ID required) easily submit and then download the APNs certificate from Apple.

The last step in this process is to import the APNs certificate from Apple in XenMobile Device Manager.

The method for producing an APNs certificate requests

Recently I gave a webinar (recorded for your viewing pleasure) to upgrade to XenApp 7.6, and during this Webinar is only of many efforts was a large turnout Citrix everyone does to make the upgrade to XenApp 7.6, there. Citrix has a website (www.citrix.com/xenapp/upgrade) dedicated to help all of you who are looking at upgrading your existing XenApp 7.6, with links to resources, free training, special programs and more.

I want all to thank you for participating and for presenting some really great questions that I will answer trying to

. F: without electricity user is connecting Leasing enable session to connect Citrix applications, while the database is down?

A: Yes. The delivery controller is to maintain a list of previous connections of the user. These connection parameters used so far will be used in the future when the database is unavailable. The standard time frame is 2 weeks, but this can be modified with power. Leo Singleton wrote a great blog about the ins and outs of the compound Leasing

. Q: When local text echo functionality included with XenApp 7.6?

A: HDX over many years has been extended to the responsiveness and interactivity of the user session, some Local Text Echo was doing, but to improve in a slightly different manner. So local text echo, as it was in 6.5, is not part of 7.6, but HDX contains interactive enhancements that make obsolete the need for local text echo

. Q: How much RAM should give the "Cache in RAM with overflow to disk" feature for XenApp 7.6?

A: Any amount will be an advantage. I have 1 seen assigned 2 and 3 GB of RAM per VM demonstrate significant value to a XenApp VM what IOPS of less than 1 per user. Read more on overflow on the hard drive for XenApp on my blog on 'changing the read / write ratio for XenApp "

Q: What license do I need for XenApp vgpu sharing feature

. A: Available for Enterprise and Platinum Refer to the following feature matrix http://www.citrix.com/go/products/xendesktop/feature-matrix.html

Q: Are there numbers that match the size of the database

A: Yes, these values ​​not changed much since this version?: http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/36246-102-707006/XenDesktop%207%20Database%20Sizing_v4.pdf

Q: When migrating (not replicate), the XenApp servers have IMA and FMA is running at the same time

A: No. When you are ready, a. XenApp to migrate 6.5 workers on the XenApp 7.6 site, the upgrade Wizard removes the 6.5 workers from the farm, uninstall the 6.5 software and install the 7.6 VDA while the server in the 7.6 site place

. Q: there is a difference / risks of migration tools when using a do rebuild from the farm (assuming that the underlying operating system does not change) [?

a: on the migration tool, the Farm and policy settings migration is only a time saver, especially for large, complex environment As for XenApp workers, many people prefer to reconstruction that it is an opportunity. , again to update the server to a clean state (assuming you have not used something like PVS for image management). The advantage of the upgrade wizard for the workers is that you do not re-install the app / configuration must go

. Q: What steps should I take from version 7.5 to 7.6 do update and wherein the steps ?? License Server? Delivery Controller? Storefront? Director? VDA? What is the correct order

? A: Please refer to this document for detailed steps http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp-xendesktop-76/xad-upgrade.html

Q: If my policies stored in Active Directory, instead of XenApp, do I have the policy Export utility perform

A: No, the export / import farm stored information is only for. For AD policy, you will continue to use them

Q: If the import utility also farm application icons

A: Yes. The symbols are exported and imported as part of the Migration Tool

Q: Does the migration program work for XenApp 6?

A: Yes, although it experimentally. used the commands to the farm, policies and application settings from XenApp 6.5 are the same in XenApp 6.0, but collect the migration program was nearly as in depth as XenApp 6.5

Q untested .: in XenApp 6.5, when we launch two different applications, both of which are hosted on the same server, it creates only 1 session. Is that still the case in 7.6

? A: is This session sharing called and it works in XenApp 7.6

Q: Can VDA on Windows 03 Server installed?

A: No, the VDA only supports Windows 08R2 SP1 2012 2012R2, 7 SP1, 8 and 8.1

Q: How do we allow provisioning Services- RAM cache function, the IOPS for XenApp 6.5 environments conserves?

. A: You need to be managed in the latest version of Provisioning Services and XenApp 6.5 server by Provisioning Services to upgrade

Q: mixed domain environment supported with XenApp 7.6?

