Citrix Xenapp 6.0, 6.5 Common questions
1. What is windows print server?
Ans – A print server, or printer server, is a device that connects printers to client computers over a
network. It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers.
2.How does a window print server work?
Ans – Normally, a server operating system is installed on the print server computer and then the
office’s various printers can be added to the system with the appropriate drivers. The new printers
are then set up to be shared from the print server, so that employees can access them from their
individual workstations.
3.What is print spooling?
Ans – In print spooling, documents are loaded into a buffer (usually an area on a disk), and then the
printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. Because the documents are in a buffer where they can
be accessed by the printer, you can perform other operations on the computer while the printing
takes place in the background. Spooling also lets you place a number of print jobs on a queue instead
of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.
4.What is windows universal print driver?
Ans – (Universal Printer Driver or Unidriver) is a GDI‑based Microsoft Windows universal printer
driver and architecture for non‑PostScript printers. It is used to simplify driver development of non‑
PostScript printers (also called Winprinters) for printer manufacturers. Unidrv allows the creation of
a printer‑specific minidriver in the form of a GPD (Generic Printer Description) file, similar to a PPD
file, which is much simpler than kernel mode driver development.
5.What is a XPS and EMF print drivers?
Ans – Universal XPS Printer driver –
This driver is based on the Windows XML Paper Specification (XPS) printing technology introduced
in Windows Server 2008. Windows XPS printing technology uses XML to create a platform‑
independent “electronic paper” similar to Adobe’s PDF format. The XPS format is a device‑
independent XML‑based spool file format that provides a compressed XML description of a page’s
graphic elements. Printing devices can use XPS‑forma渍�ed print jobs directly without translation.
The Citrix Universal XPS Printer driver creates the XPS print job using the Microsoft XPS printer
driver on the client device. The Citrix Universal XPS Printer driver obtains printing device‑specific
information from the client device. Provided your farm servers are running XenApp 5.0 and your
client devices have .NET 3.0 installed on them, which comes with Windows

client devices have .NET 3.0 installed on them, which comes with Windows
Vista, you can use the Citrix Universal XPS Printer driver.
Citrix Universal Printer driver –
This driver uses Windows’ Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) technology.EMF is a device‑
independent format for capturing the graphical elements printed on each page of a print job. A client‑
side renderer uses EMF and provides a substantial reduction in the processing time of Citrix
Universal print jobs on the client.
6.RDP v/s Xenapp?
Ans – Maine diffrence – RDP: transfer complete frame and bandwidth depends on screen resolution,
ICA: create virtual channels(video,audio,print,keyboard& mouse updates) and transfers only screen
updates and bandwidth will less as keyboard and mouse click will be 10‑15% of frame
1. RDP works only under TCP/IP, while ICA works on many protocols.
2. RDP doesn’t permit applications to run in a browser, while works for ICA
3. Session Reliability will be there in ICA,it is not in the RDP
4. Encryption is possible in ICA,it is not present in RDP
5. ICA also supports non windows like DOS, UNIX, MACOS, mobiles
7.What is the difference b/w data store and DC?
Ans – Datastore – Is the database which contain the static information related Xenapp farm which
includes – published applications, users, printers, and servers, citrix GPO.
Datacollector – maintains dynamic information about the servers in the zone, such as server loads,
session status, published applications, users connected, and license usage. Data collectors receive
incremental data updates and queries from servers within the zone. Data collectors relay information
to all other data collectors in the farm. By default, the data collector is configured on the first server
when you create the farm, and all other servers configured with the controller server mode have
equal rights to become the data collector if the data collector fails. When the zone’s data collector
fails, a data collector election occurs and another server takes over the data collector functionality.
Farms determine the data collector based on the election preferences set for a server. Applications are
typically not published on the data collector.
8.What is XML broker?
Ans –
– It functions as an intermediary between the farm and Web Interface.
– XML Broker receives the credentials of user from the Web Interface.
– XML Broker retrieves the applications which have user permissions to access.
– This is done by Independent Management Architecture and returns to the Web Interface.
– Once the user is authenticated, the XML broker locates the server in the farm.
– XML Broker returns the address of the service rendering server to the Web Interface.
– XMS Service functions between Web Interface and IMA service.
9.What is citrix xenapp farm?
Ans – XenApp server farm is a logical collection or group of XenApp servers that can be managed as
a single entity and they talk to single datastore server.
