In 7.6, it’s not possible to add a single machine to multiple Delivery Groups. You could create a policy in xa/xd 7.6 to move a vm out of lb automatically when its cpu is reached to the value you set. Once the cpu limit is back to normal, that vm is added to lb again.
First of all try to isolate the problem. Ex, if you think GPOs are creating problems, create fresh OU, place a new server in that OU, block inheritance and check the problem.
Complete the following procedure to troubleshoot slow logon issues on XenApp:
Note: Complete Steps 1 to 3 with the same user account, in a load balanced environment. It might be necessary to log on to multiple Remote Desktop Servers to verify if the issue is seen on one or more servers.
With XenDesktop 7, the name XenApp will no longer be used for new products. Well I even made a statement that XenApp died! Well it will be on 14th of January of 2020. When we take a look at XenDesktop 7 Studio, we see that there is no longer a Load Balancing option in the console. For a Desktop OS there is no need for load balancing because you have just one session per OS.
when you open storefront, it says “before you begin, create a new deployment or join existing on…” Even after creating new deployment and uninstalled and reinstalled storefront. Then installed dot net first and then reinstalled. and had no problems.
No qfarm commands in xd7. use powershell instead
The ‘StoreFront’ node under ‘Configuration’ in Citrix Studio is all about configuring StoreFront URL addresses that become configured on XenDesktop VDA machines, such that the user sessions on those machines, when they start Receiver in the session, get connected to the appropriate StoreFront servers to serve the appropriate apps etc for those users.
Below are some of the points where user might face slow logons in accessing citrix apps/desktops:
Winlogon Troubleshooting Steps
Before investing too much time in troubleshooting Citrix, be sure to log onto the Xenapp server via RDP to make sure that logons remain slow there as well.
If you want to know everything that is happening during the logon process, there are verbose logs that can be enabled. In Server 2003, you can enable the USERENV logging by following the KB article: http://support.
When there is a dependency for an application to start another exe before it is started, Created script in startup folder so that the supporting exe will be started up and users manually launch their required app later We use XenDesktop 7.5 with UPM 5.1, so the same user profile is used by XA. User’s default browser is Google Chrome. When he launch Outlook 2013 installed on server from Storefront and try to open URL from letter, an error “Application not found” is appears.
DHCP Conflict Detection- Realtime Scenario Issue: VMs are placed in Maintenance mode automatically.
A quick investigation revealed most of the desktop VMs had been placed in maintenance mode by the Desktop Delivery Controller. It will do this automatically if the VMs do not register after several reboots, see CTX126704 for the registry entries that control this behaviour.
After much investigation looking at the PXE and TFTP services on the Provisioning Servers, checking DHCP scopes weren’t full, confirming switch ACLs and VLANs were correct and more, It was found that the setting on the DHCP server for Conflict Detection had been recently enabled.
PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout Symptoms:
During a Ardence Client boot, the following error message is received:
“PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout"
Cause:
This error message indicates that the TFTP open request was not acknowledged and that you will need to verify that the TFTP service is running.
If an Ardence Client encounters a “PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout” error message during the boot process, verify the following:
1. Spanning Tree is disabled on the switch port connected to the Client.
XenDesktop provides full and partial power management of machines in desktop groups.
You can power manage virtual machines not physical ones. The ability to fully or partially control power management depends on how virtual machines in the desktop group are allocated to users or user devices. Permanently allocated machines can only be partially power managed.
In addition, note that desktops can be in one of these states:
In private or shared desktop groups: unallocated (and therefore unconnected) In private desktop groups: Permanently allocated and unconnected (but ready to be connected) Permanently allocated and in use In shared desktop groups: randomly allocated and in use At any given time, private desktop groups typically contain both permanently allocated and unallocated machines.
VM hosted apps allows you to isolate applications and host them from virtual machines or physical computers, including blade servers, running Windows single-user desktop operating systems. Users access these applications through a Web browser, the Citrix online plug-in, or Citrix Receiver, just as they would applications hosted from XenApp servers running Microsoft Terminal Services. VM hosted apps allows you to host applications that otherwise must be installed locally or require extensive compatibility testing on XenApp servers.
