Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

Delivery Groups: New Studio interface for creating machine restart schedules

In earlier releases, you used Studio to create a restart schedule for machines in a Delivery Group. To create multiple schedules, you used PowerShell cmdlets. Now, the updated Studio interface enables you to create and manage one or more restart schedules.

A schedule can affect either:

All of the machines in the group.
One or more (but not all) machines in the group. The machines are identified by a tag that you apply to the machine. This is called a tag restriction, because the tag restricts an action to only items (in this case, machines) that have the tag.

WEM Administration Console Version 1906 – Part 2 (System Optimization, Policies & Profiles and Security)

Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

Now I continue with the second part of the series about the WEM Administration Console. I give an insight into the menu items System Optimization, Policies & Profiles and Security.

System Optimization

These settings are designed to lower resource usage on the agent host machine. They help to ensure that freed-up resources are available for other applications, increasing user density by supporting more users on the same server hardware. The System Optimization settings are machine-based.

When your virtual machines have different hardware configurations, consider creating multiple configuration sets for them, and configuring the system optimization settings differently for each configuration set. Machines can only belong to one configuration set.

WEM Administration Console Version 1906 – Part 1 (Actions, Filters & Assignments)

Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

Here is the first small roundup of the WEM Administration Console and their underlaying setting options.

Requirements

Supported operating systems:

Windows 10 version 1607 and newer, 32- and 64-bit

Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter editions

Known issues until Citrix WEM 1808

A short listing of the older WEM topics that I noticed and can serve as an argument for you to update to WEM 1808.

Intermittent crashes of Norskale Broker Service

If the above service terminates, resources can no longer be distributed from this server. This is due to a memory allocation error that WEM still makes in the earlier versions.
