Installing Citrix Metaframe XP SP3

Este procedimiento explica cómo se instala y configura Citrix Metaframe. Para el que no conozca este programa decirle que es como Terminal Services pero más orientado a usuarios finales, en vez de acceder directamente al escritorio de un servidor de Terminal se acceden a las aplicaciones publicadas que des permisos a los usuarios del Directorio Activo, estas aplicaciones se instalan en el servidor y los usuarios las ejecutan desde sus puestos, cayendo todo el rendimiento sobre el propio servidor, es mucho más seguro que Terminal Server y el usuario final no se da ni cuenta que esta trabajando directamente en el servidor.

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

En este documento veremos cómo se usa Citrix Stress Printers para testear un entorno Citrix con múltiples impresoras. Usaremos una herramienta de Citrix llamada Stress Printers, con esta utilidad podremos simular la carga que sufre un servidor cuando crea las impresoras en el logon de los usuarios. Podremos configurar cuantas impresoras queremos que nos cree (simulando un logon de un usuario), el tiempo que queremos que espere para borrarlas (simulando un logoff de un usuario) y cuantas veces queremos que repita este proceso. Este es un proceso que se debe realizar en los servidores Citrix Presentation Server o 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.
