In my day-to-day work (audits, project management, project oversight, architecture, …), I usually see Citrix NetScaler ADCs administered by someone else. In my audits, one of my first steps is checking for a consistent naming scheme. NetScalers tend to be chaotic if naming is chaotic. Of course, one can argue that the naming of objects is not essential, but for me, it is also a gauge of how...
© Wikipedia, Creufop There seems to be no way to log events inside partitions, even though there are settings for logging and configuration seems to be right.

It was a blended video, some parts clicking into Citrix NetScaler ADC, some parts white-boarding My second Video was about basic Load-balancing on Citrix ADC (Citrix...

And sometimes an administrator may get lost troubleshooting complex websites, especially sites using content switching. This is an example of a real world website: The portal page is assembled of several independent web applications. Each application is hosted on a specific group of load balanced...
last update: May 5th 2020 We all love to cook in our own Citrix environment. What do we need to be successfull? Well, even though this question may sound funny it is one of the most frequently asked questions in some of these Citrix forums out there. So I like to give an answer: A server, 24 to 32 GB RAM (64 or even 128 GB would be way better, but 32 is fine), round about 2 TB hard disk storage...