A: Yes. Many different types are supported by complex Active Directory deployments, as can be seen from this article: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX122417

Q: Is App-V required for XenApp 7.6, if I would like to stream my applications, like I did in XenApp 6.5?

A: Yes. Application streaming is included in XenApp 6.5 was replaced with Microsoft App-V. 7.6 XenApp includes integration with App-V publishing and integration simplify

. Q: I'm already on XenApp 7.5. Is it worth it to go on XenApp 7.6?

A: You want the following page (http://www.citrix.com/products/xenapp/whats-new.html) and the Webinar on What's new check in XenApp 7.6. Once you are on XenApp 7.x, the upgrade process that simply you can do in place upgrades on a component-by-component basis. So you can have one controller to 7.6 and another at 7.5, while VDAs to 7.5 are. In this way you can take your time to avail for the upgrade instead, a big band type applications do

. Q: We are on XenApp 4.5 and opt to 6.5 and 7.6 to upgrade. Which version would you recommend

? A: As a XenApp 4.5, a solution is Windows 03, you are correct that the time to upgrade is now. I would recommend to the latest Windows operating system (2012R2) move that allows you to enter the longevity over anything else. Plus, when you start with XenApp 7.6, you will not think about the upgrade 6.5-7.6

. Q: When is XenApp 6.5 end of life

A: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX122442

Q: find all Dates Product Lifecycle XenApp here If we have a multiple geographical location providing XenApp 6.5 are using zones, which means we implement Delivery controller, SQL Server, etc. at any place

a need: Provided that these geographical locations are not connected with a low latency connection, then yes, you will have a XenApp Web site at each location. Depending on the size of the pages, it could be advantageous, as this allows you to build smaller failure domains as every site is independent, a fatal error in a location not bring another site. But for XenApp 6.5 deployments with many small areas of only a few servers each, if you are not able to consolidate in a single data center, you are on XenApp 6.5 for the period.

[1945003bleiben] Q. Can a XenApp 7.6 Website Windows 08 and 2012 Server contain

? A: Yes. Based on the new FMA architecture you can create a single page with Windows 08R2 Windows 2012 and 2012R2 have

. Q: What happens when one of the delivery controller goes offline? Is there a service outage

? On a. In XenApp 7.6, all delivery controllers within a site are active-active. If you remember, in XenApp 6.5 and earlier versions, you have a Zone Data Collector, and if the data collector fails, a new one will be selected, which can also host applications. This has caused performance problems if not configured correctly. This risk is no longer relevant in XenApp 7.6

Q: How can we App aggregation feature of storefront and the user grouping in web interface

A configure: See this article: storefront app aggregation: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/dws-storefront-26/dws-configure-ha-example.html and interface user roaming Web: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/web-interface-impington/wi-configure-xd-user-roaming-gransden.html

Q: When I 7.6 to XenApp upgrade from 7.5, I have to storefront to update? Do I have to the web interface to upgrade to storefront

? On a. You can stay on the current version. It could, however, a situation where a new feature in XenApp not work with an older component, or you can use a new storefront Not

. Q: What file did you use? the facade app aggregation function

Configure A: is here: C: inetpub wwwroot Citrix store name web.config where "store name" is the name of your Shops. Also, make a backup copy of the web.config file before changing

. F :? Regarding the database, what information there on high availability

A: For high availability, see the following reference: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp-xendesktop-76/xad-plan-high-availability.html

As a member of Citrix Technical Support for more than a decade, I am proud of some helping valuable and often share overlooked information quickly locate problems and your Citrix receiver to solve problems effectively. Multiple Citrix components provide important diagnostic information. Since most connection scenarios touching multiple Citrix products, this debug information is often removed through multiple independent products.

Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop offer CDF trace

CDF trace our primary Citrix Diagnostic Facility is included and is available in several other Citrix products as well. After basic troubleshooting, Citrix Support will often ask for a CDF trace while to reproduce a problem. The CDF trace is generally obtained by the support representative for a detailed analysis. While this scenario for solving problems has a good track record, it does require access to public (and private) icons to parse the data into readable messages.

Receiver for Mac

For our Mac customers, we have four types of logs: Installer logs, Store Communication protocols Authentication Manager logs and ICA protocols Engine. Motor logging ICA is only in a special debug Receiver for Mac, which can be provided by a support staff available if needed. The other three protocols are readily available in the public version of the Receiver for Mac, but require logging to be activated. The log created is readable without additional parsing.

