HI,Hoping someone out there has idea how fix this.We have XenDesktop 7.15 non persistan environment with O365 all setup with Share Activation setup with office, however we are randomly seeing users where Share Activation does not kick in and uses one of the users liceses. So over length of time aprox 2 to 3 weeks users would fill up 10 activation machine limit and we have walk the users to delete out previous 10 vdi machines in their account. Obviously once a user hit the 10 limit it locks them out, so we are getting a lot of calls from users are not licenced and have to walk them through this to delete out 10 machines. This is now become our number 1 help desk calls.So this doesn’t happen all the time, we login desktop and share activation working.
But if we try over and over we get this happen where on 1 in 25 machines share activation isn’t working. And is not machine specific as we reboot this one machine get back on it and working.We are at lost why this is happening randomly, any ideas?. Hi Carl,Thanks for these guides they really are awesome. BUT 🙂I’m having issues with the start tiles. I have none click start get just the blue screen no tiles.
I have created an XML of working start menu and put it in a GPO pointing it to the DCNetlogon folder to try and force the tiles but nothing. If I pin or unpin something to the start menu I get them back for this session but logoff and back on again and they go until i pin / unpin an item. Do you have any ideas as to what I have done?just upgraded from 7.11 to 7.15LTSR using the same GPOs as the 7.11 build.ThanksNick James.
Environment = Server 2012 R2 and XenApp 7.6.3000 LTSRI am having an issue where our EMR system is trying to launch an IE session in order to display a PDF but it throws a File Association dialog asking to Choose between Citrix Server FTA and Internet Explorer. I was given a link tobut following these directions do not work. Or at least the way we think we followed them did not work. Are those double back slashes legit or are we supposed to know to change them to single or are these instructions totally out of date now? Is there any other way to set the file association for this?Thanks for all you do for the Citrix Community.
Hi Carl,great article! I have problems to lock down the settings app in Windows Server 2016 for the use with XenApp. Maybe you or someone in the community have a idea for a solution.It is still possible to restrict the access to specific control panel items via GPO, but there is no way for doing this with the settings app. The only setting which ca be configured per GPO is “Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC setting”. But this is no solution for my case.
The users have to access to some settings.With the ADMX-Templates for Windows 10 Release 1703 there is a new option in the computer configuration node: “Settings Page Visibility” (you mentioned this in your post “GPO VDA Computer Setting”). This was the solution I was searching for. So I tried this for my Windows Server 2016 setup. You can see that the key “SettingsPageVisibility” is created under “HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer”.
But this has no effect.I also read some posts in Microsoft forums, but there is no final solution. It seams that the MS support doesn’t care about this.Domenic. Hi Carl,I am having a strange issue with creating MAPI profiles on the fly for XenApp users. I used the Office transform file to install Office 2012 SP1.When a new user launches Outlook published app, it fails to connect to Exchange and pops up a messageCannot start Microsoft Outlook.
Cannot open the Outlook Windows. The set of folders cannot be opened. Your Profile is not configured.If I logon as a user on the XenApp server console I also get the same error message. I checked the Mail MAPI profile and it seems to have all the correct entries for connecting to the exchange server but when I check the name it fails.If I delete the mapi profile and launch Outlook on the console I can complete the profile creation wizard and successfully logon to Outlook. I have checked everything but just can’t seem to figure out why the profile is not being created automatically. Any ideas!ThanksManoj. Great article.Question – me and my citrix partner are trying o fix outlook 2016 from popping up with ‘windows search engine is currently disabled etc” and the “Search performance will be impacted because windows search service is turned off”We have enabled this GPO:User Configuration Policies Administrative Templates Microsoft Outlook 2013 (or 2016) Outlook Options Preferences Search OptionsPrevent installation prompts when Windows Desktop Search component is not present = enabledConfirmed its on in the registry and local policy – but the prompts still appear.
The above GPO does not work.We are XenDesktop 7.6.300 and outlook 2016. Hi Carl,Your site has been an incredible resource to get my new XenApp 7.9 (2012R2 session hosts) with NetScaler 11 environment up and running.I did run into one setting that caused some strange behavior. The following GPO caused the active application to have a black border when in focus. For example, notepad turned black instead of gray when selected.User Configuration Policies Windows Settings Scripts (Logon/Logoff). Script Name field, enter runonce.exe. Script Parameters field, enter /AlternateShellStartupI did follow your suggestions and added the three recommended computer policies in my VDA computer settings GPO, but still had this problem.Just wanted to share in case case anyone else ran into this issue.Jake. Hi CarlFirst thank you I use allot your site guidesOur organization moving for windows 10we use folder redirection for appdata roaming for couple of reasons like IOPs and logon time.After windows 10 Migration we noticed that the pinned taskbar icons are not saved after logoff reboot.When we open the Appdata Roaming UNC path manually, we can see that the Pinned Icons are created successfully.We tested different permissions for the folder redirection UNC path – With no luck.(on windows 7 machine with the exact same policy everything works)Have you experienced that issue?
Did you manage to solve or find a workaround?Thanks you very much. Hi Carl,First off, thank you for tis wonderful blog post. Found a fix myself after some playing about.Scenario;Redirected Start Menus and Desktop on 2012R2.Remove Common program groups from Start Enabled.Outlook notifications fail to appear.The shortcuts on my Start Menu and Desktop are taken direct from C:Program Files(x86). From what I’ve found Windows will only display notifcations from programs listed within C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms. Because we are removing this area and replacing it with our own, Windows does not recognise that any notifications should appear at all. Its not a case of it suppressing the popup, it never see’s it!Solution: Replace all shortcuts on desktop and start menu with Outlook shortcut taken from C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsMicrosoft Office. I guess I have a few things to fix.
Thanks for pointing these out.1. For people that read the IE section without reading the other sections, my intent was remind them of the other GPO settings that might prevent the script from working. I just updated the text to clarify which GPO those settings belong in.2.
There are several references to Citrix All Users. I fixed their names in the text so it matches the GPO name. I keep changing my mind on what to name that GPO.3. I must have missed that one. I’ll fix it.Let me know if you find any other issues with the content.