10.What is zone?
Ans – A zone is a grouping of XenApp servers that communicate with a common data collector. In
large farms with multiple zones, each zone has a server designated as its data collector. Data
collectors in farms with more than one zone function as communication gateways with the other zone
data collectors. The data collector maintains all load and session information for the servers in its
data collectors. The data collector maintains all load and session information for the servers in its
zone. All farms have at least one zone, even small ones. The fewest number of zones should be
implemented, with one being optimal. Multiple zones are necessary only in large farms that span
WANs.
11.What are the different ports and their numbers?
Ans.
ICA port – 1494.
XML port – 80 & 443.
Session reliability – 2598/2599.
License – 27000.
Vendor daemon – 7279.
License management console – 8082.
Database port – 1433.
IMA – 2512 & 2513
12.What is application enumeration process?
Ans ‑The application listing and displaying process is as follows:
1. A user launches the Web Interface URL, it returns the logon page.
2. Users types their credentials, it is forwarded from XML then to IMA service in HTTP (or HTTPS)
form.
3. The IMA then forwards thecredential data to local Lsass.exe (lsass.exe” is the Local Security
Authentication Server. It verifies the validity of user logons to your PC or server).
4. The Lsass.exe encrypts the credentials then passes them to the domain controller.5. The DC returns
the SIDs (user’s SID and the list of group SIDs) to Lsass.exe and to IMA.
6.IMA used the SIDs to search the Local Host Cache (LHC) for a list of applications and the Worker
Group Preference policy for that authenticated user.
7. The list of the applications together with the user’s worker group preference policy are returned to
the Web Interface.
8. The Web Interface returns the web page to the web browser with the list of applications
2. Web Interface passes the application information together with the user’s Worker Group
Preference policy back to IMA on the XML broker server.
3. It then forwards to the IMA service on the Zone Data Collector.
4. The Zone Data Collector tries to find out a least loaded server according to the Worker Group
preference list.
5. When it finds the least loaded server, it sends a query to the Citrix Service Manager of that server
to verify whether the server has the required application installed, if the answer is yes, it then
provides this server’s host ID to the XML broker.
6. The XML broker translates this host ID into it’s IP address by searching the LHC.
7. The IP address is then provided to Web Interface and it creates the ICA file.
8. The ICA file is then returned to Web browser on the client machine.
9. Citrix online Web plug‑in uses the ICA file to launch an ICA connection to the least loaded XenApp
server.
10. The XenApp server launches the application for the user.
13.What if datastore goes down?
13.What if datastore goes down?
Ans – Data store Server goes down (And you have a backup from the Data store available, If you
don’t you would have to recreate all the farm se渍�ings) dsmaint backup takes a backup of the data
store.
2. Run a dsmaint migrate to migrate the se渍�ings to a new data store. Even if a Data store is
unavailable the LHC contains enough information about the farm to allow normal operations for an
indefinite period of time. However, no new information can be published, or added to the farm, until
the farm data store is online. If you need to start from scratch with a new data store, prepare a new
data store the way you did before configuring XenApp and run the Server Configuration Tool from
any farm server. After running the Server Configuration Tool, manually reenter the lost se渍�ings. If
you use the same name as he previous data store, you do not need to reconfigure the farm servers.
14.What if license server goes down?
Ans – The Citrix servers can function without contacting the license server and it is 30‑days fault
tolerant, and in Enterprise version an alert can be set with Resource Manager to send an email in case
of License Server Connection Failure. If the license server reconnects at any time in the thirty days the
problem resolves itself. If the server is not going to come back up, then the license file, digitally
signed with the case‑sensitive hostname of the old license server, is the critical component. The
license file, a *.lic file, can be backed up to a thumb drive separately, and restored to a new server
with the same name of the old license server, and the Citrix License server software installed.
15.What if data collector goes down?
Ans – Data collector server goes down.
2. The servers in the zone recognize that the data collector has gone down and start the election
process. In this example the back up data collector is elected as the new data collector for the zone.
3. The member servers in the zone then send all of their information to the new data collector for the
zone. This is a function of the number each server has of sessions, disconnected session, and
applications.
4. In turn, the new data collector replicates this information to all other data collectors in the farm.
Even if a Data collector is unavailable the servers will continue to function. The users that are already
logged in will not be affected.
