I have people asking me to get them updates for these old out of support products!
Dane Young's script is the standard and supports XenApp 5 up to XenDesktop 7.1. http://blog.itvce.com/?p=79?

I'll see your three MF PS4s, and raise you a MF PS3 :-) On 25 February 2014 15:39, Webster <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: XA and TS and RDS "can" need frequent reboots. If you are still on PS4 (you will be the third I have come across this week), then those servers may require daily reboots. There were so many memory leaks and abandoned processes back then that nightly reboots were almost mandatory. The reboot requirement was so common Citrix added that ability into the products themselves starting with XenApp 5 for Server 2008 and then XenApp 6 and XenApp 6.5.

I ask because I have XA fundamentals XA PS4 , 2008r2 RDS and 2012 RDS servers I maintain.

From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> On a XenApp server, a weekly reboot is probably not enough. Most I've seen are on 48-hour or even 24-hour reboot schedules. The multi-user nature of the things (which means users invariably leave hung sessions, abandoned sessions, runaway processes) more or less necessitates this as a support function. So XenApp would get rebooted (physical or virtual) but I wouldn't do it for any other server. My two cents' worth.

Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 07:35:26 -0500 I'm trying to get some straight information on doing maintenance reboots of virtual systems. Some people I've talked to say yes, others say no. I've been doing systems admin work for a long time now, but only recently have had to get up close and personal with VM's on ESX hosts. Yes? No? Why or why not? Learning new stuff is a good thing.
