Sharing stories #StopITShaming at Citrix Synergy 2016 Las Vegas -

team ExtraHop Citrix administrators and had a lot of laughs in this year's Citrix Synergy in Las Vegas poking fun at, such as low power for Citrix technology to blame users when it really is somewhere else (often the infamous layer 8)

Citrix understand a problem administrators, as the blame game works. it is a "guilty until proven innocent" set where Citrix is ​​believed to be the cause of a bad user experience until the administrator can prove otherwise.

We asked some extra Hoppers, which had formerly been, Citrix administrators what real causes slow performance was blamed on Citrix. Here were some of their replies:

• A damaged database index
• QoS reprioritizing ICA
• An overcrowded hypervisor
• A slow web server
• A full WebSphere queue
• an I / O-constrained client due to Windows update or September updates
• cheap 2.4GHz phone disturbs the teleworker of neighbors and their Wi-Fi
• a dead Wireless Access Point
• the companies settling lacks Cisco TAC support and the latest firewall firmware that prevents freezing / rebooting problem
• 10Mb / s data on a link 6Mbps MPLS [1945009[
• 37 people at the Starbucks Wi-Fi (high user latency on a non-RFC1918 address)
• a multi-homed system with dual-standard routes
• IS-IS routing "gone wrong"
• the local exchange carrier made "improvements" over the weekend
• a logon script of the Novell Netware days ported who had a drive letter away
• a user in Cincinnati logging into a domain controller in Haiti
• Gogo in-flight wireless

Getting rid of installation error Citrix SCOM Management Pack -

Have you come ever been in a situation when a Citrix SCOM Management Pack installation on the SCOM management server computer fails ? had after installing the product started, it was suddenly interrupted and the following error message was triggered:

", the wizard setup has been an error "
Error type: ExePackage
error code: 0x800B010A or 0x800905
Detail:

What causes this error

the reason for such behavior the most is probably disabled the automatic installation of trusted root certification authority certificates.

of Citrix SCOM Management Pack installation package is signed with our certificate, which may be familiar not on the target computer. Computer that is not connected to the Internet, can not automatically download these certificates.

In our case, the certificate (issued by VeriSign), which is used by a Citrix SCOM Management Pack has to trust. To achieve this, a root certificate in the certificate chain must be added to " Trusted Root Certification Authorities ".

How and where can I check to see if certificates are missing?

absent in certificates, this Trust in Certificate Management in the root CAs certificate group to be tested:

• Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2 cer
• VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5.cer

What is the solution or corrective?

are

When the automatic installation and updating of trusted root certification authority certificates locked (for security reasons), VeriSign certificates can be manually downloaded and imported.

for manual import the following steps

to receive the certificate from the following location .:
http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/ enterprise / verisign / roots / roots.zip

For Citrix SCOM management packs the G2 and G5 certificates should be introduced:

• class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2 cer
• VeriSign class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5.cer

import class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2. cer

Shift the same steps for the VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority -. G5.cer certificate, if it is missing

Verification

How to check if the installation of VeriSign Certificates solves the problem? The simplest way is that you are running and verify that the process completed successfully Citrix SCOM Management Pack installation on the SCOM management server computer.

What if the provided solution to solve the problem not to do?

in the event that VeriSign certificates ( G2 in G5 ) were on the computer, and after a successful import lacks the problem persists , another reason should be identified for the problem.

1. To verify that UTN user first-Object certificate, follow the below screen-shots. The certificate validation can be found on the Citrix SCOM Management Pack or other product installation package can be performed.

Back In My Day -

That's right, it's time for another episode of "The Cranky Old Tech Guy."

When I worked started for the first time now in and around VDI, about seven years, we approached it as the end-all, be-all solution. It was perfect for every user and every scenario, we said. It was the easiest to manage applications and deployment in new or existing user to install. It was the Tesla of his time.

The only problem was, it was complex. And when I work at Microsoft, I was proud. We compared it to a glorious cake layer of complexity. "Look at all the layers need to have for my VDI solution," I said.

We needed a separate layer for networking, storage, computing, connections, applications, desktops, streaming, user persona, OH MY !! And what was worse, most of these layers, the customer requires them to purchase from various vendors. At the end of the complexity introduced I enjoyed in expensive and often failed VDI implementations. Some of you may still be, the scars from your limped VDI implementations Care

Imagine. Back in the early days of cars, if you wanted a new car, you had all the parts of all the different manufacturers refer. The engine, seats, lights, fenders, running boards and more. And if you designed your car and acquired the parts you had mechanical expertise they have to put it all together. This made cars not only costly but complex and for this very few people owned them.

