Installing Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSRThis is a step-by-step guide on how to install Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR using the GUI in an on-premises environment. We will also install the different infrastructure servers required for a XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR deployment. That includes setting up a VMware virtualization environment, so we can use a host connection to auto-provision machines in machine catalogs.Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR Architecture and Components were explained in?this blog post.?.Navigation1.?Prerequisites2.?Install the Citrix License Server3.?Install the SQL Server instance4.?Install the Delivery Controllers5.?Create the XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR Site6.?Add a second Delivery Controller to the site7.?Create a host connection on the site8.?Install Virtual Delivery Agents9.?Create Machine Catalogs10.?Create Delivery Groups11.?Install Citrix StoreFront12.?Test your deployment???1. Prerequisites???The test lab in this guide will comprise of four Windows Server 2016 servers, and they will perform the following roles. You should dedicate 2GB ram to each server.DC01:?This will be Domain Controller in the domainServer02:?This will be the database server, where we will install a SQL Server 2016 Database Engine instance, and store the XenDesktop databases. We will also install the Remote Desktop Licensing role service, Citrix Licenser Server and Citrix StoreFront on it. This is to consolidate the different roles as much as possible in the test lab.DDC01:?This will be the first Delivery Controller in the site.DDC02:?This will be the second Delivery Controller in the site.We will also install Citrix Studio and Citrix Director on DDC01 and DDC02.All servers are connected to the same subnet, 192.168.0.0/24If you are going to set up a VMware virtualization environment too, then you will need two additional servers, which will require an additional 12GB of ram. So in total you will need a minimum of 20GB ram to have a fully functional test lab. One of the servers in the VMware virtualization environment will be an ESXi host, which will run virtual machines serving as Virtual Delivery Agents.???.?2. Install the Citrix License Server??We are going to perform this installation on Server02. Just click the links, and you can view the blog post, which details the installation of the different components.2.1?Installing Remote Desktop License Server. Install it completely as outlined in the blog post. But if you are just going to build a test lab, you obviously don’t have to Install RD CALs.Installing Remote Desktop License Server on Windows Server 2016In this blog post we will look at how to install and activate a Remote Desktop License Server on Windows Server 2016. We will also review the two different types of CALs, and how to install CALs on the RD License Server. Finally, we will look at how to designate specific License Servers to RD Session Host Servers, through PowerShell and Group Policy.If you don’t have Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs), your users will not be able to connect to a remote desktop session host server, after the initial grace period of 120-days expires. To install Remote Desktop Services CALs, you first need to install Remote Desktop Licensing. This is a role service of the Remote Desktop Services role on Windows Server 2016. You can use RD Licensing to install, issue, and track the availability and usage of licenses.If you have Windows Server 2016 session host servers, then the RD Licensing role service must be installed on a Windows Server 2016 machine, because 2016 RDS CALs can only be installed on a Server 2016 RD license server.Citrix XenApp also relies on a RD license server. Because what XenApp essentially does, is to extend the capabilities of the Microsoft Remote Desktop session host server. Each time a user connects to a XenApp session, he is also connecting to a Remote Desktop Session. So you will need licenses for both XenApp and RDS.Keep in mind, the license server we set up in this blog post, will only be used to issue licenses to session host servers that will host shared desktops and deliver applications in a Citrix XenApp environment. Such a deployment will only have RD session host servers and license server(s). There will be no Remote Desktop Connection Broker.?Navigation1.?Installing the Role Service2.?Activating the server3.?Types of CALs4.?Install CALs5.?Specify Licensing Mode and License server for RD Session Host Servers??.?1. Installing the Role Service?Before you start, you should add the designated license server to the?Terminal Server License Servers?group in Active Directory. Otherwise, you will not be able to issue RDS Per User CALs to users in the domain, and?you will not be able to track or report the usage of RDS Per User CALs on the License Server.1.1?Start the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Server Manager1.2?Click Next1.3?Select Role-based or feature-based installation, click Next1.4?Select the local server, click Next1.5?Select Remote Desktop Services, click Next1.6?Click Next1.7?Click Next again1.8?Select Remote Desktop Licensing (click Add Features when prompted), click Next1.9?Click Install1.10?Click Close when the installation is finished?.?2. Activating the server??The license server must be activated to issue RD CALs.2.1?In Server Manager, Click?Tools?