Installing Citrix Metaframe XP SP3

This procedure explains how to install and configure Citrix Metaframe. For those who are not familiar with this program, it can be said that it is like Terminal Services but more focused on end users, Instead of accessing the desktop of a Terminal server directly, users access the published applications that you grant permissions to in Active Directory, These applications are installed on the server and users run them from their workstations, All the performance load falls on the server itself, It is much more secure than Terminal Server, and the end user does not even realize they are working directly on the server.

Citrix Client Installation and Configuration 10.0

This procedure explains how to install and configure the current Citrix client, version 10. The procedure explains how to set up two 'clients'’ from Citrix, the “Program Neighborhood” and the “Program Neighborhood Agent”. – Installing the Citrix Client for Windows XP – HERE – Citrix Client Configuration “Program Neighborhood Agent” – HERE – Citrix Client Configuration “Program Neighborhood” – HERE

Citrix WI and PNA Balancing with NLB: Configuring Web Interface and Program Neighborhood Agent Groups for Balancing with Network Load Balancing

This document is quite useful if what we have is several servers with the Web Interface service or with the Program Neighborhood Agent and what we want is to balance between them, that is, if one of the servers goes down or we turn it off, we don't have to do anything on the users' PCs so that they continue to work normally. To do this, it will be necessary to configure it on servers that have W.I.. a cluster with NLB, I mean, create an IP address “virtual” to which clients will connect and this IP address “virtual” connect to hosts that are lifted, to one server or another; both for W.I. How to stop PNA.

Additional Configurations on a Presentation Server or XenApp

This procedure explains a variety of topics, I put them all in the same document, but they would be the following topics: ICA Protocol Configurations – AKI Connect to a User Session – AKI Create additional Citrix administrators – AKI Server/Application Performance Improvement and Connectivity – AKI Isolation Environments for Applications (IEA – Aplication Isolation Enviroments) – AKI Print Themes: Printers and drivers – AKI Zones – AKI Ensure connectivity by enabling Citrix SSL handover and raising the level of encryption – HERE

Using Citrix User Profile Manager – Citrix UPM

Citrix User Profile Manager is a new Citrix product that we hope will help us take some of the headaches away. It is well known that in Citrix environments one of the biggest problems is the management of mobile profiles, With this new app we hope to make everything a little easier. So let's not wait any longer and download the application, which is free from the Citrix website in MyCitrix: HERE. It is a utility that integrates with Active Directory, since what it generates in itself is a template that we must import into a policy to later configure it and apply it to users.

Using Citrix Stress Printers

In this document we will see how to use Citrix Stress Printers to test a Citrix environment with multiple printers. We will use a Citrix tool called Stress Printers, with this utility we will be able to simulate the load that a server experiences when creating printers on user logon. We will be able to configure how many printers we want it to create for us (simulating a user logon), the time we want it to wait before deleting them (simulating a user logoff) and how many times we want it to repeat this process. This is a process that should be carried out on Citrix Presentation Server or Citrix XenApp.

How to clone a Citrix Presentation Server or XenApp server

This procedure explains in detail how to clone a Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 or Citrix Presentation Server 4.5. The idea is if we already have a server in the farm installed and with the applications installed, to avoid this, having to reinstall them all and Citrix PS back on it. It will depend on whether the DB is Access or SQL, but to do so we would modify the script that we will discuss below, It works for both databases. Let's start with the explanation.
