“If you’ve ever had a major outage, you can’t afford to miss this session!
SYN404: Introducing the Citrix Diagnostics Toolkit When problems occur, data points, debug tracing, and context information are things that support engineers will collect to help determine root cause and later use to affect product change if applicable. Preparation and organization of commonly used tools has always been a time consuming challenge especially during outages. We have all experienced this at least once in our careers but ...

Profiles: To cache or not to cache, that is the question…
Once upon a time, it was all so simple. Six questions, with yes or no answers, and you could just set up UPM by following the docs, and performing a simple if-X-then-set-Y-thus sequence. But then came PVD and VDI-in-a-Box, and people started running provisioned XenApp on XenServer, and goodness-knows-what-else, and suddenly you had to think quite hard about some aspects of UPM configuration. Not because you ...

Did I get it right? – the Profile Management Configuration Check Tool (UPMConfigCheck)
Introduction One of the most eye-opening moments for me as Development Manager of UPM was a meeting I attended of the UK Citrix Users Group a couple of years ago. I wasn’t there to promote UPM; I had gone with my team to listen and learn what Citrix users were doing with profiles. But in the pub, after the meeting, and with a pint of Fuller’s in ...

Migrating UPM Profiles – Tips and tricks
UPM has been around for nearly 4 years now, and seems to have been well adopted, to the point where we’re starting to see some support calls along the lines of “I’ve outgrown my original user store and I need to migrate my users to a more scalable store, without losing my data.

Case Study – XD upgrade from UPM 2.x to 3.x
While I've blogged on the mechanics of upgrading from UPM 2.x to UPM 3.x, I've not yet addressed the other aspects of planning and configuration. This came up recently in-house, where we'd decided to upgrade an XD4 farm to XD5. The original request came in as: "We are creating a new CPM environment for XD5 Pooled in Showcase. We would like to take the contents of the ...

How do you migrate from Profile Management 2.x to 3.x?
Easy. Just follow the instructions at http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/user-profile-manager-kib/upm-upgrade-den.html and http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX126659;. However, those instructions describe the ideal scenario, and assumes you have 2.1.1 already installed and you want to get to 3.2.2 (the latest version, as I write this blog), and that you've got a convenient maintenance window that you can use. What do you do if those assumptions don't apply to you? Maybe you're on 2.0 or 2.1. Maybe ...
