Problem: Was trying to upload a custom wordpress theme from themeforest.net and during the upload the theme uploader was crashing out prompting with ‘Are you sure you wan to do this? Please try again.’ Solution: Easy one really, ensure you are uploading the WordPress theme only and no other (the zip file will typically be […]
Problem: We wanted to Autoformat Citrix PVS Write Cache Drive of the PVS D drive (writecache) for things like Citrix logs, edgesight database. Otherwise the servers boot up first time and complain they cant create or access the pagefile. Want the D Drive labelled with Server name so if ever they are moved or detached – […]
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 […]
YES! We had an application that was old and a number of its ‘working files’ referenced c:\program files\PROGRAM, but the new version of the app was c:\program files (x86)\PROGRAM This was embedded in many of the older files that referred to this path directly During the APP-V sequencing a junction point was created with mklink […]
Problem: We had hidden the Libraries and Network links in the explorer bar on our Citrix XenAPp 6.5 servers, but for some reason they continued to appear inside Office and some other applications. Turns out the common element was 32bit apps were all still able to see libraries and Network locations etc particularly when saving […]
Scenario: We had errors with the App-V publishing service on one of our AppV 5 infrastructure servers. Hotfix KB2940354 had already been installed. But during the remove of the APp-V 5.0 SP1 client, the hotfixes are not removed, nor can they be uninstalled. Error: The Application Virtualization setup has failed because a more recent version […]
This issue absolutely did my head in. I had to publish it for you all to save you the time if you ever come across it as I was close to QUITTING because I couldn’t get this to work. Scenario: Windows 2008 R2, Citrix XenApp 6.5 and Microsoft AppV 5 SP2. Applications published globally to […]
