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.

Create a SQL Maintenance Plan for Citrix DB

SQL Maintenance Plan

The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates jobs for the Microsoft SQL Server Agent. This allows you to perform various database management tasks at specific intervals, e.g. Backups, database health checks or database statistic updates. This should be configured for all SQL databases, as this will prevent the transaction logs from becoming excessively large. Excessively large transaction logs can make the server inefficient and unstable.

Upgrade to Workspace Environment Management Version 1808

A few days ago, Workspace Environment Management (WEM) Version 1808 was published. Below an introduction to WEM and a guide to upgrade to version 1808.