Receiver extended for iOS logs containing

This is a log function that records all the receiver's debug messages. To the relevant data, Collect advanced protocols must be enabled on your iOS device before you reproduce the problem. A collection of sequential log files are created and are easily shared using the usual methods of the device, such as email or file-sharing applications such as File Share. Since there are a number of protocols, it is important to put the relative time of the failing steps taken to reproduce a problem. These protocols are also highly legible with timestamp and detailed messages (Please note that the extended protocols are disabled after they are sent from the device).

Receiver for Android

We use Android built in log collector collected Logcat. Logging for the Receiver for Android is always on, so it must not be activated. The output is a single log file are all Citrix Receiver messages, so again, a good time marker of the problem is useful. Receiver for Android protocols is the stack traces if a recipient crash occurs.

As Mac and iOS, these protocols are easy to examine for anyone. If all of these protocols, look for clear error messages or obvious failures. If possible, a successful repeat and the appearance does not need to examine them the differences. Search Citrix Support with these questionable messages. Hopefully with the power of this diagnosis you can solve your Citrix Receiver are efficient

Learn more about the new graphics delivery modes
and user experience to improve

have My colleague Gabriel Nguyen and I wrote this comprehensive post , to help you to better influence graphics in the latest XenApp and XenDesktop versions to understand the changes.

XenDesktop 7.x was released for a while and has a number of improvements, including new display technologies such as desktop composition Redirection (the development of Aero Redirection) and H.264). This new delivery methods were on the desktop composition feature is introduced, introduced in Windows Vista and have fundamentally the way applications display pixels on the screen (read more) changed.

If you're Technologies or if you used no idea about the codec to transmit Citrix unfamiliar with these new ads, they can be found in Citrix Virtual Desktop Manual 7.x. Many sections are relevant to both XenApp and XenDesktop. Read more about it in Amit blog series (part 7).

With that said, have you ever wondered if any of these display modes is used by default? Or what operating systems are compatible with these modes? Do you also have the wide range of graphic guidelines in Citrix Studio notice (Or wondered which ones apply to the delivery mode you want to use for your VDAs)? If all or even resonates one of these questions with you, this blog will be useful

We have these problems addressed and will deliver on realistic applications "out of the box," a tutorial:

1. I would like to 5 for Windows Server to migrate XenApp 03 XenDesktop 7.x Windows Server 08 R2 VDAS in a very low bandwidth environment, how can I configure my graphics directives?
2. I would like to migrate from 5.6 to XD XD 7.x, how should I put my new policy?

The Big Three (quick reminder)

There are now three main HDX ICA delivery methods in 7.x XenDesktop and XenApp:

• desktop composition Redirection (DCR)
• H.264 enhanced Super codec
• legacy graphics mode

Each graphics mode has its advantages and disadvantages, and again the Citrix Virtual desktop manual 7.x will help you.

desktop composition Redirection (DCR)

DCR is only in XenDesktop with client OS VDAS (Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.x), in conjunction with Windows endpoints. Historically, individual applications would draw make calls on our legacy display driver, which in turn generate HDX (thin wire) protocol to perform would draw on the end user device. With DCR we do Desktop Window Manager (DWM) level are now working with the help of the GPU on the user device to scan the Windows desktop UI. This graphic mode requires DirectX compatible Windows endpoint. DCR is basically an improved version of the Aero Redirection XenDesktop 5.x

NOTE: For now, only Windows Vista, 7 and 8.0 / 8.1 supports endpoints. A prototype of DCR for Mac OS was shown at Citrix Synergy conference, but that is not yet available on the market.

H.264 enhanced Super Codec

The HDX Super Codec is an amalgam of codecs optimized for different types of data. From XenApp / XenDesktop 7.x super codec has an adaptive H.264 encoder extends the Windows 8/2012 new display architecture and the way it attracts window support. From Windows Vista from, although GDI is still supported, it is considered a legacy API from Microsoft. The Citrix Legacy Display Driver is optimized, however, to published GDI commands with successive Windows operating system GDI has transitioned to be a software implementation and not directly supported in the Windows Display Driver.

