When encountering below text in a GPO and you do not have or want to return to the older ADMX files.
Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might able te resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management.
Then this can be simply resolved with below PowerShell command:
Remove-GPRegistryValue -Name "Name-of-GPO-involved" -key "HKLM\Software\Policies\Citrix\UserProfileManager" -ValueName DeleteRedirectedFolders
The cause was an incorrect Windows temp variable. The solution was to modify the temp variable back to “%userprofile%\appdata\local\temp”.
Xendesktop 7.8. Machine Creation Services
Error after an update of the Machine Catalog:
Solution:
Open Powershell as administrator and find out the running Task ID on the Machine Catalog.
Add-PSSnapin Citrix.*
Get-ProvScheme | where {$_.IdentityPoolName -eq “Windows 7 TEST MCS_NFS”}
Next step is to find on one which Host the task is initiated. With that information we can stop the task. Write also the ProvisioningSchemeUid down for later.
Get-ProvTask | where {$_.TaskId -eq “<TASKID>”}
Stop-ProvTask –TaskId <TASKID> –AdminAddress <HOST>
The last step is unlocking the ProvisioningSchemeUid:
Unlock-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeUid “<ProvisioningSchemeUid>”
Now you can re-execute an update on the Machine Catalog.

I have encountered a problem that the LDAP authentication with memberOf configured was not working and without the memberOf it worked.
Testing with the logging enabled (shell | cd /tmp | cat aaad.debug) gives me a strange line:
/home/build/rs_110_64_24_RTM/usr.src/netscaler/aaad/ldap_drv.c[370]: receive_ldap_user_search_event Binding user… 1 entries
/home/build/rs_110_64_24_RTM/usr.src/netscaler/aaad/ldap_drv.c[395]: receive_ldap_user_search_event User DN= <<CN=citrixtest,OU=TEST USERS,OU=ICT,DC=kbsfrb,DC=local>>
/home/build/rs_110_64_24_RTM/usr.src/netscaler/aaad/ldap_drv.c[1334]: check_ad_expired_pass pwdLastSet not found, most likly not AD
The cause of this is that the group “Authenticated Users” is not a member of the Group “Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access”. After adding the Authenticated Users to this group, the memberOf worked.
When opening an application through Citrix StoreFront you get the warning:
These files can’t be opened
Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\system32\CtxMTHost.exe
Solution:
On the Session Hosts that hosts the application, open regedit and load the NTUSSER.DAT hive of the default user:
When navigating to the key Computer\HKLM\<loaded hive>\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots, the sub key Certificates is not visible.
Take over Owner rights of the ProtectedRoots and grant Authenticated Users Full Control. Afterwards put back the Owner to SYSTEM.
The sub key Certificates will now be visible and the error will be gone.
NetScaler Gateway shows 2 authentication fields when only 1 LDAP Policy is bound:
Put the text “form.append(field_pass2)” in comment in the files:
/netscaler/ns_gui/vpn/js/gateway_login_form_view.js
/var/netscaler/gui/vpn/js/gateway_login_form_view.js
Example:
if (pwc ==2)
{
//form.append(field_pass2);
}
Custom roles are available only for Enterprise and Platinum edition when using a XenApp license.
