Issue When users connecting to applications from XenApp 6.5 (or less) version, randomly few users might get the error, The task you are trying to do can’t be completed because Remote Desktop Services is currently busy. Please try again in a few minutes. Other users should still be able to log on. No matter how many times that user connects to the application, they will still get same error. When Citrix admins try to logoff that session, it will not logoff.
This article explains the steps on how to login to netscaler using userPrincipalName instead of samAccountName or both at same time. If you follow these steps you can use sAMAccountName and userPrincipalName at Same Time for User Logon with Active Directory.
Configuration By default when you configure netscaler gateway, you would configure it to use userid which is samAccountName. Users enter their userid (like john.doe) and login to netscaler gateway. In this case, you will create an LDAP server with samAccountName as shown below.

We call these metrics “The Five Ls”:
Launches Logon Times Load Times Latency ChanneL (Yes, including Channels is cheating, but mnemonics are worth it!) In this blog post, we’ll discuss how the Five Ls impact the performance and delivery of your Citrix applications and what actions you should take to improve performance in those areas. Special thanks to Ken Avram who originally compiled this content!
Wire data analysis can provide you with real-time information about “the 5 Ls.
Starting from XenApp/XenDesktop 7.x we have maintenance mode option on the Citrix app servers directly. We can turn on or off the maintenance mode on the servers which will only disable Citrix sessions on those servers. RDP connection will still work on the faulty app server. In XenApp 6.5 appcenter, we can only disable logons to the servers which will also disable RDP access to the server. Using load evaluator, we can come around this issue and disable only Citrix logins, while making sure that RDP still works.

Have you configured raspberry pi in your environment? If yes, have you ever felt that it is very slow or not responding at all? I’ve had the same problem and I’ve fixed it. Read more to find the solutions that I’ve used to fix it.
I have been using raspberry pi from last 3 years with sandisk 32 GB SD card. If you’re using raspberrypi you already know by now, they don’t sell charging socket separately.
Issue: We had to reboot our ADC. We were not able to save the configuration both from GUI and command line in ADC. We did a force reboot. When powering on, we observed lot of license related errors like “The license info cannot be fetched” " No licenses were found" etc.. But after logging in, we were able to see the license file. After netscaler is powered on, we were not able to login through GUI and ssh.
If you’d like to secure xml traffic from storefront to DDC, you should install certificates on the DDC. If you have IIS installed in your DDC server, then mapping the certificate to 443 is very straight forward process. Open IIS manager (inetmgr), select your server and then select server certificates. Import the certificate along with private key and bind it to 443. If you do not have IIS installed in your DDC server, then you should install the certificate on the DDC server and run netsh commands to link that certificate to citrix DDC software.
After you upgrade your citrix site, or on a new citrix site creation, when you open director portal, under sessions/logon performance tab for logon duration details it shows “no data is available for the specified time period”.
Based on your CVAD version, copy the source files into a folder on your VDA (app servers). Goto iso\x64\Virtual Desktop components folder and right click on UpmVDAPlugin_x64.msi file and click repair. complete repair and reboot the server.
