In my environment we use Smart Cards to logon and this causes a lot of False Positives in Director. The reason for the False Positives is because people are easily distracted, they are prompted for their Smart Card at the Desktop or Published App Logon and their connection usually times out before the user enters their PIN, not to mention if they do not open the ICA file when using a browser. We do not use FAS so there are tons of Connection Failures in Director in the morning and sometimes you miss when there are legitimate issues. [More]

From what I can tell with Personal Session Hosts, once the Session Host is assigned to a user, you are stuck with that config. Microsoft seems to be saying, you can't, or shouldn't, reassign the Session Host to a different user. Just remove the Session Host from the Host Pool, delete the VM and create a new VM. This probably makes sense if the VM was used for a long period of time, and you want to make sure there are no issues. After all, these are not MCS or PVS created machines and can accumulate crap over time. [More]

I had a Remote user complain that their Session was slow and unresponsive a few times in the last week. The user was connected to the Internet using Xfinity 5G so Latency was the first thing that I thought of. Her session was currently behaving, so I needed to log her latency to review when/if the issue occurred again. Since I do not run a Citrix ADM appliance, I wrote a script to record the user's latency to a CSV file so I could review it later. I ran it every morning for a week. [More]

I have updated my script for testing "Direct to Citrix Storefront" or "Citrix Gateway to Storefront" to work with Citrix StoreFront 1912 CU1 (1912.0.1000). The script attempts to closely resemble what an actual user would do to launch an Application or Desktop via Storefront. [More]

I rebuilt my Windows 10 VM Image for XenDesktop and was testing it. I ran Outlook 2019, which configured successfully, opened my mailbox, etc. I logged off, did some tweaking to the image and logged in again.

When I launched Outlook it was prompting me for a password. [More]
