Licensing Server in XenMobile 9.0 with *.CRT License
From: http://monsterbean.com/2014/07/29/licensing-server-in-xenmobile-9-0-with-crt-license
I had a Citrix Partner License (*.crt) for XenMobile 8.7, but it seem like XenMobile 9.0 is installed with Licensing Server, and it need *.lic file for activation. Since I do not have the *.lic file, thus I’m explore the possibility of using back my *.crt file for XenMobile 9.0
Please refer to the following Step configured in my lab for more information
Login to Citrix Licensing Server installed during XenMobile 9.0 via http://HOSTNAME:8082
Enter Domain Administrator’s Username & Password to login

XenApp Error: Google Chrome Becomes Unresponsive when Started as Published Application
You can also still get this issue when other published Citrix applications are opening Google Chrome through a href link (i.e. a link in an Outlook e-mail).
If so allow other applications to launch Chrome with the switch enabled updating the following registry key:
HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command\default

NetScaler - how to configure DNS with TCP
Some clients use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for DNS communications.
However, UDP specifies a maximum packet size of 512 bytes. When payload lengths
exceed 512 bytes, the client must use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
When a client sends the Citrix® NetScaler® appliance a DNS query, the appliance
forwards the query to one of the name servers. If the response is too large for
a UDP packet, the name server sets the truncation bit in its response to the
NetScaler. The truncation bit indicates that the response is too large for UDP
and that the client must send the query over a TCP connection. The NetScaler
relays the response to the client with the truncation bit intact and waits for
the client to initiate a TCP connection with the IP address of the DNS load
balancing virtual server, on port 53. The client sends the request over a TCP
connection. The NetScaler appliance then forwards the request to the name server
and relays the response to the client.
To configure the NetScaler to use the TCP protocol for DNS, you must configure a load balancing virtual server and services, both of type DNS_TCP. You can configure monitors of type DNS_TCP to check the state of the services.
For updating the records proactively, the NetScaler uses a TCP connection to the server to retrieve the records.

Important: To configure
the NetScaler to use UDP for DNS and use TCP only when the payload length of UDP
exceeds 512 bytes, you need to configure DNS and DNS_TCP services. The IP
address of the DNS_TCP service must be same as that of the DNS service.

Creating a wildcard webserver certificate with your internal Microsoft CA
It is sometimes necessary to issue a wildcard certificate from your internal Microsoft CA, I had such a requirement this week and thought it would make a nice blog post.
The post assumes you have a Enterprise CA already deployed and a web server template deployed and available for enrolment.
First we need to create the certificate request that will be issued to your CA.

Why does connecting to my work VPN cause my internet to not work?
What you are looking to do is called split tunneling. If you are using a Microsoft PPTP VPN, you need to uncheck "Use default gateway on remote network" in the TCP/IPv4 advanced settings for the VPN connection.
If you are using another VPN client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the VPN client's documentations. Please note that some VPN's allow the administrator to disable split tunneling.

Creating "Wildcard" Certificate Requests for IIS
If you don’t have an enterprise CA, please don’t search for the “webserver” templates info. It does not help even if it is there.Creating a custom request is fine. Just make sure that you save it to a file at the end. -> This is the PKCS#10 CSR you need to take to the external CA.
1) In the MMC, go to the “Personal” folder. Right click, chose all tasks-> Advanced Operations->Custom Request.
a. Hit “next”
b. Choose “((no template) Legacy Key” as template
c. Request Format = PKCS #10 is default and OK.
d. Hit “next”
e. Click on “Details” to get the “Properties button to show and hit that.
f. Please go over the tabs right to left. This will ensure that you 1st take care of the important functional items before coming to your customizations.
