In the age where Agua or Aero-glass interfaces are somewhat as important as the underlining kernel, same rules have been applying to Scripts and utilities, after all not everyone wants to be using complex scripts and endless command-line combinations.

For those who are not so keen on Scripts and CLI, our French friend Pierre Marmignon created an app that doesn't solve a new problem, but tackles it more elegantly. Pierre has created an GUI app that (bulk) imports/exports all your published applications.

If you have an useful Citrix app or utility that you would like to share with the world by showcasing it here on the Citrix communities, feel free to send an email to: gus.pinto@citirx.com with the title Community App.

Back in april I stumbled upon and brought forward a nice finding on our internal showcase farm, an application named ICAPipe later renamed to Citrix Fast Launch.

I posted some demos and an interview with the creators of the tool, shortly after announced that we had the intent of releasing the app as a utility on CDN with forum support.

As you probably know, it's been 2 months and the utility has not being released, and the reason why, is very simple.

The demand this app has generated was tremendous, but despite of the community demand, many customers would not be able to take advantage of this app simply because it's not officially supported, therefore making it not suitable for production environments.

We were set with a dilemma, release the app anyways, assuming web support would suffice or review our release process and attempt to sneak CFL in the XenApp product roadmap.

I can tell you that in the meantime we've been putting the app thru many tests, while identifying the scenarios users could benefit from it, and at the same time, talking to our engineering group trying to lockdown a possible target for this application to be introduced as part of our product.

Of course, there is no guarantee Citrix Fast Launch will be included in the future, however one thing is certain, you as customers can influence these decisions, helping us identify where does faster launch times fit on your list of priorities.

With that been said, here are some questions for you...

Community Release vs. Product Integration?	Choose
I'm OK with a community release supported on CDN forums
Integrated is preferred but a community release is better than nothing
No rush, I can wait until it becomes officially part of XenApp
I cannot implement apps in production without official support

Would faster launching times impact your decision of deploying XenApp?	Choose
Yes
No

Welcome to my blog!  

I've been at Citrix for about 6 months now and my team and I have been hard at work to bring you the revamped Citrix Community  site.   I'm calling this version of the site "Citrix Community 2.0" to emphasize the fact that it's a new version of the site and that the site incorporates many of the Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 technologies that you see written  or filmed about so often in the media.  I tend to think that a lot of Web 2.0 is overhyped (are there really this many Web 2.0 companies??), but I found this definition that I really like "Web 2.0 is linking people...people sharing, trading, and collaborating" If you have 4 minutes, I really suggest checking out the video - plus it's got a great soundtrack. 

The whole purpose of updating our site is to really allow people with an interest in virtualization and application delivery to share and learn ideas.  In fact, you'll see our tagline is "Discover, Connect, Participate".  The new site allows you to all of that and more! 

So, let's get down to the details.  What is new about the site? 

The Citrix Community site is a new multi-media, launching pad to reach your favorite Citrix communities.  It is the location to discover what is hot around application delivery and virtualization; connect with Citrix product teams, customers and industry pundits; and participate through sharing of opinions, thoughts and knowledge in blogs, forums and code sharing.   

New capabilities include better description and easier navigation to Citrix communities, ties to our extended communities in the industry (Hello Citrix CTPs!), enhanced multi-media/video support and real time blog feeds from across the blogosphere, all on a completely redesigned look and feel. In addition, we have made it easier for Citrites (that's what we call ourselves) and non-Citrites (that would be you!) to participate and create content.  Check out our Video Tip Factory if you don't believe me. 

Of course, one of the key communities is the Citrix Developer Network, which has undergone quite a dramatic change itself... 

The Citrix Developer Network is the place for open, unfiltered, straight talk on Citrix products.  The goal of the Citrix Developer Network is to provide access to technical information for all aspects of our community, from Network Architects to IT Professionals, to Data Center Architects to Developers.   

Based on your requests, forum posts and support calls, we have expanded the products covered, while simplifying access to the information.  We now have specific Developer Networks for XenApp, XenDesktop, NetScaler,  XenServer and one of our newest (and coolest) products, Workflow Studio.  Interested in multiple products?  Never fear, due to tagging technology, blogs, discussion and content relevant to multiple products will be available wherever relevant (example, server virtualization is key to both XenServer and XenDesktop). 

New capabilities available in per-product flavors include RSS feeds for our forums (I know, duh - this should have been there long ago), best practices pages, multi-media centers, wiki articles, code snippets and SDK examples. 

