XenApp 6 and UnderStanding how policies Are applied
I'm settings up a new XenAPP 6 farm and have the following. I have created a new OU and placed all of my new XenAPP server in the OU which is then assigned to a WorkerGroup. This ou only contain the XenAPP server and no user accounts.
My user account resides in another ou. Here is my question. When I log into XenAPP using the Windows Reciver 3.0 on my workstation are Group Polices applied to my account that I logged into the Windows Receiver 3.0 with? Even though my user account is not in the same OU as my Citrix server will any of the GP applied to this OU which are enforced be applied.
I trying to figure out the best way to deploy customer hotkey settings for the PNAgent and Web Interface.

IN a nutshell if I use loopback processing and my servers and users are inseperate OU I can have user specific settings take effect on a user that is not part of the same OU as the servers?
Very Confusing

Loopback can definitely be confusing, see this writeup Darren (GP MVP) did on loopback

I have such unique keybord mappings that I may end up. pushing out a custom appsrv.ini file.
ASKER
What is the best way to push out custom setting in the appsrv.ini to workstation that are both 32 & 64 bit :-(
Where are you placing the custom appsrv.ini?
ASKER
Well the default directory for the appsrv.ini is C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client or C:\Program Files(x86)\Citrix\ICA Client
On my Windows 7 x64 system, my appsrv.ini is in:
C:\Users\cwebster\AppData\
You could use the UserProfile environment variable.
C:\Users\cwebster\AppData\
You could use the UserProfile environment variable.
There are these two env variables:
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Progr
I would think on a 32-bit computer, the ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Progr
Use a logon script to copy the appsrv.ini file to the right place.
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Progr
I would think on a 32-bit computer, the ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Progr
Use a logon script to copy the appsrv.ini file to the right place.
When configuring the GPO are you configring it under user settings or computer settings?
ASKER
How do I know which APPSV.ini location to edit?
ASKER
How do I update my 5.4 web interface to have the hotkey settings as well
If ProgramFiles(x86) env var exists, you are on a 64-bit system.
ASKER
I have both 32 and 64 workstation in my enviroment
Check for the existance of appsrv.ini in both locations and replace the one that exists with your updated copy.

Policies are applied in this order:
Microsoft local policies
Citrix IMA local policies
Site GPOs
Domain GPOs
OU GPOs
Precedence is in reverse order:
OU GPOs have precedence over Domain GPOs which have precedence over Site GPOs which have precedence over Citrix IMA policies which have precedence over Microsoft local policies.
