A while ago I wrote a cross reference blog with my buddy Henry Heres about integrating Citrix Gateway and VMware Workspace One Access. A respected customer read these blogs and tried integrating this in their environment but ran in to issues and called for some assistance. Unfortunately, the original scenario we blogged about did not work in this specific environment, so I had to find an alternative way. In this blog I will show you another option and how to configure this!

As you probably already know App-V was originally scheduled to end in January this year (2023). Recently Microsoft announced they pushed the EOL date to April 14th, 2026 so you have still have some air left. But you have to think about a new strategy to deliver the apps. A great alternative is VMware AppVolumes! Little is known you can also use this when you use Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Even better you can use this with the new amazing AppVolumes on Demand feature!

We found multiple issues but in this one we focus on a specific one: “The After-reboot jobs.” The Start: Lately a lot of complaints received the IT department of this customer about performance, latencies and login issues.

In this step we will switch the portal to VMware WS One Access. Same as the previous one, I will show the flow, Henry will show t

A while ago I was discussing a valid migration scenario between an existing Citrix Deployment to VMware Horizon with my buddy Henry Heres. One of the steps is to migrate the external portal from Citrix (Unified) Gateway to VMware WS One Access. As seen before, discussing these kind of scenarios with Henry is like planting a seed and pouring a gallon of Pokon on top of it. So, we decided to do a Cross reference Blog. I will show the flow, the blog(s) made by Henry will show h

Let’s do one about Citrix Provisioning, Windows Performance Counters, Telegraf and InfluxDB Cloud! In previous blogs I have shown before the power of visualizing data. Of course there are awesome tools out there. Sometimes there is an issue in a customer environment and you just want to start measuring a.s.a.p. At my current employer we do a lot of Citrix Provisioning. Normally this performs really well but when there are issues its kind of hard to get the full picture espec

Let’s play around with the Citrix Hypervisor and Citrix Provisioning Services. It’s been a while since I used Citrix Hypervisor in a production or even in my lab environment so let’s see if we can still run this nested on a VMware ESXi 7 host and stream a virtual desktop on it😊 I tried log all my steps and create screenshots..