Although Windows 7 provided a mechanism for loading and using the Citrix Legacy Display Driver, which is no longer available from the Windows 8. Therefore implemented Citrix improved Super Codec, adaptive H.264 technology use that was previously only in the XenDesktop HDX 3D Pro VDA. , Further improvements also as an additional lossless quality text display technology

IMPORTANT have been introduced: when the end point of a non-H.264 aware Receiver runs, we have ensured a relapse "compatibility mode". In "normal use" (the visual quality is as high, medium or low) compatibility mode relies to a large extent on compressed JPEG transfer. Although compatibility mode using JPEG compression, it can be intense bandwidth and we would recommend you use this to avoid as the primary delivery mechanism to the current time.

compatibility mode use is most commonly seen when users have failed (or not) to update their receivers, we would a receiver at least as recent as the server installation of XenDesktop recommend always strong with.

legacy graphics mode

This is the Citrix display mode, used in previous XA / XD versions. Many improvements have been over the years, such as progressive display (PS 4.5 and above), extra color compression (XD4 FP1 and later), Adaptive Display (XD5.5 / XA 6.5 HRP1 and above) introduced, etc ... operation to supply systems with GDI (Windows 7/08 R2 and earlier), it is one of the most efficient modes as far as relates to bandwidth usage.

OS vs display

The following is a compatibility matrix shows which display mode can be used on any operating system.

(*) When was the legacy graphics mode was activated from politics for a VDA, DCR may still be used as long to deliver

1 for compounds Aero. was DCR not disabled (through the policy as well)

2. The endpoint is DCR-capable.

3. The Aero theme has been applied in the meeting

(**) In addition to the requirement operating system, requires one of the following H.264 Receiver versions .:

Please note that we get the best performance recommend using the latest receiver versions.

We would also like you DeferredUpdateMode called to warn about a setting. This setting is default to support later for Windows Receiver 3.4 and to enable H.264. However, some customers still running Presentation Server 4.0 farms (Windows and Unix) and disabled DeferredUpdateMode an update to fix a problem. Please note, if you do this, you will not be able to use H.264 to your XenApp / XenDesktop 7.x farms.

If your environment OS and receiver requirements are met to provide one of the three display modes, ask yourself at some point will be how the delivery mode that you use to confirm effective! You can now Citrix Director, HDX Monitor or WMIC commands (to access information about WMI) to use for this. This will not only issue the delivery mode of the session, but also all the graphic configuration. We also published a support article to explain all this: How to determine HDX display mode

Citrix graphic guidelines vs display

You've probably noticed the large number of Citrix graphic guidelines which actually makes you wondering which are valid, are used for each delivery mode. Well, pulled a matrix for you will help you:

from the

We the closely Citrix TRMs (Technical Relationship Manager) work with our customers advise them and help them to get fixed their problems. A part of our role, explains our technologies to customers. Many customers do not appreciate getting that the server operating system upgrade, for example, by 2012 means an operating system with Microsoft is the way of the display is available and has changed as a result of behavior and the bandwidth can change.

In the following case studies, we will try and explain how we would a customer talk by displaying changes in XenDesktop 7.x introduced A typical real customers have legacy constraints themselves such as:

• limited bandwidth
• Some end-users with old thin clients
• Unmanaged end users forget their receivers
• old hardware
• management processes want to upgrade for example, that all servers have the same

We must also manage expectations of what an upgrade is configured so designed to achieve; if you are involved in such an update, always evaluate the existing means, both technically as Bandwidth used, delivered frame rate, but if the customer and end users are satisfied with the user experience

1 ^st use case. Migrating XenApp 5 x 64 for Windows 03 on XenDesktop / XenApp 7.x on Windows 08R2

Environment:

- Several thousand users in thousands of branches

- Low bandwidth (1 mbps) for up to 10 users per branch

- currently XA 5 03 x64 farm that works well and meets the end user

- web application, intranet, office applications and Business applications

from 7 to move to a new XD .x infrastructure with Hosted shared desktops on Windows 08 R2 noticed, the customer that ICA sessions are much more bandwidth compared to XenApp consume 5 sessions.

