Whenever I am on the lookout for new information, whether it is for troubleshooting purposes or just to learn something new, I always hope to find two things… First of all, I hope to find detailed and well written information, and secondly, a way to download the information as a. Also, and even if it’s only for me, I think it’s nice to have all related information in one place and not scattered over multiple blog posts, which might be considered bad marketing by some, I know :-) However, I still feel that I’ll be able to provide you with some new insights on some of the topics covered.
I am aware that most of the topics, not all though, that I’m going to discuss are very popular and as such are well documented, either by fellow community members or, in some cases, by Citrix. Throughout this guide I’d like to zoom in on the FMA, some of its main components and talk about what happens during some of the most common day-to-day operations and processes, so common that in most cases we don’t even think about what’s going on under the hood until… it breaks down! In fact, I guess it’s safe to state that, that goes for all problems in life, if you don’t know or understand the basics of what you are dealing with than you’re bound to get lost, fast. When troubleshooting a XenDesktop environment/architecture it’s important to know which components and services are involved, how they interact and what is supposed to happen during normal operations.
