Installing Applications on Citrix XenApp 6.5 Servers
- Before you install applications on a Citrix XenApp server, you must make sure that no other users are logged on, and the server is in “install mode”.
- To do this, you can run the following command:
change user /install - Once you have completed the installation, you should change the mode back by running this command:
change user /execute - Alternatively, you can run the Install Application on Remote Desktop Server Wizard for Installing Applications in RD-Install Mode, from the Control Panel:
- During installation, if the server requires a reboot, you should do the following:
- Note any entries/commands shown in the RunOnce reg key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce).
- Run change user /install
- Run the entries/commands shown in the RunOnce reg key.
- Run change user /execute
Publishing Applications using XenApp AppCenter
- Open the Citrix AppCenter console.
- Expand Citrix Resources > XenApp > [Farm Name].
- Right-click Applications and select Publish application:
- Click Next at the Welcome screen:
- Click Next, accepting the defaults for Application Type:
- Browse to the application executable:
- Select which Servers/Worker Groups will run the application:
- Select which Users/Groups will be allowed to run the application – it’s best to use Domain Groups for easier management/delegation:
- Configure the location of application shortcuts (the Client application folder field will show in Web Interface):
- Tick the Configure advanced application settings now tickbox, then click Next:
Configure Advanced Application Settings
- Continuing from the Step above, select which connections you will accept:
- Associate file types with the application if needed:
- Tick Allow only one instance of application for each user, if required. Limit instances allowed to run in server farm will ensure you’re complying with license restrictions:
- Configure Client options:
- These application appearance settings will only apply if you are publishing a Server Desktop:
- The application will now show in Citrix AppCenter:
