- 22. FAQs 22
- 23. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential.23 Q: Web Interface support is coming back but what product versions will it be supported with? A: Web Interface 5.4 will be supported with XenDesktop 7.x and XenApp 7.5. The recommendation is still to leverage StoreFront as Web Interface is being phased out.
- 24. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential.24 Q: What am I entitled to with AppDNA in Platinum licenses? A: Customers can use AppDNA for all of their apps though the focus is on virtualizing the apps.
- 25. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential.25 Q: If I’m at XenDesktop 7.1 now with active SA can I use XenDesktop 7.5? A: Yes. Active SA is all that is required. The SA date for the product is March 19th.
- 26. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential.26 Q: What options do I have for legacy apps on Server 2003 R2? A: Standing up a XenApp 5 farm along side a XenDesktop 7.5 site could be one option for Server 2003 support. With XenDesktop Enterprise and Platinum licenses, another option is VM-hosted apps to deliver apps from Windows XP VDAs (which is similar to 2003 R2 but not as scalable as RDS).
- 27. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential.27 Q: Will Windows XP still be available as a VDA option even with end-of-life approaching? A: Windows XP VDAs will continue to work with the 5.6 VDA. Microsoft ended support for XP on April 8, 2014 though so Citrix also no longer supports it.

- Hello and welcome to this webinar. I’m Allen Furmanski and I’ve been with Citrix for over 6 years. I’m a Lead Technical Specialist on the Citrix Worldwide Readiness and Enablement Team based on Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
- XenDesktop 7.5 is based on the FlexCast Management Architecture. FMA was first introduced in XenDesktop 5.0 back in late 2010. Whereas the previous Independent Management Architecture (or IMA) consists of a single Windows service and various subsystems for server to server communication, FMA consists of several Windows services and controllers only connect directly to the database (not to one another).
- Leo Singleton’s blog on anonymous user support for XenApp on FMA http://blogs.citrix.com/2014/04/21/part-5-anonymous-user-support-for-xenapp-on-fma/
- Remote PC Access is a feature of Enterprise and Platinum Editions. The feature has been available since XenDesktop 5.6 Feature Pack 1 in 2012.
- Upgrading from XenDesktop 5.x is also possible as is doing a migration from XenDesktop 4.x.
- There are 3 deployment scenarios
- Notice that in this diagram we have Active Directory in both on-prem and cloud offerings. We have a single license server on-prem. On the front-end, NetScaler along with StoreFront helps to present the resources as a single entity. With StoreFront, highly available multi-site configurations allows you to have a single resource, such as a desktop, that is delivered from multiple backend sites (ie. One or more on-prem sites and one or more cloud sites).
- These steps are typically performed by the Infrastructure Engineer with the exception of the last step which is more product specific and could be done by the Service Designer.

- The Volume Worker is a CentOS-based Linux template that is prepared with a special RPM package and tagged accordingly in CloudPlatform.
- This is a screenshot of configuring the CloudPlatform connection during site setup.
- With a valid Platinum license today, customers can install and leverage AppDNA for their applications without needing to install the latest XenDesktop or XenApp 7.5 product.
- Web Interface will not be supported on 2012 or 2012R2. We are also not introducing any new features for it. It will be maintained through the Lifecycle Management Team for bugfixes. The end-of-life scheduled for mid next year will likely be updated to reflect this.
- End-of-life for Server 2003 R2 is much later than Windows XP
- There is no timebomb or technical limitation that will prevent XP from working.
