If you have tried to use Windows 10 in XenDesktop with Citrix Profile Management you have probably run into two major issues. The Issues The first issue is the start menu… which is now a database located at %localappdata%\TileDataLayer\Database. At logoff when profile manager tries to copy it off it can’t due to services locking the […]
Thank you Microsoft for changing fundamental things about your operating system, with little or no regard to those of us running in an RDS/XenApp type environment. Check out this technet article. In this article it states how changes have been made. “In Pre-Win 8, apps could set the default handler for a file type/protocol by […]
Have you ever looked at director and saw a user had a very long login, and wondered how the hell you could find out who that was? I wrote a script to help you out a bit! Here is the script Read it! There are places you will have to edit to allow it to run […]
Have you ever excluded a directory after the fact, and realized that Citrix Profile Manager does not remove the directory from the store? Have you noticed “AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore” or “AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent” filling up with tons of small files/empty folders – most of which are old as dirt (delaying logon)? Have you pulled out your hair over […]
As a Citrix CSP, having a good set of scripts to deploy a base environment is critical. Setting up 50 environments by hand would take far more time than with good scripting. Now that I’ve finally had some time to sit down and not be working on 6.5 stuff, I have been able to write […]
Sacha Thomet who was one of my competitors for the “Geekovation” contest at Synergy (he won!) wrote a PVS documentation script (http://blog.appcloud.ch/citrix-pvs-healthcheck/). He tweeted a revision, and after looking at the code I decided to try my hand at it. I have to give credit to Remko Weijnen (http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2012/02/29/convert-mcli-output-into-powershell-objects/) for the code to change the […]
Another Netscaler – Powershell script leveraging Nitro! This script will create a Cipher Group with all the right Cipher Suites (depending on VPX\MPX), or let you select one you have already created, and assign it to any ssl vserver. NOTE: Very important!! If you do this to a XD/XA gateway – all users connected through […]
This post will be short and sweet. I just wanted to post my first attempt at Powershell scripting against Netscaler. Click here Read the comments! This script will connect to your netscaler (I have it do it on a gui enabled snip instead of the nsip, but you can do it against the nsip… again […]
Just a quick script to grab XenDesktop 7.x licensing info… would probably work on XA 7.x as well. As the script is written it has to be run on the licensing server itself, but you could easily rewrite it with an “Invoke-Command” to allow it to run remotely. You could also modify it to email […]
EDIT: People have been requesting a tool to deploy SMS2 secret keys en mass, and the developer hasn’t implemented it yet. Until he does I wrote a powershell script that will remotely connect to the sql database and inject the information needed for each user you select (http://pastebin.com/NBJHJPsX). I have it setup for TOTP keys… […]