16.What happens in ZDC election process?
Ans –
Incase ZDC is not be available, another server in the zone can take over that role. The process of
taking the role is called ZDC election. Server Administrators should choose the Zone Data Collector
strategy carefully during the farm design itself. When an election needs to occur in a zone, the winner
of the election is determined by
1. Highest version of Presentation Server first
2. Highest rank (as configured in the Management Console)
3. Highest Host ID number (Every server has a unique ID called Host ID).
When the existing data collector for Zone failed unexpectedly or the communication between a
member server and the Zone Data Collector for its zone failed or the communication between data
collectors failed, then the election process begins in the Zone. If the server is shutdown properly, it
triggers the election process before it goes down. The servers in the zone recognize the data collector
has gone down and starts the election process. Then the ZDC is elected and the member servers send
all of their information to the new ZDC for the zone. In turn the new data collector replicates this
information to all other data collectors in the farm.
information to all other data collectors in the farm.
Note: The data collector election process is not dependent on the data store. If the data collector goes
down, sessions connected to other servers in the farm are unaffected .The data collector election
process is triggered automatically without administrative interference. Existing as well as incoming
users are not affected by the election process, as a new data collector is elected almost
instantaneously.

—— Show Host Records Completed ——‑
To see the Host ID number and its version, run queryhr.exe utility (with no parameters).
Each server in the zone has a rank assigned to it. The administrator can configure such that the
servers in a zone can be ranked to make the server as the most desired to serve as the zone master or
ZDC. The ties between servers with the same administrative ranking are broken by using the HOST
IDs assigned to the servers. When a Presentation Server starts or when the IMA service starts, the
IMA service starts trying to contact other servers via the IMA protocol on port 2512 until it finds one
that’s online. When it finds, it queries it to find out which server is acting as the data collector. The
winner of this Zone Data Collector election is determined by the newest version of the IMA service.
We can control which server will act as data collector by keeping that server the most up‑to‑date.
Data Collection Election Priority
Whichever server has the most recent version of the IMA Service running. (This may include
hotfixes) and the server with the highest preference set in the data store.
Basically data collectors and data store are not really related. The data store holds permanent farm
configuration information in a database, and the data collector tracks dynamic session information in
its RAM.
In addition to their primary role to provide dynamic farm information for admin consoles or for
incoming connection requests, data collectors also take part in the distribution of configuration
changes to Presentation Servers in the farm. When we make a changes in a presentation server that
change is wri渍�en to the local host cache of whichever server we connected to, and then immediately
replicated to the data store. Presentation Server only looks for changes in the central data store every
30 minutes. Whenever a change is made to the data store, that change is sent to the data collector for
the zone.
The data collector then distributes that change (via IMA port 2512) to all of the servers in its zone,
allowing each server to update its own local host cache accordingly. Furthermore, if we have more
than one zone, the initial data collector contacts the data collectors in the other zones. It sends its
change to them, and in turn those data collectors forward the change to all of the servers in their
change to them, and in turn those data collectors forward the change to all of the servers in their
zones.
Coolest part is if the change is larger than 64k, the data collectors don’t send the actual change out to
its zone. Instead they send out a notification which causes the servers in the zone to perform an “on
demand” sync with the central data store. However it’s rare for a single change to be more than 64k
in size. The data collector election priority se渍�ings in the management console
Presentation Server Java Management Console > Right‑click on farm
name >Properties > Zones > highlight server > “Set Election Preference”
We can totally control which server is our data collector by manually se渍�ing the preferences in the
Java console. We can manually configure four levels of Zone’s Data Collector election
preferenceoptions
Most Preferred
Preferred
Default Preferred
Not Preferred
The important thing to remember is that these preferences will beignored if a newer server is up for
election.
17. What happens if the webinterface is down?
Ans – New user will not be able to access the application hosted in citrix and it will not affect the
existing connected user.
18. What are the types of websites in Web Interface?
Ans Website and service site.
19. How can we add the backup XML service?
Ans – We can specify the back xml service on the webinterface management console.
20. What is LHC?
Ans – A local cache of the data store, which allows a server to function in the absence of data store.
21. What is session reliability?
Ans – This se渍�ing allows or prevents sessions to remain open during a loss of network connectivity.
By default, session reliability is allowed.
