Installing of XenDesktop®'s main components


As we saw in the previous chapter, a XenDesktop infrastructure includes many components, and some of them are essential for successfully installing XenDesktop.

In this chapter, we will install and configure the essential elements of XenDesktop, such as:

  • Citrix Licensing

  • Citrix Delivery Controller

  • Citrix Studio

  • Citrix Director

  • Citrix Storefront

At the end of the installation process, you will be able to install a XenDesktop deployment, as shown here:

When installing the components, you will have to satisfy some of the system requirements. You can find these on the Citrix web page, which can be found at http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp-xendesktop-75/cds-system-requirements-75.html.

Here you can find a table listing the main requirements and operating systems support:
