![]() The other reason why I was so keen to check upgrade path from XenApp 6.5 to XenApp 7.6 was the presentation of VMware Horizon 6 few months ago. One of them is Connection Leasing about which you can read more here. Right now Citrix is working to get some of the old IMA features back to FMA. one global XenApp farm, zones and probably on the the biggest lacks: Local Host Cache. But with replace of IMA we lost few things that were very useful: e.g. The reason for change was explained my times on many different blogs so there is only one thing I want to underline: according to Citrix FMA is much more prepared for “cloudization” of Citrix services than IMA is/was. From version 7.x both XenApp and XenDesktop work on FMA (FlexCast Management Architecture). As you know XenApp 6.5 is the last edition of XenApp built upon IMA architecture (Independent Management Architecture). The are numerous reasons why I was interested particularly in upgrade path for XenApp 6.5. I was looking forward to write this post. In the fourth part – we will upgrade XenApp 6.5 server to XenApp 7.6. In the first part – we installed first Delivery Controller and setup our new XenDesktop 7.6 site. In the previous parts we did the following: That is the next part of First Look series regarding new version of XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6. Continue reading →Ĭategories: Citrix | Tags: automation, Citrix, Citrix Studio, Citrix XenApp, Citrix XenDesktop, Powershell, scripting, SDK, Windows PowerShell, XenApp 7.6, XenDesktop 7.6 |. To use SDK you need to just launch PowerShell console or PowerShell ISE if you would like to have PowerShell editor where you can write you scripts on your server with installed Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6. Good to see then that XenApp/XenDesktop provide an SDK based on a number of Microsoft Windows PowerShell version 3.0 snap-ins that allows you to perform the same tasks as you would with the Citrix Studio console, together with tasks you cannot do with Studio alone. In the ninth part – I would like to show you how you can use PowerShell in XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6.Īs you I hope already know PowerShell became the industry standard when it comes to the management framework, at least in Windows world □ And well Citrix is part of that world of course. In the eighth part – we checked how Connection Leasing really works. In the seventh part – we have configured StoreFront so that end users could launch their apps. In the sixth part – we have delivered applications to the end users by creating delivery groups. We attached to the site as well upgraded XenApp 6.5 server. In the fifth part – we have created machine catalogs and used previously prepared master image. In the fourth part – we have upgraded XenApp 6.5 server to XenApp 7.6. In the third part – we prepared the template image of Windows Server 2012 R2 that will be used by MCS service for creation of new machines that will be hosting user desktops and applications. In the second part – we have configured first site. ![]() In the first part – we have installed first Delivery Controller and setup our new XenDesktop 7.6 site. Today I would like to focus on PowerShell in Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6. I made a long break since last post but luckily I found time to finish the series. Welcome in the last part of the First Look series on XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6. And this caused a pop up of Receiver window. Still Receiver was trying to check that and every 5 minutes was trying to refresh application list for user. It occurred that there were some orphaned entries in Citrix Receiver registry pointing to the Citrix resources that were not available anymore on my Citrix XenApp farm. After few attempts I finally found the root cause of Citrix Receiver pop up. I did check on Citrix forums and it occurred that this problem was happening in many different companies and there was no universal fix to that problem. But it of course didn’t work even though I used Receiver Clean-up Utility. The first quick solution I thought about was to reinstall the plugin on user PC. Recently I was reported problem with Citrix Receiver window pops up randomly like every 5 minutes. This is why it is important to keep it running all the time without testing limits of user patience. It has to be installed on the device from which user would like to launch Citrix resources. Citrix Receiver is important part of every XenApp or XenDesktop architecture.