Session Reliability keeps sessions active when network connectivity is interrupted. Users continue to
see the application they are using until network connectivity resumes. When connectivity is
momentarily lost, the session remains active on the server. The user’s display freezes and the cursor
changes to a spinning hourglass until connectivity resumes. The user continues to access the display
during the interruption and can resume interacting with the application when the network
connection is restored. Session Reliability reconnects users without reauthentication prompts.
22. What is meant by keep alive?
Ans – Keep Alive Policy Se渍�ings The Keep Alive section contains policy se渍�ings for managing ICA
keep‑alive messages. ICA keep alive timeout This se渍�ing specifies the number of seconds between
successive ICAkeep‑alive messages. By default, the interval between keep‑alive messages is 60
seconds. Specify an interval between 1‑3600 seconds in which to send ICA keep‑alive messages. Do
not configure this se渍�ing if your network monitoring software is responsible for closing inactive
connections. If using Citrix Access Gateway, set keep‑alive intervals on the
Access Gateway to match the keep‑alive intervals on XenApp.
ICA keep alives
This se渍�ing enables or disables sending ICA keep‑alive messages periodically. By default, keep‑alive
messages are not sent.
messages are not sent.
Enabling this se渍�ing prevents broken connections from being disconnected. If XenApp detects no
activity, this se渍�ing prevents Remote Desktop Services from disconnecting the session. XenApp
sends keep‑alive messages every few seconds to detect if the session is active. If the session is no
longer active, XenApp marks the session as disconnected.
ICA Keep‑Alive does not work if you are using Session Reliability.Configure ICA Keep‑Alive only
for connections that are not using
Session Reliability.

Load Evaluators assigned to Worker Groups or OUs instead of individual servers
Datastore and Zone information configured via GPO
Sesssion Only and Controller roles
Desktop Director web console can manage XenApp sessions
MultiStream ICA – ica traffic can be split into four separate TCP streams if required
Log On control feauture to drain users.
24.What are the policies you have worked?
Ans – Clipboard policy, drive mapping policy, printer policy, universal printer policy, Universal
profile management 4.0.
25.Which has high priority citrix policy or AD policy?
Ans – Local ‑> Citrix > site > domain > OU.
26.what is universal printer in citrix?
Ans –
Universal Print Server
The Citrix Universal Print Server extends XenApp and XenDesktop Universal printing support to
network printing. This feature eliminates the need to install numerous network printer drivers on
XenApp and XenDesktop hosts, and enables more efficient network utilization. The new Citrix
Universal printer driver supports direct network printing on Windows and non‑Windows clients.
After you install the Universal Print Server components and configure the new policy se渍�ings, a user
can add and enumerate network printers through the Windows Provider and Citrix Provider
interfaces.
The Universal Print Server feature comprises:
•A client component, UPClient, that you install on each XenApp and XenDesktop host that
provisions session network printers and that uses the Universal Printer Driver.
•A server component, UPServer, that you install on each print server that provisions session network
printers and that uses the Universal Printer Driver for the session printers (regardless of whether or
not the session printers are centrally provisioned).
27.What are commands often used in citrix?
Ans – Qfarm /load, /zone, /app, lboff and enablelb /servername
dsmaint, /clean, / recreatelhc after stoping IMA.
28.How to know which is your Data Store machine?
28.How to know which is your Data Store machine?
Ans – By opening the MF20.dsn file in notepad.
29. What are troubleshooting steps if IMA service is not ge渍�ingstarted?
Ans –
The following could be some reasons, in addition to others, for the
IMA Service to fail to start:
• IMA Service load time
• IMA Service subsystem
• Missing Temp directory
• Print spooler service
• ODBC configuration
• Roaming Profile
• Another server with an identical NetBIOS name on the same network
IMA Service Load Time
If the Service Control Manager reports that the IMA Service could not be started, but the service
eventually starts, ignore the error message. The Service Control Manager has a timeout of six
minutes. The IMA Service can take longer than six minutes to start if the load on the database exceeds
the capabilities of the database hardware or if the network has high‑latency. If you feel that the
service is merely hung(stuck in a “starting” state) you can terminate the ImaSrv.exe process in Task
Manager and restart the Citrix Independent Management Architecture service as a test.
