Since early February multiple posts on Citrix and Microsoft forums report freezes in MS Teams when managing contacts. I myself ran into this issue as well and logged a call with Microsoft, assuming it was an issue with MS Teams.

Read moreCitrix Studio: A machine is not registered, but should be
After a failed upgrade from Citrix VCAD 7.15.3000 to 1912, uninstalling 7.15 and reinstalling 1912, a VDA was rendered useless. I couldn’t start the published desktop or finance applications. It was the only VDA in a Machine Catalog (provisioning manual), showed as registered and added to a dedicated Delivery Group. The Delivery Group showed one registered machine and one missing registration (which is odd with only one VDA in the Machine Catalog).

I configured a Citrix Storefront 2.6 site for a customer and had to make some modifications in the web.config file. I ran into this little nifty tool which has a great GUI interface into the web.config. The tool offers a GUI to ease configuration of the StoreFront 1.2/2.0/2.1/2.5/2.6 “Receiver for Web”. Read more
Netscaler 10.5 Services down with IIS hosted website with no default document
A customer wanted to publish an internal hosted IIS 7.0 website to the outside world through a Netscaler 10.5. I configured the server, services and Virtual Server objects in the Netscaler interface.
So far so good. The IIS server still had to be configured with the website, so till that time the default website showed with no problems. Untill the the supplier of the website installed the website. From that moment on the services object state on the Netscaler went down.
How to keep your printer drivers in sync at your Xenapp 6.x farm
Although there are a number of methods and tools to maintain print-driver replication amongst Xenapp servers, the main objective is to keep your drivers in sync with your print-server. Setting up a Xenapp farm means that users don’t have the right to add print-drivers. And so even when the most piddling DLL deviates from your print server your users are presented with malignant looking windows demanding all sorts of admin stuff. Can your hear the phone ringing at the service desk…?
Read moreHigh CPU and Disk I/O when mapping Session Printers on W2K8R2 RDS
A client experienced Intermittent High CPU and Increased Disk I/O with SPOOLSV.EXE When Mapping TS User Session Printers on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Provisioned on Citrix Xenserver 6.0.2). A large amount of printers where mapped for each new user session. During the most logon extensive period in the morning the whole environment came to a grinding halt. After thorough investigation we noticed that with each client session starting heavy disk I/O was noticeable in the %system32%\spool\driver\3 folder. One could see the creation of a {GUID}-folder for each printer created during a session logon. The folder disappeared straightaway after the printer was mapped. Read more

Citrix HDX Mediastream Blacklisting
There are certain situations in which HDX MediaStream for Flash fails for certain Website URLs. This happens as a result of certain web pages that have been designed to work in a way that is not compatible with the HDX architecture. These failures cannot be detected, so HDX has been designed to create and use a Dynamic Blacklist to remember Websites that provoke these failures. In these situations, the HDX feature falls back to server-side Flash rendering for the current browser tab that provoked the failure. Additionally, it uses server-side rendering for all future browser tabs that navigate to the failing URL Website.