→?Remote Desktop?Services?→?Remote Desktop Licensing Manager2.2?Right click the server name, and select Activate Server2.3?Click Next2.4?Select desired connection method. I’m selecting Automatic connection, which connects to the Microsoft clearinghouse over the internet, by using https. If your license server does not have access to the internet, you can also choose to activate it through the web browser (of another computer, which is connected to the internet) or over telephone. Click Next2.5?You will be requested to provide some information about yourself. These four fields are required, so enter information for each field2.6?These fields are optional. Click next when you are ready2.7?The server will be activated2.8?You can start the Install Licenses Wizard if you like from this page, but I chose not to2.10?If you right-click the server name, and select Review Configuration, you can review the configuration of the RD license server.?.?3. Types of CALs??Each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host needs a client access license (CAL). There are two types of Client Access Licenses available in this type of setup.Per Device CALsThese are permanent CALs assigned to any computer or device that connects to an RD Session Host Server more than once. The first time a computer or device connects to an RD Session Host, its by default issued a temporary license. The second time a computer or device connects to an RD Session Host, the license server issues it a permanent RDS Per Device CAL, if the license server is activated and enough RDS Per Device CALs are available. In other words, Per Device CALs can not be overallocated, meaning if you have 15 CALs, only 15 devices will be able to make a connection to session hosts.Per User CALsPer User CALs give users right to access Remote Desktop Services from any number of devices. They are not assigned to users permanently like Device CALs are to devices. Rather they are valid only for a set period of time, and are assigned to the user account in Active Directory. Licensing for Per User CALs is not enforced, so they can be overallocated, meaning even if you only have 15 CALs, more than 15 users will be able to make a connection to session hosts. So its up to you to ensure that you stay in compliance with the Microsoft RDS Licensing agreement.?.?4. Install CALs??4.1?Right-click server, and select Install Licenses4.2?The connection method you used during activation is retained (to change it, use the properties dialog box of the license server). Click Next4.3?Select appropriate License Program, and then click next.4.4?The next few steps will depend on the license program you selected in the previous step. These are the steps for Enterprise Agreement4.5?Enter Agreement number, click Next4.6?Select Product Version, license type and quantity of licenses to install onto the license server. Then click Next and follow the wizard to complete the license installation process.The license server can now issue RDS CALs to clients.?.?5. Specify Licensing Mode and License server for RD Session Host Servers??The Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration Tool was removed in Windows Server 2012 R2, and isn’t present in Server 2016 either. So you will have to specify licensing mode and licensing server through other means. Since we are not dealing with a full-blown deployment of Remote Desktop Services here, but rather just session host servers that we will use for the purpose of hosting shared desktops and deliver applications on Citrix XenApp, we can not define the licensing server in Server Manager. Rather, we will have to use either PowerShell or Group Policy.?5.1 Through PowerShell?Run the following three cmdlets in PowerShell on the session host server1$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting1$obj.ChangeMode(4)1$obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("server03.")In cmdlet number two, the value of 4 specified that the licensing mode will be Per User. If you want to use Per Device licensing mode, then you will have to enter 2 instead.Finally, run this cmdlet to verify that the specified license server was set correctly.1$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()?5.2 Through Group Policy?The settings can be found in the following location, and they are self-puter Configuration?