The object here is the customer to help find a graphics configuration that provides the same ease of use and bandwidth consumption than their XA infrastructure. There are two important facts that should not be neglected:

1. With XenDesktop 7.x with 08 R2 working with the default settings means that H.264 or H.264-compatibility mode, depending on the recipient is used version
2. change from Windows 03 Shared on Windows 08 R2 Hosted desktops implies a richer experience improvements introduced by Microsoft (display mode vs OS section above), taking into account the graphics. Richer experience means more bandwidth

Because customers relate to the same bandwidth consumption as in their XenApp to keep 5 Farm, we would advise them to legacy mode to be activated. This will give them 5 supply and some high compression legacy policies enable

the same user experience as in XenApp. Note: In this case, legacy mode was the best solution, since no complex graphics (was displayed animations, videos, etc ...) in the meetings. In some other cases would be much more efficient H.264 relates to a legacy mode until the bandwidth, but at the same time it is a much better user experience than deliver the legacy mode. However, you need to be aware that if you will not have the correct recipient Version your sessions again fall on H.264 compatibility mode consume a lot of bandwidth and should be avoided. If you read Amit blog articles, he published some bandwidth test results conducted supported with Login VSI and H.264 receiver.

Now we want to leave to our application.

The 1 ^st was point to changes XenApp version and thus the mode change setting. To reduce the bandwidth that uses the following configuration was:

Please note that this is only an example. A more aggressive configuration are implemented, the bandwidth consumption could more (at the expense of ease of use)

The 2 ^nd point was to reduce over changing operating systems. As mentioned earlier, Windows 08 R2 is much richer than Windows 03. A very striking example sketched window. Even if you window contents while dragging you hide will find that window outlines in Windows 08 are very different R2 on Windows 03 with the background mixes compare this outline (wallpaper, icons on the desktop, other Windows, etc ...) and it will consume excessive bandwidth when to move the windows.

For some customers, we would recommend a setting called MouseTimer reduce only the bandwidth. This parameter is basically a buffer on the client side and is set for a certain period send MouseTimer only mouse movements. In most cases we have the attitude MouseTimer to 0ms reduces bandwidth by half to find while Windows drag!

Another important note, we recommend "mouse shadows under mouse pointer" to disable in high latency environments.

2 ^nd application: Migrating from XenDesktop 5.6 with Windows XP and 7 on XenDesktop catalogs 7.x with Windows 7 catalogs

Migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 is pretty close to moving from Windows 03 to Windows 08 R2 (1 ^st application explained above). In addition, although XenDesktop 5.6 is a much more recent product as XenApp 5, it uses legacy graphics mode. Therefore XD XD 5.6 to 7.x easily migrating XA 5 to XD / XA 7.x could be compared and the recommendations that we showed in the 1 ^st use case are for this application is considered good.

the big difference of the migration path, however, would. The migration of XD 5.6 to 7.x is as easy as applying a Feature Pack. Customers sometimes do not realize that they move with implications for the CPU in a whole new range of display technologies, bandwidth etc ...

say let a customer has a set of Windows 7 delivered VDIs of XD 5.6 and intends to upgrade XD 7.x. In this case, he is trying DDCs and VDAS update 5.6 to 7.x and apply the same policy as in XD. If he has very limited bandwidth, he may face what could be an unwanted surprise. Depending on its endpoints it is (possibly in compatible mode) with H.264 or DCR, which will have a significant impact on bandwidth consumption compared to the legacy mode.

Of course, there are many customers who do a lot of free bandwidth and improved infrastructure and users are often amazed by the enhancements that can be seen with the richer graphical experience and higher frame rates, they can achieve ,

Takeaway

If you have a migration project to XA / XD 7.x:

1. you should do an inventory of your endpoints and determine which display mode by default in XD used 7.x (through the matrix control, we are provided)
2. should the customer's existing farm performance benchmark to their expectations as manage CPU, bandwidth and frame rates delivered, ie know what they are happy with today
3. If some of the display modes you do not use cases or infrastructure resources in terms of bandwidth and CPU fit to return Legacy mode *
4. If you have a want to go further and to reduce bandwidth in legacy mode, you can apply an aggressive configuration as we st in the 1 case use exposed. You can also do the trick MouseTimer mentioned above use (this parameter is a must in a very reduced bandwidth)
5. Do not forget "mouse shadow under cursor pointer" in high latency environments to disable

(*) Please note that legacy graphics mode is NOT our general recommendation. Legacy has been exposed a good fit above for the reasons mentioned above. In other cases, the probably most commonly, H.264 is a better choice will be. On the other hand only DCR is currently recommended in high-bandwidth environments.