Then Henry Ford comes and sources all components and uses an assembly line to build a new car for new cars. Not only was he able to make it as easy to make as the starter cranks and drive off, but he lowered drastically the cost of entry so that the Model T a every person car.

I see Nutanix and Citix in the same light. By mounting the core layers of the VDI model (Nutanix InstantON VDI Citrix) and the combination of Citrix best-of-breed networking (NetScaler) and application and desktop virtualization (XenApp and XenDesktop), VDI is a reality for many organizations. Even if you had to scale before problems this marriage of Citrix and Nutanix allows you your ability to grow with ease and simplicity and shrink.

Want to know more? Well, I hope you come to Nutanix .Next because Citrix Gold Sponsor and will have a pre-booth at the Expo floor. Stop by, talk to our experts on Hyper-converged infrastructures and the simplicity, the VDI is now.

Nobody needs a 7-layer red velvet cake, when a simple angel food cake is better for you.

Demo Sandbox Synergy Solutions Powered by Citrix Cloud -

This is a continuation of my new blog post: Citrix Cloud changes the game for IT administrators. Inspired by the Citrix Synergy Solutions Demo Sandbox success, I am thrilled to present simplicity and the ease Citrix offers cloud administrators.

Simply administrators add

Since I was partnered with another solution experts for solutions Demo Sandbox at Synergy, I added to Citrix Cloud as admins, so that they can help with the management of the environment - , the most important or advanced tasks delegate only me as a demo guide , customers will benefit from the same features in Citrix Cloud, as they allow multiple actors within their organization or invite partners, with administration and management of their Citrix to look around and to help.

one of the biggest factors that this year's application was faster and easier, that I did not have to build my own XenDesktop site - I as a service simply consume it

the XenApp and XenDesktop service in Citrix Cloud offers the desktop Delivery controller, Citrix Studio, showcase, NetScaler Gateway, Citrix License Server and the associated databases required to support the application and desktop deployment. As admin, I just needed to build the "Resource Location." - Where the VDAS life and the applications installed which made my life simply because I could concentrate on the most important elements of our demo experience. I was able to connect the building and the management of all the core infrastructure, the skip for users and for meetings at the correct session host machines are mediated

Citrix customers and partners obtain similar benefits of Citrix Cloud -. Focus on the core business director, applications, customers and improve usability. Citrix Cloud also saves valuable administrative configuration time and resources that normally invest in the construction of XenApp and XenDesktop infrastructure, including the facade, gateway service components, including DNS and certificates required for access.

Delivering Apps and Desktops With Gateway as a service

far skipping the largest simplification and time savings this year was the NetScaler -Setup total we activated start without using a NetScaler ever external meeting - we just flipped a switch in Citrix cloud

! connected

advantage of Citrix Cloud Connector By resided users from anywhere in VDAS that in our resource location (private cloud). the Cloud Connector requires only outbound connectivity on port 443, a special avoid network requirements (such as open ports on the external firewall) In addition to a safe design, the connector is easily and quickly to implement -. makes it easy to get your Cloud (s) or data center Citrix Cloud to connect Citrix Lifecycle Management

as an IT administrator.

IT use

Simplified management workloads in cloud virtual, private or public, you can get more requests Citrix infrastructure to deploy and configure, allowing them to be on-demand enterprise business needs. Citrix Lifecycle Management provides a single, optimal and time-efficient way to do automated deployment of Citrix certified blueprints for several Citrix product lines.

In the sandbox we could ease and speed of this function to present through a XenApp and XenDesktop design with Citrix Lifecycle Management in our Citrix XenServer deployment in the IBM hosted Strato. From the sandbox, people were able to implement the sandbox plan to monitor progress and view it with the short time frame succeed. As admin, this tool offers enormous possibilities, the ability for the admin to optimize the design, customize requirements and the value add functionality to optimize updates and scaling to meet. All in all, it brings peace of mind to an admin with Citrix workloads

Share File -. Secure file sharing, storage, syncing to your users anywhere, anytime

In the past, I had to have several consoles open, but now I can only use a browser - the possibility to change services of glass within a single disc. There is only one administrator credentials, I have to worry about, not a per-system or product. This administrator has access to all services offered by Citrix Cloud.

