In this document we will see how to migrate the Citrix XenDesktop DB 5 to another database server, sometimes it is necessary since we may start our implementation or pilot of XenDesktop with the database in the broker itself (on-premises with SQL Express) and we want to take it to the corresponding DB server,
If we want to have another connection broker in our Citrix XenDesktop infrastructure 5 we can follow these brief steps after installing a second XenDesktop Controller, With this we will be able to balance the load of the main controller and have high availability. even so, we must take into account that a single controller can manage up to 15000 Desks.
This article that I had pending publication was the new version of Citrix's XenDesktop where you will see the installation and configuration, this is Citrix's quintessential desktop virtualization infrastructure. What's new in this version: New look, Role-based installation (just like Citrix Xenapp 6), IMA disappears, Active Directory Configuration Wizard disappears, New Management Consoles (Desktop Studio and Desktop Director), Dazzle (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=4157), enabling XenClient for connections and desktop synchronization… With this we will be able to provide our users with virtual desktops, in order to have a thin client environment on our network. With the Citrix controller we can manage the connections to the desktops that interest us (Supports up to 15000 MV cada controller), we will be able to connect to virtual machines based on Citrix XenServer, VMware vSphere or physical directly. Podremos unir diferentes tecnologías para la creación automática de escritorios como Citrix Provisioning Server o VMware […]
At last! In this document we will be able to see how to install the Web Interface server 5.3 on a Java server, in this case we will use a new Debian Lenny distribution to which we will install Apache2 and Tomcat6 to be able to run the Citrix Web Interface server, we can therefore save a Windows server with the cost that licensing will entail., Resources… thanks to my great friend Manel who has given me the clues to set it up!!! Started…
One of the new features brought by XenApp 5 Feature Pack 2/XenApp 6 and XenDesktop 4 is the use of VM Hosted Apps. In this document we will see how we can set up VM Hosted Apps in our organization, is an integration between XenDesktop and XenApp, it will be used to run applications that are not compatible with Terminal Server or server operating systems or simply if we want to isolate them on computers with OS. Windows XP, View or 7. In a virtual desktop that we have with XenDesktop, we will install this application and create a group of desktops in XenDesktop where we will indicate that they are VM hosted apps (or hosted application VM). We will integrate both environments through Web Interface and it will be totally transparent for users.
Si queremos usar Citrix XenDesktop con un entorno virtual de VMware vSphere tendremos que realizar unas configuraciones extra, todo ello es para poder conectarnos desde el XenDesktop Delivery Controller a los escritorios virtuales de nuestro entorno vSphere y por lo tanto gestionado por la plataforma de virtualización de VMware, pudiendo usar VMware View Composer si nos interesase.
This document shows the installation and configuration of all Citrix XenDesktop components 4.0, which is Citrix's quintessential desktop virtualization infrastructure. With this we will be able to provide our users with desktops directly, to have a thin client environment on our network. With the Citrix controller we can manage the connections to the desktops that interest us, we will be able to connect to virtual machines based on Citrix XenServer or VMware vSphere or VMware Infrastructure 3 or physical directly. Podremos unir diferentes tecnologías para la creación automática de escritorios como Citrix Provisioning Server o VMware Composer. Later we will see different ways to install the agent that will be the necessary software in the virtual desktops and the client for their final connection.
Citrix presented this month at the Citrix Synergy™ fair a new utility in order to facilitate the day-to-day life and use of Citrix for our users, called Citrix Dazzle. It's a new manager or self-service for applications, and makes it easier for users (No training) Using Citrix Apps (according to them as 'simple as turning on a TV'). It is distributed together with Citrix Receiver in plugin mode and is valid for both XenApp and XenDesktop, this may make us think that the Citrix Web Interface has a news program left. The only downside (For now), that does not have multi-languages.
Well, We finally have a new version of salvation for those of us who work with roaming profile environments, the great Citrix Profile Management product 3.0 that will help us manage our roaming profiles using Active Directory policies. The Profile Management agent must be installed on the XenApp servers and these GPOs must be configured with the parameters that interest us, we can even migrate from a traditional configuration of mobile profiles with CPM.
Today we see one of the latest Citrix novelties, your Merchandising Server product together with your Receiver client. The Citrix Merchandising Server product offers us a perfect distribution of any type of customer (or plug-in) to our network teams, apart from always keeping them updated as it continuously checks for new developments! We can create a series of rules to distribute the plugin that interests us to whoever and how we are interested. Of course,, to distribute the plugins, we will need Citrix Receiver in the installed stations, being able to make a remote and silent installation in any way (with Microsoft GPO's…), once you have Citrix Receiver, it will know if you should install a plugin or not, Fully transparent to the user! Of course, it is free for those who have a Citrix environment since it does not require a license, And if we give it some thought we can see that we can distribute other types of software […]