→ Policies → Admin Templates → Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → Remote?Desktop Session Host → Licensing(The configured GPO must be linked to your session host servers)Another interesting setting can be found at the following locationComputer Configuration → Policies → Admin Templates →Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → RD?LicensingWith this setting you can control which RD Session Host servers are issued RDS CALs by the license server. It must be configured in a GPO that is applied to the license server.?5.3 Remote Desktop Licensing Diagnoser?You can use RD Licensing Diagnoser to check licensing configuration details for a session host server. You can also use it to help identify possible licensing problems.Upper portion gives information about licensing configuration details on the session host server.Middle portion gives diagnostic information and suggested resolutions for any problems.Lower portion gives information on which license servers the session host is configured with.2.2?Installing Citrix License Server??Installing Citrix License Server 11.14 for Windows.?This is a step-by-step guide on how to install Citrix License Server Version 11.14 for Windows. Importing licenses to the License Server will also be covered in this guide. Citrix products require licenses for users to connect successfully and depend on communication with the license server. When users connect to a Citrix product, it requests to check out a license from the License Server on behalf of the user or client device. When the license is successfully checked out, the user can run the product.In terms of XenDesktop, the License server communicates with the XenDesktop Delivery Controller to manage licensing for each user’s session and with Studio to allocate license files. There are two types of licenses,? User/Device,?A user license allows a single user access from an unlimited number of devices, while a device license allows an unlimited number of users access from a single device. The license server will decide for you if you’ll use a user or a device license, and it will ensure that the smallest amount of licenses required are allocated.? Concurrent,?This type of licenses are not tied to a specific user or machine. The License is rather tied to a specific user/device combination, and its valid for the duration of the session. If the session ends, the license is returned to the license pool. If a user connects from two different devices, he will consume two licenses.In XD 7.6 LTSR only one type of license can be used within a site, so you have to choose between user/device or concurrent. XenApp only supports concurrent licenses, while XenDesktop supports both types. Obviously if you install XenDesktop licenses (Platinum or Enterprise edition), then you have access to both XenApp and XenDesktop features.In XD 7.15 LTSR you can use concurrent and/or user/device licenses within the same site, configured on a per Delivery Group basis, through Multi-type Licensing.The minimum supported version of the License Server is 11.12.1 for XD 7.6 LTSR,and 11.14.0 for XD 7.15 LTSR. Supported platforms you can install Citrix License Server 11.14 on are Windows Client/Server versions from Win7/2008R2 to Win10/2016. Citrix recommends to install the License Server on a server OS. License Servers cannot communicate with each other.?Navigation1.?Installation of Citrix License Server 11.142.?Obtaining Licenses3.?Importing the license file to the license server?.?1. Installation of Citrix License Server 11.14?If you are going to install the License Server by running the standalone install file, then you will have to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or greater before installing the License Server. Otherwise you can just run the setup from the XenDesktop 7.15 ISO. The version included with XD 7.15 ISO is?11.14.0.1_BUILD_211031.1?Launch AutoSelect.exe from the XD 7.15 LTSR ISO1.2?On the Manage Your Delivery screen, click Start on XenDesktop1.3?Select to install Citrix License Server1.4?Accept the license agreement, then click Next1.5?Click Next1.6?Select to automatically create the rules for the License Server ports in the Windows Firewall, click Next??License Server Port (27000),?The license server manager uses this port. License server manager handles the initial communication between the products, starts the vendor daemon, and relays check out and check in requests to the vendor daemon??Vendor Daemon Port (7279),?The Citrix vendor daemon is a process that runs on the License Server. Its responsible for the core operations of the license server, including allocation of licenses to Citrix products.??Management Console Web Port (8082),?The port used to connect to the License Administration Console??Web Services for Licensing Port (8083),?Web Services for Licensing enables Studio, Director, and the Licensing Administration PowerShell Snap-in to communicate with the License Server and manage users. Allocate and install licenses. Display License Server health, license usage, and other alert messages. Port 8083 is also used to connect to Citrix Licensing Manager.The Windows firewall exceptions consist of allowing all inbound TCP connections, on any port for the following three programs1.7?Click Install on the Summary page1.8?And you are finished installing the product?.?2. Obtaining Licenses?2.1?Log on to your account at 2.2?If you want to retrieve XenDesktop evaluation licenses, click on Previews/Betas – License Retrieval2.3?Under XenDesktop Evaluation, click on Retrieve more Licenses2.4?After the licenses have been retrieved, click on one of the licenses2.5?You will get this warning. Click Continue2.6?Enter Host ID of the license server. This is obviously the computer name of the license server, and it is case sensitive. So remember to enter it correctly.2.7?Then follow the procedure as outlined by Citrix. In the end, you will download a .LIC file.?3. Importing the license file to the