Here's what you'll learn in each video of the Citrix XenApp
Presentation Server 5 Certification Package:
Video 1 - "Introduction to Citrix CCA for XenApp 5.0 and Citrix
Certification" - Citrix XenApp is a singular improvement to Terminal
Services, providing improved management, better network performance,
and an improved user experience. But before you can learn about it,
you need to understand what it is. You also need to understand where
Citrix’s CCA certification lies in the landscape of all Citrix
certification. Start out this series on the right foot with an
introduction to XenApp, the CCA, and the CBT Nuggets learning style.
Video 2 - "Understanding the Citrix Architecture" - There are a lot of
pieces that need to work together to make a Citrix XenApp
infrastructure, and to properly run it in your environment you’ll
likely be using them all. Before you start any installations, this
nugget will introduce you to the components that make up a Citrix
architecture.
Video 3 - "Installing XenApp" - One of the first steps in any
technology insertion is simply getting it installed to the right
servers. XenApp is not a trivial installation, requiring a number of
prerequisites prior to inserting its DVD media. This nugget explains
what you need and how to install it correctly.
Video 4 - "Configuring Citrix Licensing" - Once installed, the next
step is setting up licensing for your XenApp infrastructure. That
process leverages the Citrix Licensing Console and interacting with
the MyCitrix website. You’ll need to know how to do both if you’re to
properly license your XenApp farm.
Video 5 - "Configuring Farm Settings" - Farm settings are an important
first step in setting up your infrastructure, because these settings
are shared by every server across your infrastructure. Here you’ll
learn what those farm settings are as well as some best practices
learned through years of implementations on how to best configure
them.
Video 6 - "Configuring User & Session Settings" - In addition to the
farm settings, prior to letting any users access your environment you
must setup their settings as well. Here, you’ll learn how to configure
the ICA protocol itself for best performance, basic security, and the
right level of access for your users.
Video 7 - "Understanding & Applying Citrix Policies" - Like
Microsoft’s Group Policy, Citrix has its own set of policies that
enforce settings within your infrastructure. These policies don’t,
however, work in the same way as Group Policies, and they configure
different things. In this nugget you’ll learn how to apply Citrix
Policies as well as good pointers on which ones to turn on.
Video 8 - "Installing and Configuring the Citrix Client" - Any user
who wants to connect to your Citrix infrastructure is going to need a
client installed to their desktop or laptop. But getting those clients
installed properly isn’t a trivial activity. You need to know how to
install the clients, how to repackage them for silent installation,
and how to configure their settings so they’ll install with the right
settings.
Video 9 - "Tips & Tricks for Installing Applications to XenApp
Servers" - No matter if you’re taking the CCA exam or not, there are
some common best practices for getting applications installed to
XenApp servers. In this nugget, we’ll stray from the certification
focus for just a bit to give you the best pointers on how to get your
applications installed to your XenApp servers. This bonus video
illuminates some of Greg’s notes from the field, where he shares
common tips and tricks for getting apps installed correctly.
Video 10 - "Delivering Server Applications to Users" - Once installed,
the next step with applications is to publish them for your users.
That process isn’t difficult, but there are settings you need to be
aware of. In this nugget, Greg talks about how to set up delivery of
applications to users and the Citrix clients on their desktops.
Video 11 - "Understanding Zones, Load Balancing, & Preferential Load
Balancing" - When you start adding more than one XenApp server to your
farm, you’re going to want to load balance your incoming user traffic
between them. XenApp includes some very rich capabilities with doing
this based on user load, performance metrics, or even location and
priority of incoming users. In this nugget you’ll also learn about how
and why to separate XenApp servers into zones to service different
geographical areas.
Video 12 - "XenApp Administrators & Delegating Permissions" - Its
likely that you’re not the only administrator in your IT organization.
So to balance your own workload, you need to delegate administrative
permissions to others. The process in XenApp is easy, and is explained
in detail in this short nugget.
Video 13 - "Configuring Printing for Citrix Clients" - Printing in
Terminal Services and XenApp has traditionally been a complex process,
and one that is definitely highly focused on for the CCA exam. Learn
the tips and tricks for getting it right, including when to assign
printers and when to use the Universal Print Driver in this
comprehensive nugget on remote printing.
Video 14 - "Configuring & Using Web Interface" - Your users have
multiple ways in which they can be connected to their applications.
One of them is through a customizable web service Citrix calls Web
Interface. This nugget explains how to deploy Web Interface as well as
how to customize its appearance and features to your organization’s
specific needs.
Video 15 - "Securing XenApp Connections" - Deploying applications over
your Intranet is fairly easy. You trust your internal network and the
data that passes through it. But deploying applications over the
Internet can be more challenging. Whether you want security for
internal-only or Internet-facing connections you need to understand
the impacts of security. You also need to know how to set it up. This
video explains all the details, and gives you good advice on what to
do to protect your connections and your internal infrastructure.
Video 16 - "Monitoring Farm Health and Configuration" - Now that
you’ve got your farm up and operational, it’s time to monitor it for
performance and bad behaviors. Citrix provides some out-of-the-box
tools to do just that. In this nugget you’ll learn about tools like
Health Monitoring and Recovery and the configuration logging engine
that ensure your farm remains in tip-top shape.
Video 17 - "Deploying Applications with Installation Manager" -
Installation Manager gets a major facelift in XenApp 5.0, and although
not necessarily directly tested on for the CCA you probably will want
to know more about it. This nugget explains how to create installation
packages and rapidly deploy them with Installation Manager, making the
process of managing your installed applications just that much easier.
Video 18 - "Deploying Streamed Apps to Users" - XenApp 5.0 also truly
introduces the idea of streamed applications to your Citrix
infrastructure. Whereas previous versions were completely defined by
applications on XenApp servers alone, with streamed applications you
can actually push applications down to clients. You can even create
just-in-time installations to XenApp servers as users attempt to
connect. This nuggets’ guide to streamed apps goes far beyond what you
need to know for the test, preparing you for a whole new way of
getting applications to your users.
Video 19 - "XenApp Command Line Tools" - Managing your Citrix
infrastructure from the GUI is one thing. Doing so from the command
line is quite another. XenApp’s command line tools give you a way to
manage your entire infrastructure through scripts and automation, and
they expose additional configuration capabilities that simply aren’t
available through the GUI consoles. You need to know these tools, so
definitely check out this nugget.
Video 20 - "Troubleshooting XenApp" - Lastly, there are some times
when your XenApp infrastructure experiences problems. And there are a
few known issues that you should just know about. This nugget explains
a few that you’ll need to know for the best management of your
infrastructure as well as your success on that critical CCA exam.
