I have just published a new project that I have been working on over at CodePlex. This project was to create a wrapper for the MCliPsSnapin that is provided by Citrix for the automation and scripting of Provisioning Services. I got fed up of navigating the whole syntax of the snap in, which wasn’t true

Customising the NetScaler 11 User Interface – Adding Extra Content
I am finally getting round to playing with NetScaler 11, and working on a side-by-side migration from our working 10.5 installation. The configuration of all of the services, servers, monitors etc has all been pretty smooth sailing. However, the customisation of the user interface has been somewhat challenging. With one hand, Citrix have given us

Citrix StoreFront ‘Group View’ – An Alternative to Folder View
We have a StoreFront set up, in which User Subscriptions are disabled and so every application is subscribed to a user. Our applications are defined in folders in the XenDesktop site for ease of finding the applications. The folders were added after we discovered that everything was just chucked together in one big group in

Citrix Director: Cannot Initiate Remote Assistance Session
This is more of a dialog of the process that I went through in troubleshooting an issue. This particular issue I think would be rare, as there are only a few situations where total closure from the Internet is actually required or implemented, but the process itself provides a potentially useful guide on logging and

How to Create a Specific Customized Logon Page for Each VPN vServer based on FQDN without breaking Email Based Discovery
Citrix have published a guide (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123736) on creating a customised logon page for each virtual server, based on the FQDN received. The article works, and true to its intended aim, the sites respond on the relative FQDN and return the correctly customised login page for each of the vServers. Once this has been completed though,

XenDesktop 7 Move Database
Unfortunately once again the documentation provided by Citrix on moving databases from one SQL Server to another is incomplete. The documentation provided here: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX140319 misses out the configuration of one of the services. The listing misses out the configuration of the Citrix Analytics Service. In my environment this meant that after the reboot of the

NetScaler 10.5 53.9c StoreFront Monitor uses NSIP, not the SNIP
I believe I have come across a bug in the implementation of the StoreFront monitor in the Citrix NetScaler 10.5. The issue may also exist in previous versions, but I have not tested it. The NetScaler I was working on was sited in a secure network, with a firewall between the NetScaler and the internal