The Share File drive mapper solution we on XenApp and XenDesktop experience integrated into the Sandbox showcased how easy is Citrix product solutions and facilitating access to integrate presented to the end user to start the services consuming. As admin, I do not have to get to files on the user cares to log into their Share File account online access and synchronize the files for the end user is presented certainly as a mapped drive that contains the files that the user needs, to do their work. When they have finished, invite them back and its gets back synchronizations on demand - how easy it is

Secure Browser service - Clientless secure access to web applications

most Citrix administrators have released a browser-based Web App or the URL in the past ... but it's never this very easy! All we had in the sandbox, select the resource store design, add a Citrix resource site and tap into internal web applications (instead of implementing web app systems in the demo environment).

do

Secure Browser offers had a clean and simple way to make your applications and deliver them safely to publish to end users.

as administrator overhead infrastructure footprint and delivery mechanism, compared to a traditional model, was nil.

Total as an administrator of the platform you are using simple 24/7 access to Citrix shown cloud. You are in full control of the infrastructure without the hassle of setup requirements of reason to have to scratch. Citrix Cloud Connector provides a secure and highly available access from your resource sites for Citrix cloud of a traditional, hybrid and cloud-based deployment model Administrators can bring sites and resources online and provide solution with faster turnaround and efficiency.

Citrix Cloud offers several options admins agile, productive and meet the customer wherever and whenever be!

The Mobile Computer: It's more than just a home office -

While we often think working on the mobile workforce from a home office or sitting with their laptops in coffee houses, most these workers still go to the office, participating for various reasons, including meetings with colleagues or clients, and corporate training. support of this, technology such as network connectivity implementation and a variety of mobile devices, is only the beginning, as to enable the mobile workforce.

This is something that many of the have taken in the world of finance note. recognize

Finance industry leader that when mobile workers in office buildings, so that they offer a physical workplace, mobility support not only improves productivity and satisfaction, but also reduces the cost of real estate. This is vital, because many financial centers around the world in high rent districts are. The double benefit of making the new job makes it an attractive investment. But how does a team funding institution begin?

Read the whitepaper "Maximizing the value of the new digital workplace"

First, use a solution-based design methodology, such as Design Thinking and agile design at the initial stage. In this way, the devices may uncover Team human needs and incorporate them into design planning. For example, by the workers on the habits, needs and desires, the best drive productivity, the facilities team can dig requirements as the survey:

• Temporary teams of people to meet quickly and resolve based on the work on a project or in a specific department. This can involve people in different departments or locations. They are anywhere access to their applications and data, while need in the office. In large conference rooms, digital technology such as video conferencing, telephone, projector, etc. probably be required.
• Individual work, sensible calls or sessions will require private, quiet rooms which are fully furnished.
• to make socialization and relaxation teams to strengthen the corporate culture and reduce stress require a scheduled area, which also offers food and beverages.
• , the regulatory requirements that affect the design of the room must be ensured that, for example, that sensitive financial information must be separate from the common areas of the office Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates - considered. Security Best Practices also require sterile jobs dedicated to corporate customers sensitive information over the phone - that is, no drawers or shelves for pens, paper and personal items. Deposit must be made for personal use in a common room.

During a design drawing, should the facilities team integrate modular areas with movable walls, multifunctional rooms and even furniture that can. be reconfigured on the fly to ensure that designs are future-proof and flexible enough to account of changes to

Next, the devices team with IT work mobility enabling technology to provide, including: [1945002[

• existing wireless and remote access infrastructure for people to work from anywhere in the office
• Secure delivery of business and productivity apps on any device-employees or company property with high performance to be regulatory requirements and an exceptional user experience
• Secure access to documents, sharing, synchronization and storage
• Web-based collaboration solutions that offer screen sharing video conferencing, and the ability scheduled to host or impromptu virtual meetings
• remote help desk services for mobile workers

last, but certainly not least, do not forget to engage most with uninterrupted, to ensure high-performance access and availability to end users - in this case, the workers - to help them acclimate to the new working environment. Offer Communication regarding the timetable for implementation, what has changed, and information on the approach for questions and comments. Plan for the training courses and tours the workers to help get used to the new environment and technology. Manage to measure pre- and post-move surveys interest, measure satisfaction and ask for feedback. internal communication channels to share the results / promote, is a good way to mark success, and know mobile employees know what to expect when they arrive in this office.

What advantages can financial services institutions enjoy from work redesign investments? A welcome effect of devices for mobile workers to redesign is a significant reduction in real estate overhead. On average, the mobility of workers results in a 50 percent increase in usage for a particular location (a desk / seat for every 1.5 FTEs or FTE), the capital cost of leasing or building office space reduced. A smaller footprint protects the environment by reducing energy consumption and emissions. Another result of a transformed work is to help attract and retain talent and build loyalty to the company and employees.

