New Teams on Citrix

I wanted to publish a post that I have been asked to do at some time, or it is usually necessary if you have a Citrix environment and use Teams. Since Microsoft published the New Teams there was some change to take into account when publishing Teams in Citrix if we want the render to be on the client and not on the VDAs.

Managing OS Layers, platform, apps and user with Citrix App Layering

Citrix App Layering is a new solution from Citrix for designing our OS layers., Software or User Data. In January 2017 Citrix acquired Unidesk, in order to have a tool that allows us to reduce the number of images to be kept, both in desktop pool environments and RDHS servers. We will arrange the OS in separate layers, the tools and drivers that are needed, as well as isolating each app in different layers; which we can then associate and deliver as we see fit, either per user or per VDA machine. We will be able to have a single layer of our corporate Windows, that when we need to update we will do it only once, and we will display it to the rest of the images.

Nagstamon

One of the great utilities that we usually have installed to control our environment in real time is Nagstamon, This app installed at our kiosks, it will notify us when any monitoring item generates an alert. Integrates seamlessly into the Windows taskbar or anywhere in the workstation, also on computers with MacOS or Linux! We can use it to bypass email alerts if we are interested!