IMA Service Subsystem
Examine the following Windows Registry se渍�ing:
• x32‑bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\Runtime
\CurrentlyLoadingPlugin
• x64‑bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\IMA
\Runtime\CurrentlyLoadingPlugin
If there is no value specified in the CurrentlyLoadingPlugin portion of the preceding Windows
Registry entry, then either the IMA Service could not connect to the data store or the local host cache
is missing or corrupt.
If a CurrentlyLoadingPlugin value is specified, the IMA Service made a connection to the data store
and the value displayed is the name of the IMA Service subsystem that failed to load.
Missing Temp Directory
If administrators see an “IMA Service Failed” error message with an error code of 2147483649 when
starting the server, the local system account might be missing a Temp directory which is required for
the
IMA Service to run.
IMA Service to run.
To gain further insight into the situation, change the IMA Service startup account to the local
administrator and restart the server. If the IMA Service is successful in starting under the
local administrator’s account, then it is likely that a missing Temp directory for the local system
account is causing the situation.
If the Temp directory is not present, then manually create one as
\Temp. For example:
C:\Windows\Temp
Also, verify that the TMP and TEMP system environment variables point to the temporary directory.
Restart the server to restart the IMA Service.
Print Spooler Service
When the server a渍�empts to start the IMA Service, the “Setup Could Not Start the IMA Service” error
message appears. This error shows that the IMA Service is not starting, possibly because the print
spooler service is not running or was configured incorrectly. In addition, the following error
messages appear in the Event Viewer:
• Failed to load plugin MfPrintSs.dll with error 80000001h
• Failed to load initial plugins with error 80000001h
• The Independent Management Architecture service terminated with service‑specific error
The error occurs because the print spooler service:
• Has stopped
• Is disabled
• Is not configured to run under the Local System Account
To resolve this issue, verify that the print spooler service was started in the context of system rather
than in the context of a user. A print spooler service that is not running or has been configured
incorrectly might cause the printing subsystem to fail to load.
To resolve the situation, stop and start the print spooler service, ensure that it is configured to run
under the Local System Account.
Then, try to start the IMA Service.
ODBC Configuration
1. Verify that the Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle server is online.
2. Verify the name of the DSN file that the IMA Service is using the
following key in the Windows Registry:
• x32‑bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DataSourceName
• x64‑bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\IMA\DataSourceName
3. A渍�empt to connect to the database using the DSN file with an ODBC test utility such as Oracle
3. A渍�empt to connect to the database using the DSN file with an ODBC test utility such as Oracle
ODBC Test or SQL Server ODBC Test.
4. Verify that the correct user name and password are being used for database connectivity.
5. Change the user name and password using the DSMAINT CONFIG command, if needed using
dsmaint config /user:username /pwd:password/dsn:dsnfilename.
6. Enable ODBC Tracing for further troubleshooting.
Roaming Profile
When the server a渍�empts to start the IMA Service, the “Setup Could Not Start the IMA Service” error
message appears. In the event viewer the error IMA_RESULT_INVALID_MESSAGE is displayed or
other events related to the IMA Service not being able to start. Verify the size of the roaming profile,
especially if it is crossing a WAN. Also watch for error messages related to not being able to load the
profile. Test with a local user profile or one that is smaller in size.
Another server with an identical NetBIOS name on the same network Verify that there is not another
server on the network with the same NetBIOS name on the network. If the CurrentlyLoadingPlugin
has the ImaLicSs.dll listed, this might be an indication of this condition.Another symptom of
ImaLicSs.dll “106. The IMA Service failed to start because of license group corruption in the data
store. “CTX124406 – DSCHECK – XenApp Data Store Checker Tool Commands
30.What is proximity printing?
Ans – Proximity printing basically detects a user’s current IP address and then maps the user to a
printer in the user’s subnet. Granted, one would hope that maybe every floor has its own scope or
some kind of an identifier that would make it unique so that you can map a printer accordingly.
Assuming that is the case, you can configure Citrix print policies to map network printers for users
based on the IP address of their device.
To configure proximity printing, follow these steps:
1. Create a separate Citrix Policy for each subnet or each geographic location
2. Enable proximity printing through the session printing policy rule in Citrix Policies
3. Add the printers for that subnet or geographic location in the policy
4. Set the Default printer policy to use the Do not adjust the user’s default printer se渍�ing
5. Filter the policy bt Client IP address
Now there is another method which you should be aware, called Workspace Control. This feature is
useful when users disconnect from their existing session, move to a different location and a different
device and connect back to that same session. Typically, without Workspace Control, if they resume
the same session the printers will not change. With Workspace Control, when they connect again, it
automatically detects that they are connecting from a different location and a different device and
maps their printers. Cool, no?