What the workers themselves, they can enjoy a dynamic environment that fosters active collaboration, creativity and productivity. Including a mixture of different types of spaces within the building and provides all mobile technology to promote necessary staff and customer loyalty ultimately leads a better customer experience.

XenApp & XenDesktop Management Pack - Information

To the XenApp and XenDesktop monitoring for SCOM health, availability and performance of your delivery infrastructure Citrix SCOM Management Pack efficiently, it helps to understand , the power and the extent of two key services that are provided with the package:

1. XenApp / XenDesktop management Pack Agent ( MPXAXDAgent )

of MPXAXDAgent collects the data from the delivery controller and forwards it to the SCOM server.

2. Operations Manager Agent / Microsoft Monitoring Agent ( Health )

This Microsoft Agent installed a basic agent on the server to monitor. He directs data to the SCOM server.

observations

We have observed in a XenApp and XenDesktop environment in our test lab, the two services. The XenApp and XenDesktop environment includes:

• 4,400 desktop VDI
• 0 Server VDI
• 500 Apps
• 10,000 Active Sessions

results

• to the number of sessions increase the CPU utilization of MPXAXDAgent
• increasing the number of meetings does not affect the CPU utilization does not affect of Health
• Average CPU usage of MPXAXDAgent was ~ 24%
• Average CPU usage of Health was ~ 0.2%.
• Average memory usage of MPXAXDAgent was ~ 2 GB
• was average memory usage of Health ~ 100 MB

Note

• on the server in the XenApp and XenDesktop Delivery controller hosting approximately 3.7 GB of physical memory for the common needs of MPXAXDAgent and [should
• MPXAXDAgent adds additional requirements to the top of Health whose consumption remained insignificant all the time.

These results help understand scalability, resource consumption and the performance of Citrix SCOM Management Pack for XenApp and XenDesktop. It also lists monitoring limits and the average resource consumption of XenApp / XenDesktop Management Pack Agent (MPXAXDAgent) and the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) agents (Health), as measured in an environment with the specified XenApp / XenDesktop and SCOM configurations.

The primary reason for the rapid migration is security - Windows 10 numerous security benefits, such credential protection, Trusted Boot and built-AV / malware protection provides that cyber challenges in addressing can help today. As outlined in the Communication, the production adoption in January 2016 and should all existing legacy Windows operating systems running out until January 2017. Start This is a daunting task, the Department of Defense is considering estimated running 4 million endpoints have Windows. to meet today

on with several DoD agencies in recent months, a common theme is omnipresent and palpable. ALARM Each creeps to plan this migration, prepare and complete. If the past is any indication, a Windows desktop migration could take months or years of time, effort and cost. Endpoints, application compatibility, hardware drivers, and the sheer size of Windows endpoints in existence, this may be an insurmountable companies make

Note the following common challenges in mind when your agency a Windows plans 10 Migration .:

• Application Compatibility . There is an abundance of applications within the standard desktop images using the DoD used. This COTS and custom applications have been built and tested for current and earlier versions of Windows (XP, Vista, Win7) - and are not guaranteed to run on Windows 10 natively. The series of tests, upgrades and modifications to provide compatibility will take a considerable amount of time and cost. Often internal and integrator application development is slow to update in OS migrations, the matter further complicate. Windows 10 replaced the famous "Internet Explorer" browser with the new 'Edge' browser - a unique challenge to the compatibility of Web-based applications presented that have been built and tested on Internet Explorer. Many of these business-critical applications is heavy lifting required to migrate Windows 10 within the time limit.
• hardware compatibility and procurement costs . Another hurdle that agencies run into the existing hardware that simply do not have Windows 10 may not support older PCs BIOS, graphics cards, network cards and all kinds of peripheral devices for which there is no Windows 10 drivers ready. Instead of encouraging the support of existing hardware, computer hardware manufacturer customers to upgrade their hardware as part of the migration. DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (Stigs) have also been at the top of the curve 10 window to use the require of agencies PCs, embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware to increase military network domains to the cost and complexity join Win 10 adoption.

