Here's what you'll learn in each video of the Citrix XenApp Presentation
Server 5 Certification Package:
Video 1 - "Introduction to Citrix CCA for XenApp 5.0 and Citrix Certification" -
Citrix XenApp is a singular improvement to Terminal Services, providing improved
management, better network performance, and an improved user experience.
But before you can learn about it, you need to understand what it is. You also
need to understand where Citrix.s CCA certification lies in the landscape of all
Citrix certification. Start out this series on the right foot with an introduction
to XenApp, the CCA, and the CBT Nuggets learning style.
Video 2 - "Understanding the Citrix Architecture" - There are a lot of pieces that
need to work together to make a Citrix XenApp infrastructure, and to properly run
it in your environment you.ll likely be using them all. Before you start any
installations, this nugget will introduce you to the components that make up a Citrix
architecture.
Video 3 - "Installing XenApp" - One of the first steps in any technology insertion
is simply getting it installed to the right servers. XenApp is not a trivial
installation, requiring a number of prerequisites prior to inserting its DVD media.
This nugget explains what you need and how to install it correctly.
Video 4 - "Configuring Citrix Licensing" - Once installed, the next step is setting
up licensing for your XenApp infrastructure. That process leverages the Citrix Licensing
Console and interacting with the MyCitrix website. You.ll need to know how to do both if
you.re to properly license your XenApp farm.
Video 5 - "Configuring Farm Settings" - Farm settings are an important first step in
setting up your infrastructure, because these settings are shared by every server across
your infrastructure. Here you.ll learn what those farm settings are as well as some best
practices learned through years of implementations on how to best configure them.
Video 6 - "Configuring User & Session Settings" - In addition to the farm settings, prior
to letting any users access your environment you must setup their settings as well. Here,
you.ll learn how to configure the ICA protocol itself for best performance, basic security,
and the right level of access for your users.
Video 7 - "Understanding & Applying Citrix Policies" - Like Microsoft.s Group Policy, Citrix
has its own set of policies that enforce settings within your infrastructure. These policies
don.t, however, work in the same way as Group Policies, and they configure different things.
In this nugget you.ll learn how to apply Citrix Policies as well as good pointers on which
ones to turn on.
Video 8 - "Installing and Configuring the Citrix Client" - Any user who wants to connect to
your Citrix infrastructure is going to need a client installed to their desktop or laptop.
But getting those clients installed properly isn.t a trivial activity. You need to know how
to install the clients, how to repackage them for silent installation, and how to configure
their settings so they.ll install with the right settings.
Video 9 - "Tips & Tricks for Installing Applications to XenApp Servers" - No matter if you.re
taking the CCA exam or not, there are some common best practices for getting applications
installed to XenApp servers. In this nugget, we.ll stray from the certification focus for just
a bit to give you the best pointers on how to get your applications installed to your XenApp
servers
