The application enumeration process 7.

1.User open the citrix page 2. Asking for credentials

3.The user device submits credentials to the Storefront/Web INTERFACE site.

4.the credentials are verified directly to a Domain Controller. SF then passes the

validation over to the Delivery controller.

5.Delivery controller then queries the site SQL database for the end user’s assigned Delivery

Groups

6.Using the Delivery Group information obtained from the database, Controller queries the

hypervisor about the status of resources within that group.

7.Controller identifies to Web Interface/Storefront, virtual machine is assigned for this particular

session.

8.Web Interface/StoreFront creates and sends an ICA file to the Citrix Receiver, Which is pointing

to the virtual machine that identified by the hypervisor.

9.Citrix Receiver establishes an ICA connection to the specific virtual machine that was allocated

by the controller for this session

10.Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) verifies the license file with the Delivery controller.

11.Controller queries citrix license server to verify that end user has a valid license

12.Controller passes session policies to the VDA, which then applies session policies to the virtual

Machine 13. Citrix Receiver displays the selected resource to the end user.

Troubleshooting Issues:1. If desktop is in unregistered try to reboot the machine to fix the issue.

2. After restart also still machine is unregistered try to login to Vcenter and check the status of the
machine.

3. If machine is good try to login with the domain account. If it will not allow with domain account

check is there any issue like machine is disjoined from domain or any NIC issues by login with

local account on the machine.

4. If machine is allow to login with domain account but still it is in unregistered

need to reconfigure the VDA agent on the machine.

5. Need to check firewall is properly configured or not 6. Need to check is there any DNS related issues
or not 7. Need to validate the controller is able to ping with FQDN from desktop.

8. Need to check port 80 is opened from controller to VDI.

9. Do “telnet controller name 80” from desktop 10. Do “telnet desktop name 80” from Controller

11. Check is there any time sync issues is there or not

12. Check multiple Network adaptors are added to the machine, sometimes it will make some

communication issues.13. Check Citrix Desktop service is started or not.14. At the end after all checks