Last but not least, the Citrix Blogs platform has some simple to use, yet powerful enhancements, including "window shade" views of blogs to allow you to see more content in less real estate and the simplification of our group blogs to ensure you can find the content you are looking for. 

Today's launch of the revamped Citrix Community site is the first phase of multiple updates occurring in the next few months.  It is the result of a lot of hard work from the team, but also from the community.  Many of the changes and planned changes come directly from you, our community.  We are not done yet and I hope you aren't either. 

Please provide us feedback in the forms of responses to this blog, emails, or better yet post a video. 

Thanks for taking the time to check out the new Citrix Community site... and I have one last request... 

Discover, Connect, Participate

How many times have you had an ISV come into your shop pushing their new solution, and you ask them if it works with Citrix? 

How many times did you get a blank stare or a reply stating that they don't know because they don't have a Citrix lab environment or that it's too hard to setup.

We'll now there's no excuse.  MyCitrixLab is now up and running and available to ISV vendors to use to verify that their application works with XenApp, Citrix Access Essentials and XenServer.  MyCitrixLab is an online virtual lab environment available to all Citrix ecosystem partners, and becoming a Citrix Alliance partner at the Citrix Technology Member level is free. 

More details on the MyCitrixLab configurations can be found at http://community.citrix.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=29851667 All the ISV needs to do is schedule lab time and make sure they have the basics covered by following the Citrix Ready test scipts before they approach you with their pitch.

So the next time an new ISV partner comes knocking and they state they don't know if their app is compatible with Citrix, or that setting up a Citrix environment is too hard, give them 3 quick pieces of advice:

-          Sign up for free as a Citrix Alliance Partner from the partner section on citrix.com at http://www.citrix.com/English/partners/programs/thirdlevel.asp?programID=1681660&tlID=23443

-          Have them verify their solution using http://MyCitrixLab.com which is free to Citrix Alliance partners

-          Become Citrix Ready

Then they can come back and explain why their solution is a good fit with your Citrix deployment.  Why should you need to do the basic compatibility testing for them? 

 A few of us were having a brainstorm session recently regarding the ICA client, mobility and device support, inevitably the discussion led to the topic of competing priorities, limited resources, and business cases. Al Granville ( sometimes affectionately referred to as the " suit " in the blogosphere ) is the Product Manager for the ICA client and has the enviable position of driving what features and functions get included ( and which ones don't ). Nowadays you can't talk about mobility without the topic of support for the iPhone and where that fits versus all the other priorities. If you also want Citrix iPhone support please place your vote and tell us your use case here. Typically this analysis means doing a market analysis, talking to customers and developing a business case comparing all the alternatives and determining the ROI. During this discussion however, Al made the profound statement that maybe in this situation the business case simply needs to say  ...   it's the iPhone.. Stupid !  

This brings up a really interesting point that IT also seems to be dealing with lately, that is what is the value of new and "cool " and do you spend resources to enable these technologies. It could be the iPhone or it could be Web 2.0 collaboration tools or desktop video conferencing, whatever. Sometimes it's straight forward to put an ROI and business case together, however quantifying the value of "cool" is subjective at best. Apple as the best example has done a superb job proving that elegant design, user experience, and "cool " is a profitable business model. This certainly has proven to be the case in the consumer world, but it's also evident that this is impacting the business IT world as well, at least from the perspective of user expectations. I am interested to know if this phenomena is also impacting IT's decision process for implementing new projects.  

What criteria does your IT organization use for evaluating new projects ?	Choose
Business requirements, ROI, and compliance only
The above plus,  Executive mandates
The above plus,  User productivity and desires ( like iPhone support )
The above plus,  Does the new IT technology provide a competitive advantage

Microsoft Windows PowerShell command line shell and scripting language helps IT professionals achieve greater control and productivity. Using a new admin-focused scripting language, more than 130 standard command line tools, and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell allows IT professionals to control system administration and accelerate automation more easily

With PowerShell, Citrix Administrators can script MFCom Objects to manage and administer  the XenApp Farm. The secret of using COM objects starts with the command: New-Object -COM.

The following PowerShell example creates a new MetaFrame object (do not get confused with the COM Object naming), initializes the Farm and prints out the farmname:

$farm = new-Object -com "MetaframeCOM.MetaframeFarm"
$farm.Initialize(1)
$farm.FarmName

It's not going to be a spectacular script. But look at the following little code enhancement:

$farm = new-Object -com "MetaframeCOM.MetaframeFarm"
$farm.Initialize(1)
$farm.FarmName
$farm.sessions | Format-Table UserName,ClientAddress

Just adding one more lines of code and you will get all sessions within the farm displaying the Username and IP Address.

