XenApp 6 Tuning Group Policy for Windows 2008 R2
By Trond Eirik Haavarstein 14/07/2010 – 09:33
I have posted a new Tuning Policy for Citrix XenApp 6 available in the Download section of this blog. Most of the registry keys have been imported from the previous Terminal Server & XenApp Tuning Tips Group Policy v1.1. There are some Group Policy Best Practices templates around, but the power of mine are that they are ready to go. There are no extra configuration required.
Remember that UPHClean is natively embedded into Windows 2008 and later and it’s recommended to Disable Data Execution Prevention on Windows 2008. This can be done with this command : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
Change log :
- Moved keys from HKLM\Software to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
- Added more StubPath’s to speed up the profile creation for new users
- Added instructions on How To Import the settings in GPMC within the zip file
- Deleted “WFDontAppendUserNameToProfile“
- Deleted “NoRemoteChangeNotify“

Note :
Please note that these policy’s are provided “as is” and that using these is at your own risk. Please feel free to leave comments below regarding bugs & suggested improvements in future releases.

Can you explain why you remove those two keys. Should we keep them if we apply those hotfix from Microsoft to optimized things up?

Hi Martin,
The first policy only applies to mandatory profile for Windows 2003. The reason why I removed “NoRemoteChangeNotify” is simple. You could get some better network performance on WAN, but the user experience gets worse. If this setting is on and the user creates a document on a network drive, he’ll need to press F5 to see the document.

When I try to import the gpo I get a version error.

Hi Martin,
Are you following the instructions in the pdf that’s included in the zip file ? Make sure to do this with GPMC on a Windows 2008 Server.
