A significant number of changes on support stances are being introduced with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2003 Current Release. These changes will directly impact the supportability of many environments and need to be considered when scoping or performing any form of upgrade/implementation works. The most impactful change is the new stances on public cloud... Continue Reading →
As always in our industry, small changes in one platform can result in significant impact across what is “standard practice” in many other areas. This week's lucky contender is Windows Search. Windows Search in both Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 Multi-Session has changed how it operates, introducing the concept of per-user search natively into... Continue Reading →
WEM has offered a world of fun when it comes to environment management, however it introduces a black hole when it comes to documentation.

For a while now my friend Brandon Mitchell and I have been throwing ideas back and forward around how we see things unfold with profile management across multiple resource locations, both from a Citrix UPM and FSLogix perspective. We both have different insights based on our respective roles; I am a consultant who sees many... Continue Reading →
Back again banting on about the Windows Start Menu (surprised?). I am hoping this is one of those James Rankin “final say” style blog posts where I can put this bad boy to bed because I am pretty sure I have my silver bullet to providing a nice start menu environment consistently and efficiently.

For those customers integrating Azure Active Directory with Citrix Workspace as their primary Identity Provider (IdP), there are some changes that have been implemented which will result in some potentially unwanted behaviours in relation to the sign-on experience. The expected behaviour would be as follows: Scenario 1 I attempt to access my Citrix Workspace URL.... Continue Reading →
I like choice, and I really like privacy, so naturally, I am drawn to the Brave browser due to its underpinning fundamentals of “privacy first”.