• The growing mobility challenge . Now that mobility is a reality with the rapid adoption of tablet, smart phones and tablet / PC hybrids at the Pentagon, data security challenges will become even more acute. How is your agency circumvent these ultra mobile devices in a Windows 10 world? Device management has several potential benefits, depending on the operating system, but Data-at-Rest challenges still exist. How can we ensure data security of critical government, as these mobile devices become part of the standard?

agencies are wrestling with these three challenges, have to complete a successful migration, the January 2017 deadline applies.

in the course of the last decade, agencies have proven that the best way to overcome these challenges is to mitigate with virtualization technologies that decouple the operating system and associated applications from the underlying physical hardware. This solution, known as virtual desktops and applications, enables agencies for a smooth transition to Windows 10 to continue the use of existing hardware, while increasing data security. In addition, specialized migration tools predict Windows 10 application compatibility by the possible predestination and provides guidance to tailor how for future usability software.

With virtualized desktops and applications as a service through integrated tools before delivery operations holistic end-to-end improved to determine type of guarantee applications, during and after the 10-migrations from Windows.

A Taste of 10 -

Back in my day ...

And now, it's time for another exciting episode of
"the Grumpy Old Tech Guy."

Back in my day we did not on the user experience. We have our users hardware and software that we selected at our discretion (and we used it and enjoyed it, by gum!). We use these technologies to our users and that was it. If they did not like it? Too bad they have what we gave them, and they used them as best they could. Period.

Fast forward twenty or even ten years until today and it is a different story. The User Experience does matter. And it plays a major role, or, as we say in Boston, "an angry very." Because if the employees (fka "user") are not happy, they will just go around us and maintain their own technology, effectively cutting IT altogether. Not to mention that most of us now carry out employee satisfaction surveys, and if we do not get 5 stars, in the words of Ricky Ricardo, "Luuuuuceeeeeeee, you have a few" do splaining. "

looming By migrating to Windows 10 on the horizon for many of your customers, now is the time to their employees a vested partner in your success.

a Taste of making 10: What to do

It's really easy, especially if your customers create already a Citrix partner service , or a few "golden" images . to your XenDesktop farm customer. XenDesktop already publishing support 10 Windows and how to implement the most important functions (acronyms) need for a Windows 10 VDI. VDA, PVS, MCS, UPM, AppDNA and more. this Windows 10 desktops to a selected group of test people and invite them to tire of the new desktop to occur.

can spin the test employees their Windows 10 virtual desktops and get to the interface at their own pace acclimatized. You can test and make sure that they can adjust before a company-wide rollout their LOB applications in the new desktop. They can easily be in production Windows 7 desktops as easy as changing to close a window. This will not only feel empowered employees, but it is also as a vested partner in the migration and feel that their employees increase satisfaction. Yes five star!

to increase and responsible for you, your partner for a successful roll-out at your customer site, your taste 10 very effective turn in your acceptance and success. You can observe how employees use Windows 10 golden images, the hell also record the sessions in Director and make changes to what you and your customers to see. And because the user is experienced with your Windows 10 VDI before you do the switch flip then help desk tickets are likely to be fewer and farther between. And that makes for a happy customer and happy customers are repeat customers.

As an added value to our Citrix solution Advisors (CSA), we are expanding our range AppDNA your customers to use for free, while Windows run 10 migration. That's right, quickly and efficiently test their applications compatibility it with the Windows 10 in a fraction of the time used to take with manual tests. You want to pay your customers for months and months of manual app compat testing? I do not think so.

Now, after a successful taste of 10 program and you are ready to create your own supported Windows 10 desktops you deploy can ask yourself, "I should install deploy fat Windows 10 as a legacy or should I use the Windows 10 retained as VDI? "These are big questions that you raise. I bet you all night thinking of them stayed on. I know that I did it.

I, of course, would 10 use the argument for the production of windows with XenDesktop. My argument, while largely influenced by my employment at Citrix goes far beyond. Let's face it, not all of your customers existing hardware is ready Windows 10, ineffective makes XenDesktop this point. And the more you can save your customers on hardware purchases can be converted into sales services. Does your customer such as increased security, flexibility and on this blog that the golden thread provides a great user experience? Check, check and check if Windows 10 with a virtual desktop.

Well, I know what you're wondering. Ask "But Microsoft said Windows 10, the last major version of Windows. If that's the case, why is my customer needs VDI if they never migrate again from one operating system to another?"

And again big question. Let me plant this seed and a little hoe. While it may be true that there will be no further major releases, Microsoft is going to do what I call the Rolling Thunder upgrades. That is, they publish material changes much more frequently than before. The best way to manage this is thunder, with a select few golden images of your virtual desktops. It is easier these updates centrally manage XenDesktop than 50,000 end devices. And what client not as efficient consulting partner like you?

And that's all the things you can do for your customers today! Check out this blog post to get started.
