I plagiarized David Ott’s script for migration of Citrix Profile Manager (UPM) profiles to FSLogix and created it for Local Profiles. NOTE: This only works between like profile versions. eg. You can’t migrate your 2008R2 profiles to Server 2016 and expect it to work. See this chart. This requires using frx.exe, which means that FSLogix […]
In my environment I have nearly 100 persistent MCS VDAs. Our developers, contractors, and even us IT people need the ability to change things on our VDI desktops (install/uninstall/set registry/create local IIS sites/etc.) and have them persist reboots. Luckily, the only software I have to maintain on these desktops is the VDA itself. That still […]
NOTE: This only works between like profile versions. eg. You can’t migrate your 2008R2 profiles to Server 2016 and expect it to work. See this chart. I moved from UPM to FSLogix earlier this year, and decided to write my own powershell script to convert the UPM profiles to .vhd. FSLogix has its own conversion […]
Tick tock, tick tock. June 30th, 2018 is fast approaching and will be here before we know it. If you are anything like me, you still have plenty of old 2008R2 XenApp 6.5 farms lying around. I’m sure you have seen all the articles like this, this, this, and this. These are great resources on […]
Welcome and congratulations to the Citrix Technology Advocate (CitrixCTA) class of 2017! A great bunch of guys here and I’m privilideged to be part of such a great community. A huge thanks to Stephanie Roper @roperjs for putting everything together! Read about it here.
(See the new tool Here) I recently switched from Citrix Profile Management to FSLogix! For those of you who do not know how it works… it mounts a virtual hard drive at the C:\Users\%UserName% folder for each user who connects. A huge advantage to this is that it is not copying the profile in at logon […]
Clonepost from my blog. There are some good guides out there (such as Carl Stalhood’s) that cover the details of setting up Citrix App Layering, but currently don’t have a birds eye overview of what an App Layering implementation requires. After going through many of these hurdles myself, I considered that a “light on the […]
I have been using Full Desktop’s inside of XenApp forever. Lately I have been working on a project where I will be using only published apps. We are a CSP and a managed service provider who uses LabTech (Now ConnectWise Automate) to control all of our systems. LabTech uses a great remote access product called […]
Original Post The first script I wrote was from before Citrix added real powershell functionality into PVS. This new script leverages the new powershell module. I am not exactly sure when they first added this into PVS (if you know please comment below), but this was developed using PVS 7.12. Pay attention to comments marked […]
Problem: In my environment I have about 300 provisioned desktops, and when I update the vDisk sometimes it can take a while (days) before all of the VMs get the latest version. Especially, in the case of a roll back I need a good way to get all of the VMs which are on the […]
