Hello, faithful readers.  After writing for dabcc.com for 2.5 years, I have returned to my roots at CarlWebster.com, home of the Accidental Citrix Admin. I truly enjoyed writing for DABCC. It was a blast. But a new party has begun at CarlWebster.com (and Joe Shonk is paying for the drinks <grin>).  So stay tuned to […]

The short answer: yes. The consultant answer: it depends. One could also ask the question “Should the Cloud fail?” My answer is: yes, failures are bound to happen in the Cloud. Why? Because the cloud is designed and built by humans. And we all know humans are not perfect, present company included. A “perfect” […]

Back in April 2009, I wrote an article on installing Adobe Acrobat Reader. A reader reported to me that the process does not work for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. There were enough changes to the process, I worked through and documented the process so the reader could get Acrobat Reader DC installed. Portable Document Format (PDF) files […]

Every modern day Citrix admin will probably agree with me. Using Office 365 on Citrix Servers and Desktops can be a challenge, let’s leave it at that. That’s not the topic of this blog post, however. It’s not even a Citrix problem. But again, every Citrix admin will agree on this too; if the problem or issue is pres […]

Lots of people have requested this script, so I figured I could save myself a lot of emails by putting the script here. There is obviously still a lot of interest in a script for offline processing of NetScaler data. This is a BETA version of 2.60. It is a copy of 2.50 that reads the ns.conf file. The following changes were made fr […]

Back in June 2009, I wrote the original How To Hide Additional Drive Letters article. Recently, someone asked me how to do the same task but with an ADMX file instead of ADM. Following the original example from 2009. Microsoft has KB article 231289 that explains the process to add custom drive letter combinations.  Using KB231298, […]

I have been working with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) since July 2001 and doing AD Health Checks since September 2003. One item I have done hundreds of times, failed on me yesterday during an AD remediation project. I duplicated the problem in my lab and want to document the solution for future reference. I have been speaking at […]

For my employer, I do a LOT of Active Directory (AD) Health Checks. One of the things I look for are User Settings in the Default Domain Policy. Why? Because Microsoft says only four groups of settings should be configured in the Default Domain Policy. No User Settings are on that list. The User Settings I see in almost every Defaul […]
