I received a request by my clients to enable pass-through to their Citrix Web Interface site. Not more than a few minutes after completion, they made a few complaints, saying that they needed to supply their credentials every time they launched published applications, which defeats the Single Sign-On (SSO) purposes. After a few minutes of troubleshooting, I realized that, in order to enable pass-through, there are more steps need to be taken, not simply enabling the feature. Description : Properly enabling Pass-Through, so users wot have to supply credentials every time they launched Citrix published applications, as below : How To Do :  Uninstall current installed Citrix Receiver Once un-installation completed, open command prompt, and type CMD  Browse to the installer location, and run command (  CitrixReceiver.exe /includeSSON )to install Receiver with SSON enabled Proceed with installation When you can see this in P

This would be my first post regarding Server 2012 (pretty cool, huh?) So this is the case. I just created a lab environment for my XenDesktop 7. Because of this new classy environment, so I decided to use Server 2012. I have a server act as a DHCP, DNS and DC (have to, not enough resources), and another server as member server. So when I wanted to add this member server to my domain, I received error as in Issue section. Issues : Facing with this error while adding member server to domain. The following error occurred attempting to join the domain <domainName> : The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Troubleshooting  It turned out that my DNS server is not properly configured. It is not configured to any server, thus resulting member server cannot contact to any DNS server. Resolution : Configure the correct DNS server. Depending on your environment, you may want to set it manually at servers, or at Scope

I got this issue when I want to perform change farm on one of my Citrix XenApp farms. The installed version is Citrix XenApp 5 for Server 2008. I have not encountered any issue before while using Windows Server 2003, so I believe this issue is somehow related to the differences between those 2 Windows versions, well, particularly the UAC.  Issues : CHFARM utility failed in the middle, with below error : Troubleshooting   It is due to UAC permission, it blocks CHFARM utility from properly running because it ran in Admin Approval Mode.
