Formatting the output of an OData Query

I have an OData query to get a historical list of HDX sessions (username, start/end times, protocol, Delivery Group) from Director. What's the easiest way to extract the data from the XML and produce a simple table of the fields above? I tried using Chrome's Advanced REST Client, but while the XML response came back fine, the client couldn't parse it successfully.
The actual query:

http://ddc.company.com/Citrix/Monitor/OData/v3/Data/Sessions?$filter = StartDate ge datetime'2018-12-02T15:14:49' and StartDate le datetime'2018-12-03T03:14:49' and CurrentConnection/Protocol eq 'HDX'&$select = StartDate,EndDate,CurrentConnection/Protocol,Machine/DesktopGroup/Name,User/UserName,User/FullName&$expand = CurrentConnection,Machine/DesktopGroup,User

We have Citrix Xenapp 7.15 update 1.

We have two delivery controllers. we noticed when we restart one of the two, we run into issue launching apps for about 5 minutes or so. We noticed when we look at studio, it shows that VDAs are readjusting to point to the "up" delivery controller. This could take up to 5 minutes, during that time, logging in is temporarily on hold, and so is launching applications.

Any idea why that happens and how we can reduce that time before we restart a DC?

I am running into this issue on a Xenserver 6.5 Installation. I'm looking for an expert who can help recover the disks or guide one of our IT guys on a way to investigate it more thoroughly.

Our Xenserver installation is running into the following error:

The problem is when the virtual machine boots it shows this error in console:

« Processor 1: Xen® Virtual CPU

XS Virtual IDE Controller Hard Drive (0MB)
XS Virtual ATAPI-4 CD-Rom/DVD-Rom

iPXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:04.0 C900 PCI2.10 PMM+00100010+00111020 C900

Press F12 for boot menu.

Boot devide: Hard Disk - failure: could not read boot disk

No bootable device.
Powering off in 30 seconds »

Additionally XenCenter storage tab reports the size correctly but shows occupied space is much larger than it should be. We moved all the remaining working VMS off the machine, and it's still showing the same occupied space size. Path also does not show up correctly.

I need someone who can diagnose and correct the issue of VDI not available, VDI failed to load immediately. Someone who we had working on this says that the "identity has been lost"

This is really far beyond my expertise and am hoping that there is some sort of way of saving these VM's

Shows that 99% of the drive is used. Other image will show that the VMS are no where near that size including the snapshots.

We have about 50 Dell Wyse 3040 Thin Clients and we have just installed the Wyse Management Suite to try to get a handle on what we have and also be able to standardize the versions with more ease. It looks like a great piece of software. I am used to 10Zig management where it will do a search on our network for all its devices so we can add them to the interface however I don't seem to be able to find anything in the software or the manual that offers such an option with the Wyse Management Suite.

Is there anyone familiar with loading currently running devices into a new install of the WMS? I don't see anything such as an import either except for importing from another software package.
Thanks in advance.

Good day. A few days ago we migrated out Citrix Xenapp 7.16 databases from SQL 2008R2 to SQL2017 using the script in the following article: https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/383898-migrate-xenapp-76-database-from-sql-2008r2-to-sql-server-2014/
I am not sure if it is related but i am now getting the following error when trying to open Studio: A working 'Trust' service could not be found.
Anyone had this before? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Citrix UPM Corrupted Chrome extension

Been a couple years since we set up Citrix and roaming profiles, and I'm not an expert! Started using a Chrome extension on Xenapp server that is getting corrupted for users. Saw https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX238525 that says to add it to Folders to mirror.

Just want to make sure I'm doing this right in Citrix studio policies.

Enable folders to mirror

add:

AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

See attached, is this correct?

Thank you!

Changing External IP Address for Citrix XenApp

The company I work for just recently switches ISP's and for now I'm running both parallel until the end of this month. We are currently using Citrix for our employees in are other branch offices to access certain applications. They all use the Citrix Receiver to log in.

My question here is how do I go about changing the external IP address for the XenApp? Right now on are firewall we have the 1:1 NAT configured and when I changed that external address to one of the spare IP's provided by the new ISP and then try to connect to our Citrix server it cannot connect to the Citrix Store. When I launch the Citrix Web interface and open the secure access it is set to Gateway Direct and IP address is set to Default. The only IP that I see is the internal one. I cannot for the life of me see where I can change the external address for the website. The FQDN is set to citrix.energyservicesinc.com.

The web interface version we are running right now is version 5.4.0.59 and XenApp 6.5. I read on that you can change the external IP by entering altaddr /set command, but when I try this using command prompt it say's it's not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I know I'm missing something here, but cannot seem to figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you need more information let me know.

Thanks

Citrix profile management issue

hi citrix experts

We have in our environment Citrix users profile problem. we have XenApp 7.12

We are using Citrix user profiles and we do this via delivery controller policy

We do folder redirection for (( desktop – my documents – download – APP data – contact – links – pictures – start menus – etc ))

But recently our user profiles getting bigger so much and I found the biggest directory

AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox

I found online this links which shoes which paths I have to include

https://www.smali.net/citrix-profile-management/

here the configuration but with AD GPO but we use Citrix policy from delivering controller

https://www.lewan.com/blog/citrix-profile-management-done-correctly-part-1-of-2

I have two questions

1- In the delivery controller policy, I can add the exclusion directory and exclusion files but I don’t know the syntax

Should be like this AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

Or like this the all path from the shared file system \\filerone\CTX-Profiles\%username%\UPM_Profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

2- After I configure this policy and let say it worked what will happen to the data inside the old users profile some of the users has more than 6 GB \INetCache directory. it will be removed automatically or I have to do it manually

And any side effect to user work

thin client to rdp session

We are testing the following scenario for a classroom.
We have a thin client that will be used in a meeting room. The thin client will be connected to a monitor and also connected to a big LED display.
I have two questions:
1. How can we connect to a remote desktop session on either a client or a server desktop using a thin client?
2. Will two displays work over a RDP session.
Do we need something like citrix Xendesktop or vmware horizons for getting this scenario work. or can I connect a thin client directly to a demote deskop.

Is adding a GPU to VDI worth it?

I am considering adding a GPU to my Citrix VDI environment.
The current hardware is brand new:

HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 (2)
256 GB RAM
10 GB NIC
Non-Persistent Disk model

The workload is standard MS OFFICE, Internet, some simple education videos from time to time.
I was thinking adding the Nvidia GRID. I know there is licensing for this system so I will take this in consideration.

Has anyone deployed a GPU to their VDI environment and was it worth it?

I have windows 10 and also a citrix log on.

When I start up PC I have to log into windows 10 with a user name first and then log into citrix using a user name and password.

This works fine but the issue is when I log off and someone else goes onto PC. I am logging off citrix and then logging off the windows 10 PC. When I go back onto it the following day its lost all my settings.
Am I doing wrong in logging off windows PC too and should I just switch user?

Also noted that things go wrong when i log onto PC as one user and then log onto citrix as someone else. Is this not allowed?

Any thoughts greatly appriciated.
