Using ThinStation to Reuse Computers as a Thin Client

I've been working with this kind of wonder for a long time, It is an ideal for companies, Incredible savings of all kinds, The use of thin client philosophy in an organization. In this document we will see a free project that allows us to use any computer and convert it into a light computer or thinclient. There are other Linux distributions that are also based on this philosophy, And this seems to me to be the best, since it has a lot of packages that we can add to the posts and people who contribute.

Free and interesting utilities for Citrix environments

In this document we see a series of quite interesting utilities, especially for Citrix environments, although there are some for Microsoft or VMware environments, They are all taken from the http website://ctxadmtools.musumeci.com.ar, We can download all of them in the pack called: CtxAdmTools. With them we will be able to list, export, Import and make bulk modifications in our Citrix communities, it is always quite interesting to be able to export something in case the DB gets corrupted, ¿No?

Installation, Citrix XenDesktop Server Configuration and Management 2.0

It is the new version of Citrix Desktop Server 1.0 – HERE, is Citrix's service for publishing desktops, instead of publishing applications we will use it to publish desktops, ideal for creating a virtual desktop or VDI infrastructure (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure). It also integrates seamlessly with Citrix Provisioning Server – HERE, it would be ideal to publish bulk desktops from XenDesktop using a Provisioning Server and storing the virtual machines on a XenServer – HERE, The perfect family.

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.

Hide Local Drives on Citrix Servers

This procedure explains how to hide the local drives of a Citrix server so that users when working against published applications cannot store anything on the server's disks. It is simply a matter of editing a policy template that we will then apply through a policy to the users we are interested in not seeing the server units. This policy can NOT be applied only to the server, rather, it is a user policy, so it must be applied to a user OU. Typically, the Citrix server has letters assigned to it other than C and D, the normal thing would be M, N… and so on respectively, then, We will run into a problem when applying the policy because our disk drives do not come. This document explains how to customize this policy with our disk drives

Fix Citrix Default Printers Problem

Sometimes, Citrix modifies users' default printer, They may have a printer set as the default and certain users may change it to the default printer on the servers. Previous steps: Logically, we have had to configure the Citrix policies in which it is indicated that the default printer is the client and not the server. Have the client printer drivers installed on the Citrix server in case the drivers provided by the user are not compatible. We have to take into account that the user with the problem must be logged into a Citrix server, we will log in to that Citrix server as an Administrator and we will perform the following tasks:

Citrix Desktop Server Installation and Configuration 1.0

This document shows how we can use this Citrix server, which unlike the Presentation Server that publishes applications, With this we publish equipment. We're supposed to have a pool of teams, Usually virtual (View VMware – HERE) and to which we will connect through the Citrix client to them. The example that we will make in this document, we have a department in our organization called Development, where we have multiple users who use ThinClients and will access these computers as if they were their own, All teams in this department have the same applications and configurations.
