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]

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]

Like my previous script for monitoring a XenApp 6.5 Farm, this script is based on the scripts written by David Ott and Jason Poyner. I decided to add to these foundations and make it something that can be used throughout the day.

I created this as an easy way for Citrix Admins and others Admins and/or Users to get a quick look of the current XenDesktop and XenApp usage as well as the basic health of the XenApp Servers, Sessions, Latency, etc. I use it as an augment to Citrix Director. [More]

I have updated my script for testing Citrix Storefront or Netscaler and Storefront. The previous versions can be found here and here. I have modified the script so it handles errors better as well as added support for Storefront 3.6 and Netscaler 11.x. [More]

Since Citrix has released version 3 of Storefront, I needed to make an update to my original script, found here, to make it work with the latest Storefront release. I decided to make a few more modifications as well to provide more info. [More]
