Introduction This article was created as a very quick reference between the Amazon’s AWS EC2 and Microsoft’s Azure. There was little in the way of scientific tests carried out, it is purely a list of observations during the testing so these results below are personal opinion / experience only. You should carry out your own […]
Hi Everyone, I have moved my blog to a privately hosted wordpress environment to cater for increased traffic and more consultants. Hope you still get these updates etc! Apologies for any inconvenience! New Site is: http://3.9.218.163 Cheers James Scanlon
Here is a non exhaustive list of things recently discovered during a PoC of Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 with Nvidia GPU Passthrough from XenServer 6.2 SP1 (i.e Citrix HDX 3D Pro) for the Oil and Gas Industry The alternative (rather long) heading for this article should probably be “how to deliver 3d graphic intensive Oil and […]
Ive seen this error a number of times: Misconfiguration of storefront server itself The server has just rebooted and IIS is still starting up A firewall preventing the storefront server(s) getting back to the SNIP of the Netscaler(s) and now today… Today I added a new Delivery controller in Storefront 2.5 so I could publish […]

I wanted to document the AppV5 File Type Associations and how they work when published down to an end user device or server. If publishing globally the FTAs will apply to every user of the machine If publishing to a group of users (and not globally) the FTA’s will only work for those group members. […]
Situation: We upgraded to 10.5 for our Citrix Netscalers and quickly realised that password changing was broken. Further to this, the end users were simply getting the ambigious ‘Incorrect user name or password’ during change (the password change screen would come up and allow them to enter their new password but then simply quit out, […]
Scenario: Our AppV Applications on Citrix are published globally to the citrix servers computer accounts so the apps are available before the users login. These applications all launch and integrate with AppV either directly calling the AppV exe or by using the /appvve or switch on a hosted Citrix desktop. When the same AppV application […]
Recently we applied a bunch of MS hotfixes to our Citrix 6.5 server (delivered from PVS 7.1) and broke the Citrix IMA entirely. Sigh. My usual employed fixes are typically run (from an elevated cmd prompt) a ‘dsmaint recreatelhc’, ‘dsmaint recreaterade’, then reinstall the last Rollup Hotfix Pack (today for me it was RO4!) If […]
