There are many post around to tune Citrix XenApp in many ways and there are even more to tune Microsoft Windows 2008 R2.
I want to begin a new document as we had with Citrix Metaframe 1.8 tuning tips on Microsoft Windows NT4 TSE. This was a great document and very helpfull in many way.
If you have any ideas, agree on what I will write or disagree, I take everything to form a big document available online for everyone.
First I would like to know if we should create a wiki-like to let everyone working on the document and add/change at will, what do you think ?
Which is the best way to realize Citrix XenApp tuning tips
- A wiki where everyone can add/change (69%, 9 Votes)
- A thread on the forum (31%, 4 Votes)
- By email (0%, 0 Votes)
- Another (0%, 0 Votes)

Unattended installation is very usefull in large XenApp farm, of course if you’re deploying one server per two month you might not be interessed by this process automation but this is always interresting to know this kind of tips. Scripts bellow are example I use every day in production to install servers, of course its needs to be change and adapt to your own settings and of course if you have some ideas to share, I take it !
This unattended example assume you have only one network card enable, a local XenApp source installation file and IP address type 192.168.3 / 192.168.10 / 192.168.200 / 10.113 / 10.112. This file allow to join an existing farm named CTX_TEST with a datastore hosted on a SQL server. Finally, you need to create one folder per farm inside your XenApp source folder if you are automating multi farm setup.

This information can be very useful, because as you might know, there are build numbers and version numbers, and it become a mess very fast when you try to list all ICA client version connecting your Citrix Presentation / XenApp servers.

Here we go, Green Computing is coming ! Now Citrix give us the ability to switch off XenApp servers and switch it on only when the load on the power on server reach a limit. This is very very smart and I think this Power and Capacity Management for XenApp will be a success.

This error “Cannot connect to the Citrix XenApp Server” happen from time to time, this is a message from the XenApp plugin (ICA Client). Today I had this one because we have move some servers and they had to change their IP address. The IT server team told me everything was done I should be able to put this machine back in production, all changes have been done and everything is working well.
BUT, when I enable these servers, this windows appear for all the users who try to launch a publish application :
This message means the Citrix XenApp server cannot be reach with the address return by the datacollector. So i have assume the server team did the change on the network configuration of the servers but didn’t reboot it…
To be fast, I make the choice to just restart the IMA service, it did the trick.
