A few months ago, I have blogged about an annoying anomaly in the handling of EFS-encrypted files. My case was that copying fails for an EFS-encrypted file to a location where it cannot be encrypted by the source system (e.g. a file share). My colleague Helge Klein has apparently uncovered the cause: CopyFile(Ex).

Building Custom EdgeSight Reports Part 1 - Kick OffPublished by Nicholas Dille on 07/06/2010 | 0 Comments | 950 Views For quite a while now, Citrix is offering EdgeSight for performance analysis and historical reporting. It started off for endpoints and XenApp (still called Presentation Server at that time) and now includes virtual desktops as well. EdgeSight is offering a huge number of reports seemingly covering all possible aspects of performance analysis. But in my eyes, the agents are collecting a lot more pieces of information than the reports are able to display. This article is the first in a series describing the EdgeSight database schema, what is necessary for a valid query and how it is built into a report. |
Changes to the XML Service to Implement WebInterface User RoamingPublished by Nicholas Dille on 06/07/2010 | 0 Comments | 773 Views In my article about WebInterface user roaming, I have described how to leverage this new feature to route users to specific farms depending on department, location or progress of migrating to a new farm. Now, I'd like to offer a look under the hood, how WebInterface interacts with the XML service to implement user roaming. |
The Danger of Machine Account Password ChangesPublished by Nicholas Dille on 06/01/2010 | 1 Comments | 924 Views Every so often I am asked to help analyze weird issues when assigning group memberships or permissions - accounts are not found and the Event Log shows unsettling messages. Many of these situations can be traced back to the operating system using a different machine account password than the domain is aware of. |
WebInterface User RoamingPublished by Nicholas Dille on 05/31/2010 | 0 Comments | 1,106 Views With the release of WebInterface 5.2, Citrix has implemented a new feature called user roaming. A video was posted on the Citrix community site presenting the new features which - unfortunately - does not suffice to describe the power of the latest versions of WebInterface. This article explains this exciting new feature in WebInterface and shows how it benefits XenApp environments. |

Microsoft Sync Framework and the Pains with EFSPublished by Nicholas Dille on 03/30/2010 | 0 Comments | 1,151 Views I have been using SyncToy since the days of good old Windows XP ;-) I has been a reliable companion for swiftly backing up my data. With the update to SyncToy 2.1 on Windows 7 the situation has changed dramatically. As the source directory is EFS-encrypted and the destination directory is a network share, SyncToy fails to create new files at the destination. Unfortunately, the situation is even worse as SyncToy seems to be the victim - like myself. |
EdgeSight 5.3 Monitors License ServersPublished by Nicholas Dille on 03/25/2010 | 0 Comments | 1,648 Views On the 11th of March, Citrix quietly released EdgeSight 5.3. Apart from endpoints and XenApp servers, EdgeSight now monitors license servers presents in the environment. No agent is required for this new feature. This version is not affected by the timebomb present in earlier versions ;-) |
