Let’s get this one out there first: Citrix Cloud has enormous potential. But is it living up to that potential? To put it as a football metaphor: I wouldn’t want to be feeding all the R

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? Becaus

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 pos

Hello again! This tool is even simpler than the print driver stuff in my previous article. But again I hope this addresses a real need out there, it has done so for me. Everyone that has used Microsof

Printers and printer drivers aren’t an exiting technology as the latest HDX Features in XenApp 7.12 and so on. But every Citrix admin out there has ran into issues with printers and printer driv

As you may recall from my previous article, XenServer and HP Firmware Woes,  I was involved in a rather large XenServer upgrade project. Anyone that has done some XenServer updates/upgrades surely

It’s a virtual world nowadays. But sometimes, even in a virtual world, physical problems can be a real pain. Recently I was involved in upgrading/migrating an outdated XenServer 6.0 setup, runni

A few days ago, Carl wrote a very interesting article on “strange” IE behavior here: https://www.carlwebster.com/internet-explorer-10-and-11-open-to-blank-white-screen-or-become-unrespons

Picadm.sys you say? A few years back I already wrote about picadm.sys issues: https://www.carlwebster.com/the-curious-case-of-the-slow-file-transfer/ Citrix has been updating picadm.sys numerous time

At Synergy 2013, Citrix announced XenApp 6.5 FP2, among other things. I have been looking at this announcement with a kind of special interest, my first curious case, which you can read here. And what
