Windows 8 has some new maintenance jobs. These are great when you have an physical machine. But not when you’re using Citrix PVS to stream the OS. To disable these tasks enter the following commands:
Prerequisites
RES: .NET 2 only for Cached User Settings is .NET 4 required. Tips
Always try to reproduce an issue in an empty database. Always configure re-branding. Best Practices:
Split database is new production environments, keep the default name the wizard returns “<name pri db>_2nd”. Reserve a Named Licenses for laptop users when mixing the licenses. Define the Home drive in AD (user/gpo etc.) even-though it’s possible to configure in RES. Email Settings: Always set the setting create once When setting the “Enable offline use” setting, make sure the folder exists on the target device (E.g. GPO or Automation Manager) Signatures, make sure you select the correct version! Make drive reservations for dives used. (E.g. C: / D: / H:-Home Drive) Set the “Do not perform mapping operation” Don’t redirect AppData When testing with zero profile, make the user member of “local guests” a temp profile will be used and this wil make your live easier. Try to capture the user settings as much as possible on application level instead of global level. Always enable Memory optimization. Always enable Instant Logoff for XenApp SCCM Deployments Export key HKLM\SOFTWARE\RES\Workspace Manager, this can be used for SCCM deployments. Admin bypass Set the follwoing advanced setting, “Bypass composer for accounts matching: DOMAIN*admin*”. If the user is member of the local Administrators group RES personalisation will not be applyed. Splash Screen Composition > Desktop > Lockdown and Behavior > “splash”

Socket Pooling. # In StoreFront we need to configgure socket polling in the config files, while in Web Interface we could configure this in the console. Storefront maintaines a pool of sockets instead of creating a socket each time a new user connects, when enabled it will give a better performance for SSL traffic. To change this, edit C:inetpubwwwrootCitrix<STORE>web.config (as Administrator) and find:
