Overview of this book

<p>XenApp 6 is the leader in application hosting and virtualization delivery, allowing users from different platforms such Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices to connect to their business applications. It reduces resources and costs for application distribution and management. Using Citrix XenApp 6, you can deploy secure applications quickly to thousands of users.</p> <p><em>Getting Started with Citrix XenApp 6</em> provides comprehensive details on how to design, implement, and maintain Citrix farms based on XenApp 6. Additionally, you will learn to use management tools and scripts for daily tasks such as managing servers, published resources, printers, and connections.</p> <p><em>Getting Started with Citrix XenApp 6</em> starts by introducing the basics of XenApp such as installing servers and configuring components, and then teaches you how to publish applications and resources on the client device before moving on to configuring content redirection. Author Guillermo Musumeci includes a use case throughout the book to explain advanced topics like creating management scripts and deploying and optimizing XenApp for Citrix XenServer, VMware ESX, and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. It will guide you through an unattended installation of XenApp and components on physical servers. By the end of this book you will have enough knowledge to successfully design and manage your own XenApp 6 Farms.</p>

As we saw before, we can determine how the final policy settings are merged for a connection by calculating the Resultant Set of Policy.

We can calculate the Resultant Set of Policy in the following ways:

  • We can use the Citrix Policy Modeling Wizard to simulate a connection scenario and discern how Citrix policies might be applied.

  • We can use Group Policy Results to produce a report describing the Citrix policies in effect for a given user and server.

  • We can launch both tools from the Group Policy Management Console in Windows. If our XenApp environment doesn't use the Active Directory, we can launch the Citrix Group Policy Modeling Wizard from the Actions pane of the Citrix Delivery Services Console.
