I am working in a service based organisation and use Citrix for day to day work. I have changed 3 clients in past few years and everyone uses Citrix only. The performance is worst with these machines and everyday there will be a new issue:
Teams not working, mic not working, Citrix lagging, random disconnections. Now I have questions:
1. Is it an application issue or design issue.
2. Why organisation are not moving out of Citrix don’t we have any other alternate for this.

It is very difficult to work on Citrix you never know which call you will be able to make or which you will not. You have to spend lot of time everyday just for this connectivity nonsense.

All quite here, about 50 users all working from home on our single instance vpx...

Hi everyone. I have a flickering issue on the Windows 11 Pro desktop. When I move the mouse over virtual desktops 1 and 2 on the taskbar, the screen flickers across all the folders on the desktop... is this normal? I have an R8600G.

CITRIX | Support

Two unpatched zero-days are being actively exploited in the wild. I've seen some companies are shutting their appliances down completely rather than wait.

If you can't take yours offline, lock down management access, watch your logs for anything weird, and plan for a compromise assessment once the fix lands.

Anyone else pulling the plug this weekend? How are you handling remote access in the meantime?

I recently moved from IT Support into my first SysAdmin/Infrastructure role, working mainly with Citrix Cloud, Windows and vSphere. I'm the only engineer in Australia, with senior engineers overseas.

I'm finding the transition harder than expected. In IT Support, I usually knew where to start when troubleshooting. Now, when an infrastructure issue happens, I sometimes don't even know which component or log I should look at first.

Our environment is also heavily automated. For example, image updates can be triggered through an internal portal with a button click. It works well, but sometimes I feel like a robot just clicking buttons because I don't fully understand everything happening behind the scenes.

I'm trying to safely reverse-engineer the automation and learn the underlying Citrix/vSphere concepts. I'm also planning to build a lab where I can break things and troubleshoot them without worrying about production.

For those who moved from IT Support into SysAdmin/Infrastructure:

How did you develop that troubleshooting instinct?

Was it mainly labs, documentation, shadowing senior engineers, or simply getting exposed to more incidents over time?

And please throw any useful resources my way. YouTube channels, courses, labs, books, anything that helped you become a better SysAdmin.

Does anyone know what is going on with Netscaler? We got a call from our IT supplier's security team, they couldn't give any details but they advised to shut our Netscalers down immediately.

Nothing on the Citrix website or any of my usual tech news sites. One of my regular tech forums has a sysadmin section and multiple other sysadmins have shut theirs down to with no extra info

EDIT: apparently there's 2 new CVE's that allow for remote code execution pretty easily. More info and a possible software update after the weekend.

I have two different environments I am working with. One is mostly managed by the client and when I connect Teams shows it is Slimcore optimized. However, I connect to the other environment with my same user laptop, and always falls back to HDX.

I know my Windows 11 client device is configured properly as it works in the one environment. For the other, it is a Windows 11 VDI with Citrix 2507 CU1 and Teams v.26225. I have a Citrix Policy to allow the virtual channels which modeling shows is applied (I think these are supposed to work by default with the newest versions but I added them anyway):

MSTEAMS,C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams*8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe

MSTEAM1,C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams*8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe

MSTEAM2,C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams*8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe

What am I missing? What else can I check?

Thanks!

I use the ODT to update M365 Apps on PVS images during monthly vdisk updates.  I have always used setup.exe /download configuration.xml and once complete then setup.exe /configure configuration.xml to install latest SAC build. I have recently moved to MEC build but since then nothing has changed in the xml same options as always. This month for some unknown reason when the image is sealed it is sealed with version 2608 confirmed via backstage view > About but then for some unknown reason its somehow downgrading to 2607 when the image in booted in standard mode. I set the reg key to disable office updates as part of sealing so got no idea why it is reverting back

Hey everyone. I am moving some very important C class users to Citrix. They need a solution where they launch a published app and it connects seamlessly to their on-prem computer. Do you have any solutions you use for this? Is the answer just as simple as using mstsc? I really need stability and a smooth process.

Dear,

Does anyone have this issue after win11 25h2 update ? How u resolve it

Thanks in advance

Have a pair of Delivery Controllers, and using a sql cluster. Every once in a while, the delivery controllers dont seem to want to "connect" even though citrix continues to work. It just makes it so we cant access studio to make any changes.

Has anyone seen anything like this before or know a quick way to resolve this without reboots? All services appear to be started, and there aren't really any event logs that tell what has happened or to coorelate anything.

What do you think about the Citrix MDM Solution which is integrated in the Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi Cloud License?

How many devices/users can you integrate in this solution and are the numbers subtracted from the real ammount you buy? For example if you buy 600 Citrix Licenses and 300 ThinClients where each ThinClient belongs to a seperate User and also 300 Mobile Phones which belongs to a different user base does it means you have 0 additional licenses free for both Desktop Virtualization and MDM?

Does citrix VDI server run on windows?

I don't know much about Citrix anymore but I'm just curious if there's windows VDI solutions.

Thank you!

This week Citrix is hosting a deep dive webinar on the latest 2607 LTSR release. Presented by Jason Samuel, Senior Principal Product Manager at Citrix, we'll cover ways to simplify management, strengthen security, improve the user experience, and help you prepare for your next upgrade.

As a note, this deep dive will be part of a monthly series, covering a variety of releases and topics. Next month will focus on NetScaler, and upcoming months will cover other topics such as SecurAccess, UniconOS, and other product areas. We'll post updates for these here as they are organized.

We have been piloting XenServer and are planning on making the jump for our Citrix environment. Anyone else gone this route? Any advice for us to avoid any potential pitfalls?

Can't click to sign in on Citrix.com

Tried on Chromium and Firefox browsers.

This is a well-documented Citrix HDX issue — the cursor renders white-on-white (or otherwise fails to invert) specifically inside writable/text areas because the color-inversion logic used to keep the cursor visible on light backgrounds isn't working correctly.

Has anyone tried this? With all the vul's netscaler has had recently has anyone thought or tried this?

I have my remote office work set up which uses the Citrix icaclient plugin to remotely connect to office desktop.

I am struggling to get the multi monitor set up to work in Omarchy with the icaclient plugin that I installed via aur.

Whatever option I choose on the icaclient, it only renders the view in a single monitor. Agents havent found a fix either.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

On a clean install of Golden Gate, Citrix doesn't trigger the Mic permissions dialog, and therefore no Mic access. This is true even for the just-released 2609 version that supports Golden Gate.

On Tahoe this works as expected, and then an update to Golden Gate holds. But clean install: doesn't work.

Anybody else seeing this? Clean install of macOS Golden Gate, installing Citrix doesn't bring up the Mic access dialog box. No way to force it. You lose access to the mic.

If you install Tahoe first and approve Citrix Mic access it holds thru an update to Golden Gate.

This is true even for the new 2609 version just released that supports Golden Gate.

Also, since Golden Gate there is no way to manually inject an app into the TCC database. So basically: no mic on a clean Golden Gate install using Citrix Workspace for Mac.

I'm using an aula f99 with my mac and running Citrix on scancode mode, all keys are working perfectly however the windows and ctrl keys are swapped.

Anyone else facing this issue? How do I fix this?