Setting up your PowerShell / MFCom environment

Beginning  with PowerShell / MFCom Scripting you should install Microsoft Powershell on a Citrix Presentation / XenApp Server in your lab. I recommend downloading the PowerShell Graphical Helpfile which also provides great information's about VBScript to PowerShell conversion.

For creating and editing your PowerShell scripts I suggest downloading the free PowerGui graphical user interface and script editor. Its easy to use and works well with COM Objects.

Displaying apps in your farm

To give you some basic ideas where PowerShell leverages your daily administrative tasks, I've created the following script:
$farm = new-Object -com "MetaframeCOM.MetaframeFarm"
$farm.Initialize(1)
$farm.FarmName
$farm.applications| where {$_.BrowserName -like "Winword*" {color:black}} | select DistinguishedName

The script above enumerates each application published in the farm and selects all applications where Winword* is contained in the BrowserName.

Here are the documents Dan created regarding XenApp on XenServer -

Reference Architecture: Explains why a 100% physical architecture was reconfigured to include both physical and virtual systems and deciding factors of why XenServer is the best server virtualization solution for XenApp servers.

Implementation Guide: A step-by-step guide showing how to incorporate a XenApp Farm into a XenServer Platinum environment. Demonstrates how to create a golden XenApp image to be provisioned to any number of virtual machines.

Design Considerations: To meet the needs of the business, a solution like XenServer for XenApp must allow for design decisions. This article focuses on a few of the major considerations when integrating these solutions together.

The XenDesktop Setup Wizard allows an administrator to quickly create a pooled desktop group with virtual desktop VMs for their XenDesktop environment.  I wanted to share more information on what the XD Setup Wizard does along with promoting it as we have had several customers unaware of the benefits of this wizard.  If you are going to create a desktop group of pooled desktops then you should seriously consider using the XD Setup Wizard as it will save you a tremendous amount of time.  Trust me on this as I needed to create 300 virtual desktops on VMware ESX two years ago which led to me creating this wizard.  But I will save that talk for another time.

First let's cover the prerequisites and initial configuration...

Before the XenDesktop Setup Wizard is run you need to have a virtual desktop VM template and a base OS image (aka Provisioning Server vDisk).  For detailed setup information on how to accomplish this please refer to the XenDesktop Getting Started Guide.  This guide describes the configuration for the XD Setup Wizard as well as the other components of XenDesktop.  

When you create your virtual desktop VM template you specify the VM hardware parameters for your base virtual desktop VM.   When the XD Setup Wizard is run it reads this VM configuration information and then creates X number of VMs using the same virtual hardware configuration.  For example if you created a VM on XenServer that has 512MB of RAM, 1 virtual CPU, 1 virtual NIC and no virtual hard drive all your new virtual desktop VMs would have that same configuration.  Keep in mind that you do not need to have a nice round number in terms of RAM.  You could try using something like 460MB of RAM per desktop to try and squeeze one or two extra desktop VMs per server.  Of course that would only help if RAM was your bottleneck.  No virtual hard drive for the VM is possible because Provisioning Server (PVS) dynamically streams the base OS image to the VM which does not require a hard drive in the VM.

However, in advanced cases you may want add a virtual hard drive to the VM that will cache information from the streamed base OS image.  This virtual hard drive will be used as the write back cache for the Provisioning Server (PVS) base OS image and will typically be 1 to 2 GB.  Whether or not you want a virtual hard drive depends on your network configuration and storage.  By moving the write back cache off the network storage that also has the PVS base OS image you reduce the load on your network storage and you balance your network load.  However having your PVS base OS image and the write back cache for each desktop on the same storage device makes the configuration easier and can result in better storage utilization.  These are some of the trade offs to consider when you want to have virtual desktops deployments for thousands of users.  If you need to scale your virtual desktop environment to over a thousand users email me at sunil.kumar@citrix.com.

When you create your virtual desktops you will be asked for the base VM template, the base OS image (Provisioning Server virtual disk),  the base host name along with the number of virtual desktops to create, and the name of the desktop group.  In our case let's use

• "CXD_VM_TEMPLATE" as the base VM template
• "CXD_IMAGE" as the base OS image
• "CXD1, CXD2, ... CXD100" as the name of the virtual desktops.
• "CXD_GROUP" as the desktop group name.

You will be asked for all this information when you run the wizard to create a desktop group.  The attached video walks you through this configuration. 

Now let's look at what happens when the wizard starts creating virtual desktops ...

Step 1: Connect to the hosting infrastructure and create new virtual desktops 

The XD Setup Wizard connects to the XenServer resource pool via the master XenServer.  It instructs XenServer to create X number of VMs.  In our case we created 100 VMs.  A new MAC address is created for each VM that corresponds to the virtual NIC for the VM.  The XD Setup Wizard stores this newly created MAC address for each VM along with the host name specified (CXD1, CXD2, ... CXD100).  The XD Setup Wizard uses the first MAC address for the VM if multiple NICs are used.  However I would avoid this configuration because bad things could happen if you try it.  Well actually the worst that could happen is that your virtual desktop would not boot, but because of the complexities of having multiple NICs I would avoid this configuration unless you could not live without having multiple NICs.  We now have 100 VMs created with the XD Setup Wizard storing the host name for each VM along with the MAC address.

Step 2: Configure virtual desktops in Provisioning Server

The XD Setup Wizard adds a target device in Provisioning Server for each of the virtual desktops.  The client name for each of the target devices is the host name.  When the VM boots it replaces the host name of the base OS image with this client name.  Each target device is uniquely identified by the MAC address which is why we stored the MAC address for each VM in the previous step.  Each target device is then set to boot from the specified base OS image (CXD_IMAGE).  In addition Provisioning Server adds each target device to active directory.  You can either let the XD Setup Wizard add computers to the default location or you can specify a custom OU.  We now have 100 provisioning server target (client) devices that correspond to each of the VMs created in the previous step.

Step 3: Add virtual desktops to a new Desktop Group in a Desktop Farm

The wizard now creates the new desktop group we called "CXD_GROUP".  The 100 virtual desktop VMs created above are now added to this desktop group on the Desktop Delivery Controller (aka the Connection Broker or DDC).  The DDC identifies each of the VMs by their AD host name, but when the VMs are added the DDC can only see the VM name and UUID (Universal Identifier).  The wizard knows the host name for each VM so it informs the DDC of this automatically.  Otherwise the administrator would need to manually associate each VM name / UUID with its corresponding AD host name.  We now have a newly created desktop group with 100 virtual desktops.

Readying the desktop group for use

Once the desktop group is created, the Desktop Delivery Controller takes over and starts the initial setup for the desktop group.  This includes starting the idle virtual desktops.  These idle desktops are used to quickly connect a user to a virtual desktop because the virtual desktop is already running and only the profile needs to be applied when the user logs in.  The DDC informs the XenServer resource pool to start a virtual desktop VM.  When this virtual desktop is started it streams down the base OS image using the Provisioning Server component.  The virtual desktop loads the Virtual Desktop Agent as part of the OS boot process which then registers with the DDCs in the XenDesktop farm.  The desktop group is now ready!

In addition to the XenDesktop Setup Wizard automating all of this for you it only takes seconds per desktop.  Are you now convinced to use the XenDesktop Setup Wizard as opposed to doing everything manually?  You can now run the XD Setup Wizard again to either create a new desktop group or add new VMs to an existing desktop group.  To modify advanced options of the desktop group such as idle pool settings you can run the Access Management Console on the DDC.

ClearType (aka Font Smoothing) is a software technology developed by Microsoft that improves the readability of text on existing LCDs, such as laptop screens, Pocket PC screens and flat panel monitors. With ClearType font technology, the words on your computer screen look almost as sharp and clear as those printed on a piece of paper.

For the longest time Microsoft ClearType has been working properly inside an ICA session with Citrix Presentation Server running on Windows 2000 Server, but it did not work with XenApp 4.5 running on Windows Server 2003.

As previously mentioned Citrix was working on an update to XenApp 4.5 for Windows Server 2003 to utilize this new Microsoft Update for Terminal Services to provide ICA users with ClearType support.

Well, on July 7th (yesterday) Citrix released a hotfix for XenApp 4.5 on Windows Server 2003 that enables ClearType on its XenApp 4.5 Servers.

Note: This patch also rectifies several other issues in XenApp 4.5. You can find the list of fixes by clicking here.

If you want to learn more about ClearType, I can suggest two great articles on this subject:

• Jeff Muir on ClearType and Terminal Services.
• Helge Klein has written an excellent article on ClearType Bandwidth requirements on Terminal Services.

As you may have seen in previous blog discussions some of us are very keen on the idea of a device that goes beyond the existing smartphone limitations of small screens and keyboards. The ability to connect to XenApp - XenDesktop from a phone and view it ( & use it ) on a large screen is now possible. This pic shows the Nirvana Phone concept with an iMate 6150 and a standard monitor and BT keyboard. We are not at Nirvana yet, but these devices make it visible we are getting closer.

Do you ever go on trips and wish you could leave your laptop home?	Choose

Wishfull thinking ..

Let us know of other candidates for the Nirvana Phone, and what you think is still missing.

Today I have received two new applications to play with; that's exactly what I did.

After installing and playing with both apps, I can say they do exactly what their respective developers advertised. Each can be very useful to deployments and day-to-day admin tasks.

Kudos to both developers. I hope you guys find these apps usefull, if not, let them know where and how they can improve.

I just came back from BriForum in Chicago and besides the awesome event that was, one more thing came to attention, half of the Notebooks being carried around by attendees and speakers were Macs.

If you are interested in running ICA client on Linux, I've created two short videos showing the step by step instructions. Unlike windows ICA client, installing Linux version of ICA client requires more steps although it is relatively straight forward after you watch the video I hope. I used Ubuntu Linux as an example. Other Linux distributions may work slightly differently.

Citrix PowerSmart Utility is created to help XenApp users conserve energy. To learn more about this project, please visit the project site.

To try out the utility however requires access to physical servers with certain capabilities, such as HP ILO2 support for example. I understand not everyone has easy access to these machines. To make it easier for people to understand the utility, I created a short demo video. The video shows how to configure this utility and see it in action.

If you have trouble viewing the embedded version above or see the notes below. Please click here to view the standard version.

I'd love to hear your feedbacks.  

Are you interested in running Autodesk products on Citrix XenApp (previously known as Presentation Server)? If you do, please read on.

Citrix and Autodesk have been working together to make sure our products can work well together. It's exciting to work in this project because both Autodesk and Citrix users can really benefit from such efforts.

AutoCAD Map3D 2009 is now Citrix-ready for XenApp. It is the first fruit of this effort. And if successful, you can expect more Autodesk products to become Citrix Ready. If you like the direction we are going, I'd appreciate your help by giving us feedbacks.

The joint site is at http://www.citrixandautodesk.com/. You can find useful information such as installation guide, FAQ, sales contact etc.
There are some post-installation changes you will need to make after installing Map 3D on XenApp. To make it easier, I wrote a script to automate such steps. The up to date script can be found here.

I created a short video demo of map 3D running on XenApp.

Click here to see all of my videos.

I'd love to hear from you about your experience running map 3D on XenApp including the script and what other Autodesk applications you would like to run on XenApp or other Citrix products. I will try my best to answer your questions.

       Update **

Running Windows applications on the iPhone may not be a high priority for Steve Jobs, but for many IT users and providers the desire seems to be increasing. The recent SDK and upcoming release of the Apple 3G iPhone has increased the interest in Citrix enabling iPhone access to XenApp hosted Windows applications. We are always encouraging expanded access to XenApp from any suitable device and the iPhone appears to be a very good candidate. The great screen and touch features would provide usable viewing of apps even though they were designed for bigger screens. Plus the improved email and networking capability of the device can now make it a real contender for business use. The iPhone could be even be the " Nirvana Phone " if a new docking station was offered to provide video access to a full sized monitor plus a standard keyboard.

So the question is one of priority and market demand, where does this fit on the list of nice to have vs. must have now, and does the solution need to come from Citrix or could it be partner provided such as the Rove Mobile client for BlackBerry. We encourage your opinions and feedback.

Do you need a Citrix client for the iPhone ?	Choose
I want it for myself
I need it for my company users ( and myself )
Cool, but my company is not likely to enable it

What is the primary iPhone use case at your company ?	Choose
EMR - Patient records, view and update.
CRM - Customer records, view and update.
ERP - Process workflows, approvals, etc.
Documents - Find, view, edit, forward.
Specific line of business app

** Update 11/1/08

Yes, we are listening, and yes we are going to ship a Citrix Receiver for the iPhone ! Mark Templeton demonstrated our latest internal build at our Summit event last week and our partners gave us the same enthusiastic response as we are seeing here on the Blogs. Right now the ship schedule is first half of '09 , but keep those votes and use cases coming and help us increase the priority further !
