Legacy Client Drive Mapping Citrix CTX127968: Citrix Client Drive Mapping no longer uses drive letters and instead they appear as local disks. This is similar to RDP drive mapping.

The old drive letter method can be enabled by setting the registry value: • Key = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Citrix UncLinks (create the key) • Value = UNCEnabled (DWORD) = 0 When you reconnect, the client drives will be mapped as drive letters (starts with V: and goes backwards). Print Driver for Non-Windows Clients This section applies to Windows 8.1/2012 and newer VDAs. From CTX139020.

By default, Non-Windows clients cannot map printers due to a missing print driver on the VDA machine. • Requirements: • Internet Access • Windows Update service enabled • Click Start, and run Devices and Printers. • In Windows 10 1703, open Printers & scanners, then scroll down, and click Devices and printers. • In the Printers section, highlight a local printer (e.g.

Microsoft XPS Document Writer). Then in the toolbar, click Print server properties. • Switch to the Drivers tab. Click Change Driver Settings. • Then click Add.

• In the Welcome to the Add Printer Driver Wizard page, click Next. • In the Processor Selection page, click Next. • In the Printer Driver Selection page, click Windows Update. The driver we need won’t be in the list until you click this button.

Internet access is required. • Once Windows Update is complete, highlight HP on the left, and then select HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS (Microsoft) on the right. • In the Completing the Add Printer Driver Wizard page, click Finish.

• Repeat these instructions to install the following additional drivers: • HP LaserJet Series II • HP Color LaserJet 4500 PCL 5 SSL for VDA If you intend to use HTML5 Receiver internally, install certificates on the VDAs so the WebSockets (and ICA) connection will be encrypted. Internal HTML5 Receivers will not accept clear text WebSockets. External users don’t have this problem since they are SSL-proxied through NetScaler Gateway. Notes: • Each Virtual Delivery Agent needs a machine certificate that matches the machine name. This is feasible for a small number of persistent VDAs. For non-persistent VDAs, you’ll need some automatic means for creating machine certificates every time they reboot.

• As detailed in the following procedure, use PowerShell on the Controller to enable SSL for the Delivery Group. This forces SSL for every VDA in the Delivery Group, which means every VDA in the Delivery Group must have SSL certificates installed. The following instructions for manually enabling SSL on VDA can be found at at Citrix Docs. • On the VDA machine, run mmc.exe. • Add the Certificates snap-in. • Point it to Local Computer. • Request a certificate from your internal Certificate Authority.

You can use either the Computer template or the Web Server template. • You can also use group policy to enable Certificate Auto-Enrollment for the VDA computers. • Browse to the XenApp/XenDesktop 7.15.1000 LTSR ISO. In the Support Tools SslSupport folder, shift+right-click the Enable-VdaSSL.ps1 script, and click Copy as path. • Run PowerShell as administrator (elevated). • Run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted.

Enter Y to approve. • In the PowerShell prompt, type in an ampersand ( &), and a space. • Right-click the PowerShell prompt to paste in the path copied earlier. • At the end of the path, type in -Enable • If there’s only one certificate on this machine, press Enter. • If there are multiple certificates, you’ll need to specify the thumbprint of the certificate you want to use. Open the Certificates snap-in, open the properties of the machine certificate you want to use, and copy the Thumbprint from the Details tab. Example: Consider the resolution of monitor 1 is 1920*1200 and monitor 2 is 1366*768. Then SumOfAllMons will be (1920*1200 + 1366*768) • CTX115637 describes how multi-monitor resolution is determined.

The asterisk * here has a special meaning “all apps” but is not a traditional wildcard.

To blacklist multiple apps e.g. Both appa.exe and appb.exe must be done by creating a registry value for each app individually. This is most problematic in Remote PC since most physical PCs have GPUs. I recently had to blacklist Internet Explorer to prevent lockup issues when switching back to physical. Uninstall VDA Uninstall the VDA from Programs and Features.

Then see CTX209255. To run the VDA Cleanup Tool silently: • Execute VDACleanupUtility.exe /silent /noreboot to suppress reboot. • Once the VDACleanupUtility has finished executing, setup Auto logon for the current user. • After reboot, tool will launch automatically to continue Cleanup. Another option is to delete CitrixVdaCleanup value under HKLM Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion RunOnce. Then after reboot, run VDACleanupUtility.exe /silent /reboot to indicate that it’s running after the reboot.