31.What are troubleshooting steps if delivery service console is not ge渍�ing connected to xenapp?
Ans – Check the IMA port and check the MFCOM services if they are runing or not.
32.How to enable configuration log in DB?
Ans – to create the configuration log in DB for citrix we need a seprate database and once the DB is
created right on the farm and then go to properties and follow th wizard.
33.What is the purpose of CTX key Tool?
33.What is the purpose of CTX key Tool?
Ans – CTXKEYTOOL – Use ctxkeytool to enable and disable the IMA encryption feature and
generate, load, replace, enable, disable, or back up farm key files.
34.How to upgrade/migrate your xenapp?
Ans – We cannot upgrade to xenapp 6.5 due to architure defrence so, if we want to move to upper
version there is a option of migration.
Steps –
1. Create a new farm with the xenapp 6.5 and use the migration tool and specify the source farm to
new farm and then migration utility will check for the compatibility of apps with new farm and after
that it will migrate the old farm to new farm.
35.What is workspace control?
Ans – Use workspace control to allow users to disconnect quickly from all resources (applications,
content, and desktops), reconnect to disconnected resources, and log off from all resources. This
allows users to move between devices and gain access to all of their resources (disconnected only or
disconnected and active) either when they log on or manually at any time. For example, clinicians in
hospitals may need to move between workstations and access the same set of resources each time
they log on.
36.What are the windows editions available? And which are supported?
And – Windows sever 2008 R2 is supported for xenapp 6 and xenapp 6.5.
37.Which databases are used in the environment?
Ans – MS SQL 2008
38.What are the license server ports? And what is license vendor daemon?
Ans 27000 and vendor daemon is the thing that will provide the license to DATA collector for the
users.
39.What is the purpose of DSCheck?
Ans – This utility performs validation checks on a server farm’s datastore. Results are displayed on
the console and wri渍�en to the Event Log. The /clean option deletes inconsistent records.
40.What is the purpose of DSmaint command?
Ans – Run the dsmaint on farm servers to perform XenApp data store maintenance tasks, including
backing up the data store, migrating the data store to a new server, and compacting the XenApp data
store or the Streaming Offline database. Not all dsmaint commands apply to all database types.
When using this command, user names and passwords may be case‑sensitive, depending on the
database and the operating system you are using.
41.How to take back up and restore of xenapp and data store?
Ans – DSmaint backup Path.
42.How to bring xenapp server into maintenance mode?
Ans – change logon
/EXECUTE Enable execute mode (default).
/INSTALL Enable install mode.
/QUERY Display current se渍�ings.
/disable disable user login from session
43.What do you mean by load thro渍�ling?
43.What do you mean by load thro渍�ling?
Ans – Limits the number of concurrent connection a渍�empts that a server handles. This prevents the
server from failing when many users try to connect to it simultaneously. The default se渍�ing (High
impact) assumes that logons affect server load significantly. This rule affects only the initial logon
period, not the main part of a session. The Load Thro渍�ling rule can be applied only to a server, not to
an individual application.
44.What do you mean by workergroup and what are its advantages?
Ans – Worker Groups are new in Citrix XenApp 6. They’re collections of XenApp servers that reside
in the same farm and are managed as a single unit. Worker Groups let you collect servers into groups
for publishing applications, load balancing, and policy filtering. They’re particularly useful for larger
installations where many XenApp servers must be managed as a single unit. Worker Groups can be
created based on each server’s Active Directory Organizational Unit (OU) membership, or a Worker
Group membership can be specifically assigned to each server in the Citrix Delivery Services
Console.
45.What are Worker group priorities?
Ans – Whenever we add the worker group to load balancing. Each worker group you add is
automatically assigned a priority, from highest (1) to lowest.
46. What if the server is not accepting the connection –
Ans –
steps – qfarm; qfarm /load;
qfarm /offline;
qfarm /lboff – all ok.
Connected to server desktop – ok
and ima working.
dsmaint verifylhc – ok.
dscheck /full apps;
dscheck /full servers. all OK.
So servers were actually fine,
issue somewhere with either sta or data collector
