And hey, it’s by repetition that we learn, right?! Let’s start by having a closer look at the main components and services that make up the FMA. Though I guess you guys won’t mind to much. Before we get to the user authentication, resource enumeration and launch section (the ‘putting it all together’ chapter) I’d first like to discuss, in detail the main components that make up the FMA, including a detailed look at each of the 13 (at the time of writing) FMA core services.īecause I will be handling multiple key components there will be a small overlap in the information shared.

As an added bonus, I’ve also thrown in one of my most popular blogposts on the Citrix NetScaler.Īs mentioned, I have included multiple sections of my book and reused and re-written a couple of blogposts that I published throughout the last 8 to 10 months or so, including some fresh new content here and there. I have reused and rewritten some material form my book: Inside Citrix: The FlexCast Management Architecture ( If you haven’t picked up a copy, make sure to do so here ) as well as multiple blogposts that I have written throughout the last couple of months.īuilding upon version 1.0 of the ultimate XenDesktop 7.x internals cheat sheet, version 2.0 includes much more information on the FMA’s main components and core services, including detailed info on the desktop and server VDA’s, StoreFront, Receiver, LHC, ICA/HDX and more.

This document is 71 pages long, consists out of 16 (real) chapters, 40, so-called FMA facts and 24407 words in total, which goes beyond the concept of a cheat sheet, I know. Just so you know what you’ll be getting yourself into, here are some statistics on what’s ahead.
