Citrix Receiver for HTML5 is now available, with which our users can connect through a browser to the applications or desktops of our Citrix XenApp or Citrix XenDesktop infrastructure, without the need to have a Citrix client installed.
Today we see the first Citrix application designed exclusively for mobile devices, In the GoldenGate Project, they have developed an email client with the look of an app that will run securely and centrally on our XenApp servers and be displayed on Android, iPhone, iPad, tablets or any mobile device. This email client connects to the autodiscover service of our Exchange organization, authenticates the user and shows their email, their contacts and calendar. All of this with the idea of bringing Citrix closer to users 🙂
Citrix XenApp's advanced power and capacity management enables significant savings in power consumption and improved load capacity of our XenApp servers. This will ensure that our XenApps can be turned off when they are not needed and turned on automatically when they are needed, thus getting more load on fewer servers. This feature is available for Enterprise editions & Platinum de Presentation Server 4.5 (with or without Feature Pack 1) Rollup Pack 3, XenApp 5 o XenApp 6.
If we need to migrate a Citrix Metaframe/XenApp environment to XenApp 6 we can follow the following document: HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=4022. But sometimes we have the need to not bring all the configuration and only bring the applications, or the policies…
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…
Installation Manager for Citrix XenApp is the Citrix product that will help us distribute applications in a fully automated way on our XenApp servers 5 o XenApp 6, yes indeed, we will need to have the Enterprise or Platinum license to be able to use it! Apart from installing applications remotely (MSI or MST files), we can also apply Citrix patches/hotfixes, Windows service pack, run task scheduler XML files or directly any command-line executable. We will need to install Installation Manager Utilities on the target servers (XenApp), Installation Manager administration where we want to manage through MMC and a file server where we will leave the packages to be installed in a shared folder. Management will be via an MMC or PowerShell console.
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.
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 a Citrix utility that will help us check the correct functioning of load balancing in our Citrix XenApp communities 6. It is a tool that will simulate the process of loading a specific application with a specific user/group (even indicating a computer name and/or IP address). We will be able to obtain load information from XenApp servers, Load Balancing Policies, Working Group Information (new), Order of preferences…
If we want to add a server to an existing XenApp farm 6 in order to distribute the load among the servers or in some other way; simply, we will have to install the XenApp function and join an existing community. This can be done through a GUI with the XenApp server configuration wizard or via the command line.
