With the release of XenDesktop 7, I’m happily redesigning my home lab environment and implementing all of Citrix’s shiny new offerings. Not only will this sharpen my skills, I’m thinking, but I just registered to take the XenDesktop 7 beta exams I need to play with this stuff right now! In the process, I learned that Citrix is trying hard to phase out as much old technology as possible. Here are a few things I’ve found so far: • To run a licensed XenServer 6.2 or XenDesktop 7 environment, you need to be running (at least) the 11.11 version of Citrix License Server, which no longer runs on Windows Server 2003. Time to upgrade that OS! Remote Access via the Citrix Access Gateway. This guide documents the use of the Citrix Access Gateway, the remote access solution used at Mercy. (Windows, MAC, etc)” button, check the box to accept the License Agreement if it comes up, and then click Continue. • If you want Storefront, you can’t use Citrix Secure Gateway to tunnel external traffic over SSL anymore. Citrix would like you to implement a NetScaler, please – either a physical box or one of the VPX hypervisor appliances. • Web Interface will be end-of-life (EOL) in 2015, so even if you keep that Secure Gateway / Web Interface combo going, please start making other plans. See previous bullet. As I began searching the Internet, I realized there wasn’t a complete “How To Swap My Secure Gateway for NetScaler VPX” guide out there that answered all my various questions in one place. This will be that guide, for anyone else who’s looking. ![]() I based a lot of it on, but they just weren’t complete enough for a NetScaler novice this is my attempt to fix that problem and flesh out what’s missing. Assumptions: Since you’re migrating from Secure Gateway, you like things to be free. Ideally, you’re working in a lab environment with XenServer as your hypervisor (although it doesn’t have to be – these instructions will still work). Finally, you want to keep things simple – you just want this stuff to work! Overview: • • • • • Step 1: Download the NetScaler virtual appliance and VPX Express license key Citrix NetScaler is available as either a physical box or a downloadable virtual appliance. The code is the same, and you can get full functionality out of the VPX version by running it on a hypervisor of your choice. My choice is XenServer, but if you’re using VMware or Hyper-V, just download the appropriate version. • Log in to your account at • Click Downloads. • In the “Find Downloads” box, choose NetScaler ADC and Virtual Appliances. • Under “Release 10.1” (newest as of this writing), choose NetScaler VPX Express. • Scroll all the way to the bottom and download the newest version (10.1. ![]() Build 118.7 as of this writing). • Scroll down a bit further and expand the License section of the page. • Click Get License next to “NetScaler VPX Express License” and copy down the license key. • The license is valid for one year, but you can always return here and download a new license. • VPX Express is designed for low-traffic environments like a home lab. You’ll be capped at 5Mb throughput, allowing only a limited number of users. Step 2: Import the virtual appliance into XenCenter • In XenCenter, right-click your pool and choose Import.
