VDI in a Box with Citrix Access Gateway VPX Failover Configuration

Extend Desktop Director to Xenapp

Posted by Pieter Mussche on 06/01/2012.

As you may or not know Citrix recently extended the capabilities of Desktop Director. Desktop director was first introduced with XenDesktop 5 and gives the administrator and helpdesk users 1 single glass of pane to support their XenDesktop environment.
And now with the release of Desktop Director 2.0 Citrix included management for Xenapp sessions! It is now possible to aggregate both XenDesktop and Xenapp sessions into 1 management console both it’s also possible to use Desktop Director solely for the management of Xenapp sessions.
This post is a walkthrough in how Desktop Director is installed to enable the management of a Xenapp 6.5 environment.
