Overview
I’ve previously posted some notes on installing Citrix XenApp including iPad configuration, but it was done quickly and without screenshots.
I plan to post a more detailed series on Installing and Configuring Citrix XenApp 6.5, with screenshots and other relevant information.
Here are the links so far:
- Install and Configure Citrix XenApp Licensing
- Install and Configure Citrix XenApp 6.5
- Configure Web Interface for Citrix XenApp 6.5
- Publishing Applications with Citrix XenApp 6.5
- Install and Configure Profile Management for Citrix XenApp 6.5
- Add Servers to a XenApp 6.5 Farm
- Configure Pass-through Authentication for Citrix XenApp 6.5
- Install and Configure Citrix Secure Gateway
I’m doing all this in my Home Lab using VMware Workstation, but the steps should be the same in Production.
Prerequisites
- Set up and configure a Base VM (Server 2008 R2), then Sysprep it and create a Snapshot so you can create linked-clones from this.
- Set up the following VMs:
- DC01 – Domain Controller (DC).
- SQL01 – SQL Server
- CTXLIC01 – Citrix Licensing.
- CTXXA01 – Citrix XenApp.
- CTXXA02 – Citrix XenApp.
- CTXGW01 – Citrix Secure Gateway.
- Run dcpromo on DC01 and set up your domain (I choose vilab.local).
- Create a reverse lookup zone on the DC – my subnet is 10.10.10.x
- Join all servers except for CTXGW01 to the domain; as this will be in the DMZ.
- Install SQL Server 2008 R2 on SQL01 (I only chose to install Database Engine Services and Management Tools – Complete).
