I sat down with one of Lewan's Solution Architects, Kenneth Fingerlos, to discuss his upcoming speaking engagement at the BriForum conference on July 20th. Our brief conversation covered the details of his session, "vSGA, vDGA, vGPU, and Software - When and Why", his background in the industry, and what gets him excited in the technology space right now.
The Windows default printer is a magical thing. This is the printer that is selected by default when you print in an application. Depending on your particular printing workflow this may be the only printer you ever use. Some applications have a quick print functionality that sends a print job to the default printer using default settings and no prompts (for example, portrait orientation and a single copy). To make a printer your default, simply right-click it and select default printer.
During a recent Deployment of XenApp 7.6 on Windows Server 2012 R2, when users ran an application that exported data to Excel they kept getting this error:
IT conferences are a great way to catch up on what is new, take classes, and network with peers in the industry. I have been lucky enough to attend great shows like Citrix Summit and Synergy as well as VMware VMworld over the years. The conference for me that always fell just out of reach was BriForum. This year it is all going to change. I am more than a little excited that one of the world's premier IT conferences has chosen Denver, Colorado for this year's US location. BriForum is an independent conference that provides vendor-neutral perspective on current and emerging technologies and services.
It seems like every other week there is an IT security breach that makes the news. Many of these hacks score credit card information that can immediately be used or sold. Recently there have been allegations that members of the St. Louis Cardinals hacked into the Houston Astros' system to gather information on players.

I would like to discus the procedure for configuring and implementing Domain Pass-through with Citrix Storefront and Citrix Receiver.
First things first, let's get a receiver installed on a test machine.

Purpose: This post explains Google Chrome functionality that can negatively impact the access to any Citrix environment.

One of the real challenges of testing a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is getting enough users to logon to the system to test it at the same time. While load testing should be an essential part of validating a new system, scheduling three or four users to test applications can be challenging. What if you would like to simulate the load of 25 or 50 users? Often, due to the challenges of scheduling and man hours involved load testing gets ignored and you end up hoping for the best on go live day.
