Citrix and Skype for business

Hi tony

We have 7.12

Do you think it is not a problem to use 2.6
On server side and client said even if we have 7.12

Plus I heard the version of agent on the workers will play role

So in my case we have the agents which came with 7.12 media  so I hope agent has nothing to do with real time connecter so I can use the latest what do you think

Please advise me

I see no issue with using the versions that shipped with your product. If nothing else, it guarantees supportability should you need to contact Citrix.

Once you have it all running, you can look at upgrading the components if you felt the need to.

hi tony

i installed the connector on citrix xenapp image and the client software on client

but when i start skype for business on citrix i don't see the icon of hdx connector in start menu

as if nothing happing

any idea here

do i have to do anything els to make it work

like something in policy

No it should just work.

Which version of receiver do you have on the client your connecting to Citrix from?

Did you install the RTME on the client?

Does add/remove programs on the XenApp server show the RTC?

This is the Server add/remove programs I have


This is my Windows 10 client:

this in my case

That is interesting.

And when you sign into Citrix, you don't see the "bow tie" icon in the Citrix task bar?

this is exactly my problem i dont see this icon on the bar

i will try to figure out why

if you have an idea pls let me know

thanks again

From the original article I linked to:

No bow-tie shown, either RTC isn't installed in the VDA or adequate Microsoft Skype for Business PU's are not installed on the VDA.

What is the Skype for Business client version installed onto the VDA?

mm i will check and get back to you later

thanks a lot

Although looking through the RTME download pages, there's actually no reference to a required Skype PU until it gets to the latest RTME v2.6

That said, here we run Skype for Business Client version 16.0.10325.20082 32-bit and the RTC/RTME 2.4.100 and it works well

So I wonder if it's worth you installing the 2.4.100 versions - I cannot find anything to suggest the 2.1.200 versions won't work but it possibly won't hurt at this stage to upgrade.

Edit: Our version of SfB is the July 2018 update: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/monthly-channel-2018#version-1807-july-25

Combined, these are working well together, to give you some ideas of versioning :)

Further edit: The Skype PU's are here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3123065/how-to-obtain-the-latest-update-for-skype-for-business-2016

That MS link takes you to the same place in my last post :)

I am struggling to find a SfB version that matches that. In all of the releases, they jump from Version 1509 (Build 4229.1029) to Version 1509 (Build 6001.1034)

So either it's just a patch or the version you have dates back to 2015.

Right now, I think you are best off to upgrade the RTC and RTME components AND Skype for Business to the latest PU.

That way, you can get your components all to known working and supported versions.

Just an aside, 7.12 is no longer supported. Citrix Support will not talk to you until you upgrade to at least 7.15.

I know that 7.12 not supported

I will upgrade to 7.15 LTRS

Anyway Citrix Support in many cases useless

I call it Citrix (non)Support

HI Tony Johncock

sorry but i need your help

after i installed  the connector on server and the RTME on the client it work

but now i have problem when 3 or 4 users try to have conference calls only two camera appear then from time to time it switch between the uses camera in the conference

i don't know i i can change these sitings or i have to change some registry key etc

kindly advice

Good afternoon.

That sounds like normal behaviour within SfB - it highlights the person speaking and will give them focus.

What you may need to do is change the view to content view - it's one of the icons in the top right of the video screen. See below :)