Since Legacy mode is a server-wide policy, we have to establish a good practice early, when a customer is ready to silo users found on different servers with different shipping methods. http://bramwolfs.com/2012/05/08/adaptive-display-whats-in-the-game-and-do-we-need-to-fine-tune/ /blogs/2011/08/29/your-user-experience-over-wan-gets-even-better-introducing-adaptive-display-and-gdi-remoting/

Here is a bit of a (rhetorical) Quiz. If you have desktop virtualization across multiple sites providing - branch, mobile office - what would you hold one of the fundamental requirements make it a measurable success? The list could be quite exhaustive here but surely the ultimate end of the game - more than any other - would have Power ? The whole objective has to be focused on maintaining or, even better, to improve the desktop experience to mobile and branch workers. If it does not do something better, or at least keep it at-best "why bother? So far that seems

The problem is pretty clear that server and desktop virtualization needs increase, so that in turn the volume of user actually to applications and data remotely -. Either of offices or remotely via-to go with their mobile devices this can create real chaos with overall WAN performance, which too expensive -. and unnecessary -. bandwidth updates Why? Since upgrading simple network bandwidth increases cost and not really a diagnosis for all underlying performance problems give (think of congestion, distance, latency or application protocol behavior). Where modernization also falls short, it is an insight into the not have affected applications, still give priority, when it comes to mission-critical tasks. go go big or go home? Maybe it's just time to get wiser.

Think about it this way. An upgrade is really only the equivalent of applying the plaster on the cut or graze, so that we no longer see. It's not really something to treat. In this case, it causes only a further headache for the IT manager. Seriously, this is a team that is already overburdened with juggling several branching points and to respond by the management of cloud-based locally hosted applications in a consistent stream of new requirements, to ensure the delivery of desktops and applications over long distances. Phew! The reality is that for these tasks are in fact very few legacy optimization solutions WAN that they can perform. No wonder that by IDG Research, 67% of IT managers in companies currently a WAN optimization solution plan to upgrade their use within the next two years *.

This is where Citrix Cloud Bridge can help. Simply put, Cloudbridge can help connect applications and accelerate, optimize bandwidth usage, and the much-needed insight into application performance offer the user experience is just to make sure where it should be . Cloudbridge can help companies with the infinite capacity and elastic efficiency to increase their data center provided by public cloud providers available, also to simplify while without sacrificing service delivery branch networks.

The XenApp 6.5 to XenApp 7.6 Migration Tool consists of a series of simple PowerShell scripts

This Export Farm and policy data from XenApp 6.5 in XML files. These XML files are then imported via a script into an existing XenDesktop 7.6 site. The scripts are from the XenApp 7.6 product download page, you will be with an appropriate login ID to have access the product software page login: http://www.citrix.com/downloads/xenapp.html

to the scripts to use is simple and Citrix eDocs contains detailed instructions: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp-xendesktop-76/xad-xamigrate.html

After the export, you have the XML files, allowing you to do selective imports the -MatchFolder or -NotMatchFolder modifiers. For example, your XenApp 6.5 has a farm application folder named EMEA, which contains the following folders: Distribution, IT support and accounting. You can use the following command to import the applications in the fields of sales and accounting folder, but the IT support folder skip:

  Import XAFarm -XmlInputFile myFarmFile.xml   -MatchFolder "Applications / EMEA" -NotMatchFolder "Applications / EMEA / IT Support"  

In addition, you can instead only the sales and accounting folder for import, give all other with the following command skip:

  import XAFarm -XmlInputFile myFarmFile.xml   -MatchFolder "Applications / EMEA / (Sales | Accounting)"  

Finally, one might use -NotMatchFolder modifier alone everything, but to import the IT support folder:

  import XAFarm -XmlInputFile myFarmFile.xml   -NotMatchFolder "Applications / EMEA / IT Support " 

Do not forget that you can practice these modifiers by adding -Preview until the end of the command. In this way, you can see the results of the import script to see without actually importing objects into your website.

There is no better way to learn the new technology than to see

safely. I have written and seen many blogs / tweets about how great the new memory-tuning feature for XenApp and XenDesktop. I read how this function can reduce IOPS 7 average of 15 IOPS per user Windows 0.1 IOPS. I read how to create this feature functions through a small RAM buffer within each VM. I Tweets show crazy seen IOPS numbers Standard for use of rotating disks.

