Windows Start Menu not opening anymore with Server 2016

-

At a Customer environment (Server 2016) we had the problem that users who tried to change their personal settings for their start screen to “Use Start full screen” couldn’t open their Start menu after signing in again after logout. Bu it works as long as they are logged in after the settings were changed.

The default view of the menu which the user wants to change


Under Settings - > Personalization -> Start ->Use Start full screen, you need to set the settings to on


Afterwards it will look like this as long as you're signed in


But as soon as you log out and sign in again you can't open your Start Menu again. Nothing happens when you click the Windows symbol.

You need to change the settings back and it will work.


As far as I know there is no fix at the moment for this one.

If you want to export a list of all published applications used in your environment you can do this with PowerShell. First add the Citrix PowerShell snapin: asnp Citrix.* Then run the Command which will export a TXT File which contains the Published Name and the Application Name. This can be extended to almost anything you need. More parameters you'll find in the Citrix Developer Documentation: https://developer-docs.citrix.com/projects/delivery-controller-sdk/en/7.17/Broker/Get-BrokerApplication/ MaxRecordCount 300 extends the output to 300 objects. The default value is 250. If you have more then 250 Applications you need this value.  Get-Brokerapplication -MaxRecordCount 300 | Select-Object PublishedName,ApplicationName | fl >c:\application.txt Then you'll find the TXT file in your specified output folder: It will be displayed like this:

Implementing Single Sign On with NetScaler and Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD)

I wrote a manual how you can realize a Single Sign on Solution with Kerberos KCD and NetScaler. It's possible to restrict the user delegation to certain services/protocols on a server. You'll need this if NetScaler is not knowing the user password. If it knows the user password you can realize the SSO with Kerberos Impersonation. This will be an extra post. Let's start with creating a KCD account. 1. Create KCD Accounts Create KCD Account in AD Password never expires should be chosen 1.1    Enable the delegation tab for this user You can activate it with setspn ( It is available if you have the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) server role installed) Needs to be run from an elevated command prompt setspn -A host/KCDTest@simon.ns simon\KCDTest 1.2 Choose the delegation option Here you need to chose "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only" and also "use any authentication protocol".

Today I will introduce you my new article on how to create a client certificate with OpenSSL so that you can use it for LDAPS You need to create two files in your new folder which we will need later on (I prefer notepad++ for the creation of my files): 1             1.  Your request.inf file 2             2.  Your v3ext.txt file 1.     Request.inf (save as .inf with notepad++) [Version]  Signature="$Windows NT$"  [NewRequest]  Subject = "CN= your-active-diretory.fqdn” f.ex : “simonAD.testinfo.com” (enter the FQDN of your AD Server)  KeySpec = 1  KeyLength = 2048 (enter the key length with fits your need. Some say you need to take at leas 2048 to make LDAPS work)  Exportable = TRUE  MachineKeySet = TRUE  SMIME = FALSE  PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE  UserProtected = FALSE  UseExistingKeySet = FALSE  ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider"  ProviderType = 12  RequestType = PKCS10  KeyUsage = 0
