A XenCenter user to briefly view the desktop. Workaround Disable the VM’s local VGA console xe vm-param-set uuid=vm-uuid platform:vgpu_extra_args="disable_vnc=1" Status Open Ref. # NVIDIA-145/1375164 6.29. VM bugchecks on shutdown/restart when XenDesktop is installed and NVIDIA driver is uninstalled or upgraded. Description If the XenDesktop agent is installed in a VM before any NVIDIA GPU driver is installed, the VM will bugcheck (bluescreen) when the NVIDIA driver is subsequently upgraded or uninstalled. The bugcheck code is 0x7E, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Workaround Use one of the following workarounds: Do a force shutdown of the VM and restart it. Install the NVIDIA driver in guest VMs before installing XenDesktop. Status Open Ref. # NVIDIA-295/200018125 6.30. Application frame rate may drop when running XenDesktop at 2560×1600 resolution. Description An application’s rendering frame rate may drop when running XenDesktop at 2560×1600 resolution, relative to the frame rate obtained at lower resolutions. Fix Using the Windows regedit utility within the VM, open the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Graphics registry key and create a new DWORD value, EncodeSpeed, with a value of 2. Reboot the VM. This setting may improve the delivered frame rate at the expense of a reduction in image quality. Status Open Ref. # NVIDIA-190/1416336 6.31.

Citrix Certified Administrator For Citrix Xendesktop 4

Last week Citrix released their latest XenApp / XenDesktop 7.12 version, what includes many new features, with one in particular, the (re)introduction of the Local Host Cache functionality. The feature to keep your Citrix FMA environment available for new and existing sessions in case of a central site database outage, or even when all the Citrix databases are unavailable. For this particular operation advantage, you won’t need to have a SQL AlwaysOn cluster or mirroring setup anymore, but Citrix’s best practice will always stay to keep using these Microsoft SQL features for the larger – enterprise environments to keep all your Citrix databases high available and to continue all the processes.In the last year, Citrix released more versions that they did ever before, what proves that Citrix listens to their customers and is evolving more and more to stay the best in desktop end-user experience. This new feature, including the Windows Server 2016 day one support from previous version 7.11, and all the other new 7.12 features makes me curious enough to dive into the XenApp installation process again, what resulted in this blog article.In the first part I will highlight all the new, most important, Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.12 features, afterwards I will tell in a step-by-step installation guide, how you install and configure a Citrix XenApp 7.12 Desktop Delivery server, the configuration of a Windows Server 2016 master server based on the MCS imaging strategy, the StoreFront configuration part, the setup of a HDX Citrix Policy and as final,

Over the last several years I’ve written a number of PowerShell scripts, ranging in complexity from one-liners to very complex multi-function modular packages for distribution (See the Citrix Chained Reboot Scripts for XenApp and XenDesktop for an example of one of my more complex scripts). As I’ve discovered, scripting in PowerShell is an adaptive process, easily allowing you to take bits and pieces from a previous script to feed into the next. Well, that’s just what I’ve done with this SCVMM/Hyper-V script to create Full VM Clones for Citrix XenDesktop or Microsoft VDI. See below for a demo of the finished product:In many cases, you may not want to use chained base image / linked cloning technologies. For example, if you’re planning to provide disaster recovery capabilities for your users full thick clones, this becomes increasingly difficult (or impossible) when you’re talking about linking differencing disks back to a master or base disk. This is also one of the challenges with the RingCube acquisition (Personal vDisk) and can become a barrier to adoption. Another scenario is when you’re using specific vendor’s storage optimization, like Atlantis ILIO or Nutanix and deduplication occurs either in-line or as a back-end process. In these scenarios, it makes more sense to have full clone persistent desktops for the operational simplicity. Unfortunately both Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft VDI lack the ability to create full clones for persistent, both of which employ a vhdx chaining mechanism for Hyper-V.Without further introduction, let’s actually dive into how to create

The activation of the newest Local Host Cache feature!Some of the new features areThe (re)introduction of the Local Host Cache technology. What keeps your Citrix environment response for existing and new sessions when the Central database is unavailable (or even all the Citrix database) are unavailable, like mentioned above, for this particular advantage, you won’t need to have a SQL AlwaysOn cluster or mirroring setup anymore, but for larger-enterprises Citrix’s best practices will always stay to keep to configure one of these 2 functions. The LHC feature creates a local database on the Delivery Controller(s) and uses a Microsoft SQL Server Express (LocalDB) database to store the information, and will update this local database over the new Sync/High Availability service, these services are installed on the Delivery Controllers when updating/installing your Citrix environment to 7.12. The Broker service will detect if there there is no connection possible between the Delivery Controller and the Central Site Database, and will tell the High Availability Service to listen to the LocalDB (LHC). Also mentioned above, LHC for FMA is called a re-implementation by different websites, because it already existed in the Citrix IMA Architecture (XenApp 6.5), but the feature is not exactly the same as LHC for FMA. Citrix completely re-build/re-designed the feature for FMA, and also added the support for XenDesktop – static VDI – sessions, what IMA doesn’t have! So what are you waiting for? If you are still on XenApp 6.5 because of this FMA feature limitation, now it is.
