Configure HP T410 for Citrix AGEE via using Native client

First we need to ensure that all the require certificate which is configured on AGEE SSL is copied over HP T410. To do that we need to enter admin mode

Once admin mode is enabled ( It will ask for password and default is root) you can find the option called certificates

 

Insert the pen drive with require certificate and then import using certificate manager

 

Once done then create connection using connection manager

This connection uses legacy client setting on store front.  So check store front setting for this

Once this setting is supplied it will prompt for user name password. This user name can be in form of domainname\user and then just the password

Once user name is accepted , then you will get desktop with all the icon

XenApp session throwing error "To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted"

When XenApp hosted shared desktop is launch or XenApp published applications are launch it throw following error " To log on to this remote computer , you must be granted the allow log on through Terminal Services right"

Users were member of local desktop groups but for some reason local policies for "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services" were not configured for "Remote Desktop users" Once added , HSD were successfully launched.

How to integrate App -V with XenApp 6.5 -About Roy Approach

Though there are tons CTX and KB published but I would like to have my own reference based on my own experience.  All I need is XenApp and application will be streamed to the XA server rather to the client.So how do we start with. First we should download App -V integration kit from Citrix site. This site is listed under

Once downloaded extract it and you can find following files under it.

Copy this folder under App V hub. Now this App V hub is noting but where captured applications are kept and location is following

  

Next thing we need to do is install App-V client on the machine where application is intended to be streamed. In my case application will be streamed to the XenApp box. Remember App -V client for XenApp is different and you need to download App-V client for  remote desktops services 

After installing App-V client on XenApp box which will be used to published this app, we must insure some settings are populated. During installation we can install with default settings like locations for app hub. Rest all settings can be populated latter

 

Specifying publishing server is a must.

And yes do not forget to update the following registry setting on all the XenApp box which will be used for App-V streaming

So this all settings are on App -V client which is installed on XenApp box. Same XenApp box will be used for streaming App -V applications.

Now we need to provide permissions on Applications as well. Make sure application which we are intended to be publish have XenApp users mapped.

Now we will be publishing this applications via XenApp. I am not going to cover each steps.While publishing apps I am choosing stream to server because I will be using my XA box to stream App -V OSD (Application streaming)

Now I will be selecting locations for applications. So profile address will be pointing  App -V conduit which is from App -V integration kit. This will populate profile field. Then we need to type UNC path for application OSD. This is post application has been sequenced via App -V . To sequence App -V follow CTX126082

While selecting servers choose the server where we have installed App -V client which is mention in the beginning. Add the users and then we can see the application via SF portal

  

You can observe that here it launch from Q drive

Also on if you notice client status on XenApp server it will be 100% stream

Rest all will leave to you guys to figure out as I am no expert with App -V . And yes feedback as always welcome.