Related Pages • • • Posted on Author Categories. Have you tested 7.15 VDA with VMWare tools 10.x on server 2016 delivering seamless/published apps? I have really strange mouse behaviors. Some apps displaying multiple mousepointers (like this, but changing policy should not be a solution since disabled is default if policy is untouched) Builtin apps, such as paint only shows one pointer but it behaves very strange in non input areas (like in menus and under the “paper” sheet). Moving the mouse to the right it dissapears behind published app edges (server rendered) when policy set to disabled, and is very choppy if policy is untouched.) I can set the legacy graphics policy to rid the double mouse pointers but its very ambigous that that even should e a solution, since default is disabled. That policy should not be necessary to set. Tried vanilla setup of 2016 and problem is there.

Testing with xenserver its problem free, behaves as expected. Tried server 2012R2 with same VMware hypervisor/tools and it works as expected. Suspecting bug in VDA integration with VMWare tools, I have a Citrix tech support case but I’m not progressing with them ATM since they are resilent to do reproduction tests with VMWare. “Windows 10 1709 Targeted will only be partially supported by VDA 7.16, and full support for Windows 10 1709 Broad probably with VDA 7.17. I would not expect VDA 7.15 to ever support Windows 10 1709 or newer.” I am the Product Manager in Citrix for the VDA MetaInstaller. I want to convey that WE WILL support 1709 with 7.15. The Microsoft patches required for this will come out in 2 dates: -Nov 14th (Patch Tuesday KB4051314) will allow you to upgrade from 1703 and older with a VDA already installed, to 1709.

-’11D’ patch (last week of November via Microsoft Update Catalogue) will allow you to do a fresh new VDA install on top of 1709. We have a live article about all this: CTX229052. This helps me: Quote To manage printers, Microsoft has developed several VBS scripts that allow to manage printers and print queues, install and uninstall printer drivers, etc.

Memory handling difference between VDA 7.6 LTSR and 7.15 LTSR? Hi Carl, thanks again for your huge participation to make CitrixLand a better place to live in 😉 I’m using XD 7.6 LTSR on ESXi 5.5 with PVS 7. C Programming Torrent on this page. 6.

For the moment, 90% of the infra are Windows 7 pooled machines (vmxnet3 vnics, 1 vlan for prod, 1 vlan for PVS) With VDA 7.6, I noticed that immediately after the logon occured, the memory (3 GB in total, 1 GB reserved at hypervisor level) shows almost 0 of free memory. Using RAMMAP shows 1.5 GB in the standby column for Mapped File. Launching local applications takes more time, and some may even look unresponsive. Once started at least one time, the application (or at least a big part of it) stays in the cached zone. Nothing weird here, my physical machine seems to be configured this way.

With VDA 7.15, things are different. After logon, 800 megs are free. Launching local applications is quicker. Once the application is closed, it does not stay in the cached zone, the 800 megs of free memory are quickly available again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, it’s perfect for me but I’ve always liked to understand the “magic tricks” I did this comparison with 2 identically configured VMs. Vmware tools is up to date on both machines.

Except the VDA, the only difference is – VDI1: vdisk is base 0 (vhd) + 7 versions (avhd) – VDI2: vdisk is a merge base of 0 to 7 I know it’s best practice not to have more than 5 avhd and overall startup duration of the machine should be better with the single vhd but I don’t see any relationship with the way Windows handles the memory. If the new VDA makes such wonders, Citrix should spread the news 😉 Your lights are welcome. Kind regards Yvan.

Hi Martin, As described in my comment, OS is Windows 7, memory usage is just after logon (measures given by Task manager, Performance tab). No change in the default Citrix policies, section Graphics (ie Legacy mode is disabled, should it be enabled?). In the VM settings, video memory is 8 megs (according to what the users have, 2 monitors in 1920×1200 resolution, 32 bits color depth, it should be 35 megs but I’ve never really understood the real gain) Anyway, all the above apply to the 2 VMs, the only difference is the VDA version.
