It may happen that when you connecting to a published desktop, you see a black screen for a few seconds. Most causes of this delay can be traced back to the login process like logon scripts, drive mappings, folder redirections and GPO’s. To prevent this, replace the Citrix logon dialog with the standard Windows logon dialog.
A few days ago I ran into the problem that when I changing a Citrix XenApp vDisk (or created a new one) the Citrix XenApp servers crashes within the same VLAN with a BSOD with error message “A duplicate IP address was assigned to this machine while attempting to boot from the network” (see screenshot below). Striking is that the Citrix XenApp servers within another VLAN, booted from the same vDisk, do not have this problem.
NOTE: An up-to-date blog with NetScaler 10.5 and Storefront 2.5.2 can be found here! In this blog I will describe step-by-step how to configure the Citrix NetScaler Access Gateway VPX with Citrix StoreFront. Including uploading the VPX to the XenServer, configuring the NetScaler, creating and installing the SSL certificate, creating the Access Gateway and the configuration of it, the redirection to the Citrix StoreFront server and finally the configuration of Citrix StoreFront server itself. Before you begin make sure you have Java Runtime installed and that you have a license file for the NetScaler. The Citrix NetScaler Access Gateway needs a SSL certificate, make sure you can create a key by a CA. For this blog I will use and describe the step for creating the key by Go Daddy.
The Citrix Webinterface server is end of life and will be replaced by the Citrix StoreFront server. Citrix StoreFront is more dynamic then the Citrix Webinterface server. One of the great new features is that administrators and users now control which applications are shown by default and in which order. This guide describes the step-by-step installation of the Citrix StoreFront server including a multiple server group deployment, the SQL database configuration, IIS settings for HTTP redirection, the step-by-step installation and configuration of the Citrix HTML5 HDX Engine and some Citrix XenApp application publishing features/tips.
This step-by-step blog describes the installation of the Citrix XenApp 6.5 installation including the database setup, the configuration of the licensing server and XenApp Farm. Before starting the installation you have to do some preparations. First of all you have to setup a Citrix Licensing server as described here. For this installation I will use my current Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 which is installed on a separate server.
In this step-by-step installation guide I will install the Citrix Provisioning Services 6.1.16. I will use hotfix CPVS61016 as source for this installation because this hotfix actually contains the full installation. The source for this hotfix can be downloaded here. Windows Server 2012 is not officially supported for this installation, so the installation takes place on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. For this installation I will use my current DHCP server and Microsoft SQL 2008 server which are installed on a separate server.
Almost every product from Citrix needs the Citrix Licensing Server. It is therefore a good start to first install the Licensing Server before you starts installing another Citrix product. Unfortunately the latest version still supports no Windows Server 2012, but it contains the valuable new feature “Microsoft Active Directory support for Windows license servers”. This means that if you’re in a domain you can add users or groups to the License Administrator Console of the Licensing Server and delegate admin rights.