license server?You have two options for this. You can either use Citrix Licensing Manager, or Citrix License Administration Console.The License Administration Console can only manage the License Server on the computer on which it is installed. It cannot manage remote or third party License Servers. The Citrix Licensing Manager can install licenses only on the License Server where it is installed. The consoles can be accessed from any server or client operating system using a web browser.??3.1 Citrix License Administration Console (port 8082)?3.1.1?When you start the console, you will be presented with the Dashboard. Here you can view the type of Licenses you have installed on the server, and any alerts that might be on the License Server.3.1.2?Click on Administration, and you can log on to the Administration Console3.1.3?Click the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab3.1.4?Click Import License3.1.5?Browse to the License file3.1.6?Click Import License3.1.7?Click OK3.1.8?Click Administer in the Citrix vendor daemon line.3.1.9?Click Reread License Files to allow the License Server to recognize the new file. Users can begin using these licenses when the License Server reads the licenses.3.1.10?Click Log Out. You will be back at the Dashboard, where you can view the licenses that have been added to the License Server3.1.11?The license file is imported to the following location,?C:\Program Files(x86)\Citrix\Licensing\MyFiles?3.2 Citrix Licensing Manager (port 8083)3.2.1?When you start the Licensing Manager, you will be presented with the Historical Use tab. Click on Install Licenses.3.2.2?Select Use downloaded license file, then click on Choose File and browse to the license file.3.2.3?Click Import3.2.4?The license file will be imported3. Install the SQL Server instance???This installation will also be performed on Server023.1?Installing SQL Server 2016Remember to create a rule in the Windows Firewall, which allows all incoming traffic on port 1433 on Server02.??Installing SQL Server 2016This is a step-by-step guide on how to install Microsoft SQL Server 2016 SP1. You can use this guide to install the Microsoft SQL Server instance, where you will store the database for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR, or any other application you like. We will only install the Database Engine Services in this guide. This is also quite a generic installation.??Navigation1.?Install SQL Server 20162.?Install SQL Server Management Studio 17.1??.?1. Install SQL Server 2016??SQL Server 2016 RC1 and later require .NET Framework 4.6 for the Database Engine, Master Data Services, or Replication. SQL Server 2016 setup automatically installs .NET Framework. I’m performing this installation on Windows Server 2016.1.1?Start Setup.exe1.2?Click Installation, and then click New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation.1.3?Specify the edition you are installing by selecting one of the free editions or entering the product key for the edition you have purchased. Click Next1.4?Accept the license terms, click Next1.5?Make your selection, click Next1.6?I’m installing SQL Server 2016 in a test lab, without an internet connection, so I’m just going to click Next1.7?Click Next on the Install Rules screenMicrosoft .Net Application Security WarningThe machine I’m installing SQL Server on, does not have a connection to the internet. Therefore I’m getting this warning.Windows Firewall WarningYou can see a list of Firewall ports used by the SQL server in?this article on Technet.1.8?Next up is the Feature Selection Screen. Select Database Engine Services, click Next.1.9?You can choose to install a named instance, or install a Default instance. Since this is a test lab, I’m just going to install a Default instance, and keep the Default Instance ID, MSSQLSERVER. For more information, see?Instance Configuration.The default instance will of course utilize port 1433 for remote connections. So make sure to create an exception for that port in the Windows Firewall.1.10?(Again) Since this is a test lab, I’ll just use a domain user account for all services. See?Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions?for best practice related to service accounts for SQL Server.1.11?On the Collation page you can specify non-default collations for the Database Engine Services we are installing. For more information, see?Collations and Unicode Support.I’m just keeping the default collation, because XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR sets the correct collation on the databases when they are created. Click Next.1.12?Specify which authentication mode you would like to use for the Database Engine, then specify SQL server administrators. Click Next.As you can see I’m selecting Windows authentication mode, and I’m choosing to specify a domain group. The group I have specified will be given the sysadmin role on the instance. Which means that I can just add members to that Active Directory group, whenever I need to give someone administrative access to the Database Engine on this SQL Server instance.In terms of XenDesktop, Windows authentication is required for connections between the Delivery Controller and the SQL Server Site database.1.13?Click Install.1.14?Click Close.?.?2.
