    Session reliability suspended the connection for user domain\user, session 5. source rpm

    in XenDesktop 7.x

    Posted

    Hi,

    Same issue with Virtual Apps 1912 on server 2016, but only with Igel Thin Clients. Remote connections through Gateway and direct connections are not affected.

    Updated from XenApp7.15.

    This issue seems to be related to VDA 1912.

    Before I’ve updated the site, I’ve updated only VDA to 1912 and used it with the 7.15 site and had the same problem.

    Disable Session Reliability doesn‘t help.

    Now I‘m testing VDA 1906.2. So far I‘m able to say the rpm events are not logged anymore. I‘m waiting for user‘s feedback.

     

    found others with similar issues, but with VDA 1811 and 1906.

    any ideas?

     

    Chrome 79 no audio

    in XenApp 7.x

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    same problem here. Starting with version 79 Chrome runs audio in a sandbox, which is not working on Citrix Virtual Apps.

    You need to set this gpo setting to disabled:

    Google/Google Chrome/Allow the audio sandbox to run -> Disabled

    or in registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome

    reg:dword AudioSandboxEnabled = 0

     

    found it here:

    Citrix Virtual Desktop Wizard adds wrong network adapter

    in XenDesktop 7.x

    Posted

    I've created my first 15 virtual desktop os vm's on esxi with the Citrix Virtual Desktop Wizard in pvs. It adds the wrong portgroup. My hosting is configured, let's say, for vlan 10. The wizard adds the network adapter for vlan 12. 

    Has anybody any idea why this happens?

     

    My user, which executes the wizard has permissions to add network adapters.

    Citrix Workspace App 1811 and higher content redirection client-to-server not working file not found

    in Receiver for Windows 4.x

    Posted

    content redirection (fta) for office is not working correctly on windows 10 and windows 7.

    Example: docx file started in local windows explorer opens Word on Citrix but it cannot open the file and shows a new empty document (document 1.docx).

    Excel comes up with error 'file not found'. Powerpoint with a really long error message which tells me to check antivirus program.

     

    This issue exists:

    - with Citrix Workspace App 1811 and higher

    - not with Citrix Workspace 1810 and lower and Citrix Receiver 4.x

    - on a new set up windows 10 with no ms patches

    - with a user who has no gpo's applied

    - no matter which user is logged on

    - with regkey nativedrivemapping (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Configuration\Advanced\Modules\ClientDrive) set to True on windows 10 pc.

    - with XenApp 7.15 CU1 2008R2 site and XenApp 7.15 CU1 2016 site

     

    A few files work and others don't. Always the same files work and the same don't. 

    If I copy a file which doesn't work the copy works.

    If I create a new docx it's not working.

    no matter if doc, docx, dotx, xls, xlsx...

    if you log in to a client and open a file which normally doesn't open correctly it opens correctly. If you close the file and reopen it within the same session it's not working anymore, also in a new Citrix session. You need to log out and log in again at the client.

     

    It works with Citrix Receiver 4.11 up to Workspace App 1810.

     

    Same issue with Citrix Virtual Apps 1903 and Citrix Workspace App 1811 and higher.

     

    It's definitely related to a change in Workspace App 1811.

     

    content redirection file type association office file not found

    in XenApp 7.x

    Posted

    Tested it in an other server 2016 XenApp 7.15 CU1 site with Workspace App 1903 in another domain with another Windows 10 client. Same issue there. It has to be a new feature or similar which came in place with Citrix Workspace App 1811.

     

    1811 changed client drive mapping. Because of that I've set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Currentcontrolset\services\picadm\Parameters Name: DisableFullStreamWrite DWORD to 1 and rebooted my test VDA. That wasn't the reason for the problem.

    Replaced vdcdm30n.dll from 1811 with the one from 1810. Not helping. Compared the HKLM\Software\WoW6432Node\Citrix Keys from 1810 and 1811. In 1811 the key LegacyFTAIcons changed to True, while it was empty in 1810. Changed it to empty in 1811 and restartet Workspace App. Same issue.

    Move database Citrix XenApp 7.15 to new database server mirroring

    in XenApp 7.x

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I'm planning to move my now mirrored sql database fma, log, mon to a new mirrored sql database. That's documented badly. I've found this: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/advanced-concepts/implementation-guides/database-connection-strings.html and downloaded the scripts.

    But:

    - Do I need to export sql database from old db-server and import it on new sql server? Or do I need to create a new empty database?

    - If import: Do I need to import it on both db-servers or just one, create the connection strings and create the mirror afterwards? Or do I need to create the mirror and set the connection strings afterwards?

    - The scripts provided are ok and the description as well, but, which one do I need to run in which order? 

     

    I'm confused.

     

    Thank you for your help!

    PVS Logon Process slow

    in Provisioning Server for Datacenters

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    2 PVS servers W2K16, 64 GB RAM, 4 vCPU

    130 target devices (2008R2 & 2016)

    boot with DHCP options 66 & 67

     

    Steps ip acquisition and bootstrap download are fast. After that the Windows logo is displayed for a long time and after that it jumps back to a black screen where it displays the pvs version, server and client ip and then OS boots.

    Windows logo is displayed for around 1:26 min.

    black screen with information for around 4 sec.

    Virtual Disk Status boot time: 29 sec.

     

    configured:

    Threads per port: 4

    Streaming ports: 6910 - 6947

    Everything else set to default

     

    Write Cache RAM with overflow

    PVS vDisk Store on PVS local SSD Netapp disk

     

    Interrupt safe mode is disabled.

    PVS and targets are VMs on esx 6.5.

     

    What could be the culprit here? How can I analyze this?

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

    Bind Advanced Authentication Policy to NetScaler Gateway Virtual Servers

    in NetScaler Gateway

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    beginning with Netscaler 12.0 build higher 56.20 some classic expressions and policies are deprecated. In 56.20 I use a basic authentication policy for radius (ns_true) which is bound to the Netscaler gateway virtual server. With newer versions this policy is unbound and I can't bind it because it's deprecated. I've created an advanced authentication radius policy (expression TRUE) but I can't find any option to bind this advanced policy to my virtual Netscaler gateway server (only advanced authentication saml is possible).

    How am I able to bind an advanced radius authentication policy to a virtual gateway server?

    Do I need to configure radius otherwise now?
