About Citrix Workspace Environment Management Console Version 1906.0.1.1

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.

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.
