Local VGA console is momentarily unblanked when XenDesktop changes resolution of the VM desktop Description When XenDesktop establishes a remote connection to a VM using vGPU, the VM’s local VGA console display in XenCenter is blanked (assuming the VM local console has not been disabled by setting platform:vgpu_extra_args="disable_vnc=1"). If the XenDesktop session changes resolution of the VM’s desktop, the local VGA console momentarily unblanks, allowing

Last week Citrix released their latest XenApp / XenDesktop 7.12 version, what includes many new features, with one in particular, the (re)introduction of the Local Host Cache functionality. The feature to keep your Citrix FMA environment available for new and existing sessions in case of a central site database outage, or even when all the Citrix databases are unavailable. For this particular operation advantage, you won’t need to have a SQL AlwaysOn cluster or mirroring setup anymore, but Citrix’s best practice will always stay to keep using these Microsoft SQL features for the larger – enterprise environments to keep all your Citrix databases high available and to continue all the processes.In the last year, Citrix released more versions that they did ever before, what proves that Citrix listens to their customers and is evolving more and more to stay the best in desktop end-user experience. This new feature, including the Windows Server 2016 day one support from previous version 7.11, and all the other new 7.12 features makes me curious enough to dive into the XenApp installation process again, what resulted in this blog article.In the first part I will highlight all the new, most important, Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.12 features, afterwards I will tell in a step-by-step installation guide, how you install and configure a Citrix XenApp 7.12 Desktop Delivery server, the configuration of a Windows Server 2016 master server based on the MCS imaging strategy, the StoreFront configuration part, the setup of a HDX Citrix Policy and as final,

Over the last several years I’ve written a number of PowerShell scripts, ranging in complexity from one-liners to very complex multi-function modular packages for distribution (See the Citrix Chained Reboot Scripts for XenApp and XenDesktop for an example of one of my more complex scripts). As I’ve discovered, scripting in PowerShell is an adaptive process, easily allowing you to take bits and pieces from a previous script to feed into the next. Well, that’s just what I’ve done with this SCVMM/Hyper-V script to create Full VM Clones for Citrix XenDesktop or Microsoft VDI. See below for a demo of the finished product:In many cases, you may not want to use chained base image / linked cloning technologies. For example, if you’re planning to provide disaster recovery capabilities for your users full thick clones, this becomes increasingly difficult (or impossible) when you’re talking about linking differencing disks back to a master or base disk. This is also one of the challenges with the RingCube acquisition (Personal vDisk) and can become a barrier to adoption. Another scenario is when you’re using specific vendor’s storage optimization, like Atlantis ILIO or Nutanix and deduplication occurs either in-line or as a back-end process. In these scenarios, it makes more sense to have full clone persistent desktops for the operational simplicity. Unfortunately both Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft VDI lack the ability to create full clones for persistent, both of which employ a vhdx chaining mechanism for Hyper-V.Without further introduction, let’s actually dive into how to create