In fact, I have done some of this analysis and was completely blown away by the results.

But who cares? Who cares if my IOPS be reduced by 99%?

Unfortunately, unless you are responsible for the storage, you probably will not care. But what if this drastic reduction in IOPS had a direct impact on the user experience? And from someone who VDI far used 100% of the time, the user experience is what really what interests me.

Let's see what the new RAM cache with a feature disk overflow can do for the user experience ...

What impresses me the most is that the workload did not use a some crazy operation that a typical user would not really. You can easily see the improvement of the user experience with something as simple as browsing a few websites.
And all this is done

 Without complex configurations

 Without expensive SANs

 Without SSDs

 Without additional hardware

 Without additional licenses

 Without a learning curve

update: Only one ESG Released -Report validate the cost savings of RAM cache to disk overflow

Good news! Additional support is included in our latest release.

I am pleased to inform you that in our latest release, we bring Windows 2012/2012 R2, CentOS 6.2 (32-bit) / (64-bit), CentOS 6.5 (32-bit) and RHEL 6.5 / 6.4 (32bit) to support version. Even better, we've added new features that I think will make life easier, and that with much joy.

Command Center expands AAA support to help you better manage CommandCenter appliances. You can now configure user "Views" under a monitoring dashboard approve. Life is much easier for administrators want to extract groups for RADIUS implementations, better to give AAA support.

And most importantly, you will now be able CommandCenter appliance to monitor performance including memory, CPU, hard disk and other statistics of the management section.

Key Features & Details of this press release.

Support for groups extraction via RADIUS

groups extraction makes life easier for administrators by the user will be dynamically added within a group for approval. It allows you as an administrator, the existing groups of AAA server select and authorizes defined within this AAA server group users. This is done without manually to add users to the group.

This group extraction support has now been extended from Active Directory and OpenLDAP RADIUS. Enjoy the ease in management!

Authorize Views Dashboard monitoring

Each user can see access to Command Center modules to make them authorized along with the specific configuration they create on Command Center as custom task, reports, views, etc. . the implementation help segment really views. But it is not the same data-providing many administrators as you accessed? Why should their "views" create any admin similar to what you created? Well, the answer is, now you do not need.

Now create view and share them with each administrator you want!

Command Center Appliance Performance Monitoring

If you have a centralized management hardware providing many key equipment tracking, you would want to keep a good look at this device. To make this possible, we bring all the important aspects of surveillance CommandCenter appliance in advance on the dashboard give you supply of HA pair live together with notifications to how and when the following thresholds are met.

• memory usage more than 0%
• CPU utilization of 100%
• Page Fault more than 1
• disk usage by more than 0%
• status interface going down
[1945013blank] HA state

throw bring me some light on importance of upfront page error.

an interruption occurs when a program requests data that is not currently in real memory. This interrupt triggers the operating system, the data from the virtual memory and upload it to bring it into memory. An invalid page fault or page fault error occurs when the operating system can not find the data in the virtual memory. This can happen sometimes when the virtual memory area or table, the virtual addresses mapping to real addresses, is damaged

Here is the list of new features in CC 5.2 Build 42.7 .:

• support for groups extraction via RADIUS
• authorization of views Dashboard monitoring
• Command Center appliance performance monitoring
• ability CommandCenter SNMP community string
to change
• New integrated task for Cloudbridge Devices

Background

Add Customizations allow Citrix customers web pages reflect company logos, color schemes, marketing styles and even in some cases security banner. However, adjustments require in-depth knowledge of the structure and coding behind every site.

require some customers that all levels of authentication (all login pages) display Safety Banner, the contour, the rights to privacy (or lack thereof) in accessing their sites. In this case, a simple change to the web page's code performs the addition of text - a security banner - near the authentication fields every time a user

Some adjustments heavily documented visible on the side. - Check-out blogs like this by Feng Huang - but the addition of a security banner or text floating, was not explicitly discussed

This article contains information about modifying the login page of Storefront, Director. and Citrix License Server web pages. Note that it can be made a fundamental Banner configuration and changes the specific size, font and color to suit individual requirements.

After working with the members of the CCS team who implemented in various adaptations of the past, we have consolidated our results in a single point of reference. I want to give a special thank you to Wonmin Lee, William Elvington, Steven Krueger, Dan Morgan, Felipe Bernal and Kelsey Kempler for their help in writing this blog.
