On our Citrix server c:\users, some users have multiple folders.  

What would cause this?

Can the older ones be deleted?

Citrix 6.5, web interface server 5.4

2x Citrix Web servers - both configured identically.  We have noticed that if you log into WI server 2 and launch the ICA session then it works without issue.  On WI server 1 it does nothing.

Both work in Chrome (prompts for ICA download so not automatically) and apps launch ok on both, just not desktops.

Externally these servers are accessed via the Netscaler and look to work without issue but the fact WI server 1 doesn't work locally is bugging me.  It generates an event ID 21002 every time a launch is tried - we have reset ASP.net and followed every KB and tip going but to no avail.....

Hi

Am trying to prevent copy from RDS and Citrix servers to our remote users machines, but would like them to be able to copy from their machines to Servers?

How can this be achieved, I know there are polices that can block both copy and paste altogether but am after one-way .

Thanks

Running server 2008 r2 and citrix xenapp 6.5.. We have had a GPO in place for locking computers and citrix desktops after a 30 period. We have been fighting with end users to lock their computer when they are away from their desk and most users are good about but some just don't do it. So we came up with a plan for frequent offenders we would create a new OU and throw them in it and configure a GPO that would lock their computer after 3 mins. So we did that and it works for users that have a PC but users that have use a thin client and run a citrix desktop it doesn't work for. Any ideas how we can get this scenario to work?

I am a physician using a citrix app downloaded on my microsoft surface pro4 from the windows app store. I use a dragon medical practice edition 2 to dictate in to the EMR. At present, I can copy and paste within the session, but cannot copy and paste anything on to an outside document, for example cannot do copy and paste from the EMR session in to a microsoft word document on my surface pro4. this issue was not happening with the hospital provided citrix application which my guess is a older version, but I do not wish to use it as it is slow with the dragon dictation. Also, I noted that I cannot send commands through dragon, like enter template which usually uses the copy and paste function. Any thoughts or work around to this issue?
Thanks.

App-V 5.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 XenApp server (PVS gold image) with AppSense to personalize

For a few weeks now, not entirely sure when it began, the 'user logon' side of the App-V publishing is constantly failing for all users.  The periodic (hourly, in my case) user refresh is still working, I believe, because the icons do appear on the user desktop after a very long wait (although more like 15 minutes than 60, but it varies)

I then check the event log on the client and I get these two for every user logon...

I have all my Windows event logs relocated to the persistent disk that I have for each XenApp server, but I've only just realised that I've forgotten to do this for the App-V Admin one, therefore I only have today's data for that.  I was hoping to go back through the logs to find out exactly when this all started happening, but no.

During the hour or so where the icons still haven't reached the desktop, if I do a Sync-AppVPublishingServer, then I get this...

We have one user that receives:   Error: not a privileged user when she attempts to connect through the web interface to our Netscaler for VPN access to our network.   Assuming this must be something incorrect with her local client software but can't figure out what or why?  We have tried re-installing it.   We have 200+ users using the same web url and method to connect from home and do not receive this error.  Can anyone help with some basic instructions?  We are not sys admins and they have not responded...we just need to get her working.   Thanks for any assistance.

I have a citrix environment on which users connect to.
For e-mail their is an Office 365 configuration with ADFS which syncs the usernames and passwords for single-sign on.

Now sometimes a different user quickly wants to check its e-mail while another user is logged on to the terminal. But when he goes to the webpage of O365 and starts typing his e-mail address, the logged on user is automatically logged on and the different user can't check its mail.

Is there a change that can be done so that this becomes possible?
We already tried with inPrivate browsing but also here it automatically logs on with the currently logged on windows user.

I am a windows admin and i want to know  general know how and working on citrix xenapp server operations

is there any good general article which explains citrix, xenapp servers working and installation and configuration

just basic knowledge would suffice

Xenapp 6.5 Intermittent issues since KB4012215 (WannaCry security fix)

Hi All,

Ever since we installed KB4012215 as part of MS recommended protection against ransomware\ 'Wannacry' into our Windows 2008 R2 Xenapp 6.5 base image we've seen constant intermittent issues with file handles and permissions related to user profiles, UPM, Office applications and RDS.

Issue 1 - when user logs on\ launches a session:  
Word - 'your autocorrect file C:\users\user\appdata\roaming\microsoft\office\MSO3081.acl could not be saved - click OK 'Word cannot open the existing file normal.dot'

Issue 2- when user logs on\ launches a session:
Outlook signature file goes missing for customers - they'll add and then they'll lose it again on another session later.

There seem be weird file and handler locks and registry handles not being released properly or quickly enough after logon. i.e. an application wont recognise required datafiles (XML) in user\ \appdata\roaming profile folder even though the file\ folder definitely exists and can be written to.
To our frustration we cannot replicate the problem however it seems that the issues manifest when a user logs onto a specific CITRIX server the first time around and then relaunch an application session on THAT server again within a given timeframe. Testing further indicates that if a user is logged off completely and then they log back onto that same server the issue is NOT present.
A server reboot clears the issue for a little …
