As always, for all of your Citrix, Microsoft and VMware needs, Geeksultant is your I.T. Consultant of Choice!

Yesterday, while trying to review the GUI configuration on a NetScaler running firmware 10.1, I was
unable to access it from any modern browser (IE 11, Edge, Chrome and Firefox) or the current 8.x
version of Java. Tried from my Windows 10 workstation and from some 2012R2 and 2008R2 servers.
To access the NetScaler GUI with these older version of 10.x and prior firmware, you’ll need a 7.x Java
version and IE 11 (with no updates) or earlier.

Here is how I finally created a jump server that works.

Can you believe it? Citrix has announced that the very next version of XenApp and XenDesktop will have up to a 60% reduction in bandwidth?

This is incredible news and leap frogs VMware in one giant leap. This alone is enough to sway anyone looking for VDI today.
