The Ultimate Guide to Terminal Server Printing - Design and Configuration

The Ultimate Guide to Terminal Server Printing - Design and Configuration Written on Feb 02 2004 Filed under: Third Party Software, Printing, White Papers 131,143 views, 86 comments ________________________________________ by Brian Madden This paper is excerpted from the book Terminal Services for Windows Server 2003:Advanced Technical Design Guide, by Brian Madden and Ron Oglesby. At some point during your Terminal Server system design you'll remember that your users will probably want to print something sooner or later. Printing is an important function to users within their Terminal Server sessions, yet it has traditionally been the biggest nightmare for administrators of server-based computing systems. Ideally, printing from applications via RDP sessions should be no different than printing from any other application. It should be relatively seamless to the users, allowing them to click the print button within their application, easily select a printer, and qu...

Troubleshooting Citrix Slow Performance Issues

Slowness reasons what is your environment ? - Changes . check Last Application Change, Network changes, OS changes patches, updates -  Roaming profiles , local , hybrid ? -> check the profile server - Terminal server event ID -  Fileserver                -where is the fileserver with the profiles located. ((so it's profile size isn't very big)                - Process CPU utilization                 -Teaming and bonding are specific name for Ethernet network,                 -load balancing -   DC/ DNS  (domain controller) -  SAN ( disk responsive time) ,- User connections (Disk Queue Length ,Disk Transfer Time) -  Antivirus check Logs malware ...

Citrix Communications

Citrix Web Interface - Client Communications The diagram below shows the client communications when accessing Citrix XenApp via the Citrix Web Interface: Client device utilize a Web browser to authenticate to the Web Interface. 1. The Web server reads users’ credentials and forwards the information to the Citrix XML Service on servers in the server farms. The designated server configured with Web interface console acts as a broker between the Web server and the other servers in the farm. 2. The Citrix XML Service on the designated server retrieves from the servers a list of applications that users can access. These applications comprise the user’s application set. The Citrix XML Service retrieves the application set from the Independent Management Architecture (IMA) system. 3. The Citrix XML Service then returns the user’s application set information to the Web Interface running on the server. 4. The user clicks an application icon in the HTML page. 5. The C...
