Still pretty much the simplest… dedicated external store for storefront with tags and filters - rock solid
-
You might want to consider using the ListOfDDCs registry key as an alternative approach, along with the “controller auto update” Citrix policy being set to disabled
-
You don’t need the powershell stuff these days, just define your locations in Citrix cloud under “network locations” and off you go

No worries Warren, you are welcome. As a note also on the above, depending on your CVAD version, it’s likely that the broker will physically reject the registration of a VDA with or without power management, Citrix got pretty gangster with the lockdown on public cloud workloads
Kind of thin on the ground over here with Citrix reps these days, if you need a hand getting in touch with the right folks, DM me and I’ll try and help

Hi Warren,
my understanding is that hybrid rights are now replaced with universal, though not being involved in licence sales I may be off the mark
good write up here on what the new state of play is https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2023/03/02/introducing-citrix-universal-licensing/
pretty much if your licencing doesn’t have either hybrid rights or isn’t of universal sku, you won’t be able to have a hosting connection into a public cloud provider of any type
hope this helps a little

This is a confirmed big. If you log a ticket and post the number here, I’ll get it in front of the right folks for a fix

Out of curiosity, have you tried a basic reboot of the Cloud Connectors? I've seen similar things resolved with a kick
Secondly, are you routing via the CC to get to the sessions, or using rendezvous protocol which will take a different path
Lastly, there isn't anything like zScaler in the mix is there?
-
Most customers will have a link between their DC and their VPC. If not, there is a good chance they would have a jump host and let you jump from it across to your gold images
-
OK so feedback from the team is that
a) if you add the process to the exclusion list in Spikes protection, it won't be touched when WEM deals with contention scenarios and
b) if you add it to the CPU priority list, it should be raised accordingly (so your config should be raising it)
If it's not doing that, it's likely worth a ticket in

You could use MCS to full clone the desktops, and then migrate them to a manual catalog easily enough

We are using BIS-F on the non-persistent servers which is running RefreshCache when the machine starts up too.
By default BIS-F removes the cache when you seal the image, any chance the problem users were landing on a rebooted VM that might not have had any form of cache?
-
That will help you get them into a manual catalog within the same site, and then you can use something similar to this to get them to a new site
https://github.com/JamesKindon/Citrix/blob/master/Migration Scripts/MigrateDedicatedMachines.ps1 <- you would need to adapt this for on prem, I only had it sorted for Citrix Cloud a while back, wouldn't take much to alter

That config is fine, sounds like you might be hitting a weird bug - have pinged to get some more eyes but will be a few days delayed
-
Ah interesting on the upgrade, that will no doubt hit others. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks James, worked a treat ?
Pleasure mate, glad it's up and working ?

1) You don't have an issue that needs resolving, you are asking for the bare fundamentals on the product which you can easily find details on at: https://docs.citrix.com/. I clearly stated the technical answer to your question above.
2) I did not tell you to go to support, that is rubbish. I mentioned that your environment sounds very small, and you will likely struggle to even get the Citrix technology set, and as such you would need to go through a CSP. That is not "go to support". That is "can you even get the technology?".
3) Like everyone else here, I am a volunteer lending knowledge and experience where it helps. Responses like yours get you absolutely nowhere with anyone giving up their time in an attempt to assist.

Why receive any actual useful information. Thanks...
Intriguing response - not quite sure what you are unhappy about here
-
No I read it the same way, I’d just always worked on the logic that wem doesn’t do anything until there is a problem (contention)
I could well be out of date, I’ve asked the team behind the scenes but they are off for a few days so might be a bit delayed
-
Is the sql server available for other stuff? Sure, that’s up to you, Citrix doesn’t require dedicated SQL
-
You don’t have to use Citrix provisioning to deploy workloads - you can have the VDA components installed and pointing to brokers to allow session brokering (replacing RDP)
You are going to need a supporting infrastructure to allow this to happen, and if you are new customer, and small, you are going to have to go through a CSP to get access to Citrix Tech.

Win11 multi-session is not AVD. AVD is it’s own DaaS solution https://jkindon.com/citrix-cloud-and-avd-fluff/
Sort of sounds like maybe your policies aren’t landing if printers are failing too? Can you see the evidence in the registry of your policy settings turning up?
-
Are you actually in a scenario where you are facing contention?
My understanding is that these priorities only kick in if there is a contention scenario.
I’d also be surprised if that process wasn’t in the default wem exclusion list for processing - it’s not documented as such, but I’d imagine it should be
-
Yeah that doesn’t sound right at all. That service should be self regulating these days, it had challenges way back when it was only used for CEM stuff
Can you post your settings for your offline processing here? (Enable offline mode etc)
will see if we can get some eyes from those in the know on this post

The 2 versions logic was more a rule of thumb to the best of my knowledge
You should avoid upgrading the agent and prefer a remove and fresh install in my experience
If you need to upgrade, and can’t yet do the agents, I’d be making sure that your cache sync is healthy and not throwing warnings on the endpoints. If it is, then you may need to delete it on machine startup and get a new one. It’s the schema changes on the broker side which can cause challenges with the current endpoint - most of the time you’ll be fine

New-Item: Attempts to perform operation failed. The license in use by the hosting connection is invalid.

Hrmmm nice work- that article has this one nested which explains a few bits (hadn’t see this before) https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX270373/public-cloud-support-with-current-releases-and-long-term-service-releases
I wonder if the support person was hung up on 1912 LTSR which we had to guide customers towards when cloud hosting was removed from CR releases - they took it out in cvad 2009 or 2006 I can’t recall which one
That aws article needs to be updated, I’ll ping it over and see if it can be fixed up.
nobody is a nobody, thanks for sharing the above
