Citrix Virtual Apps import

[Smitty986]

Hi,

Running the Xenapp server agent from the delivery controller which seems to be working ok

I can see the published apps (created to test the import) in the Compliance database.

Unfortunately we are actually publishing a complete desktop with apps installed - these are not being reported

Is the Citrix import working as it should?

Is there anything that can bring in the published desktop?

Thanks

@Smitty986 - There is a separate Inventory Connector for Citrix Virtual Desktop.  Basically, you need to run a 1-time agent scan on each golden image and import that into FNMS/ITAM.  Then, you connect to the Citrix Broker Server to get the access list of which user has access to which VDI Templates/Images.  Each of these relationships is created as a Remote Device showing the full inventory of software installed on your VDI Desktop Image.

Here is a link to the documentation:

Is this the same for 2022 R1 on premise?

The link you sent is for IT Asset Management (Cloud)

Yes, it is generally the same for FlexNet Manager Suite (on premises).

Here is a link to the equivalent documentation for the FlexNet Manager Suite 2022 R1 release: https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2022R2/EN/InvAdapConn/index.html#adapters/VDI-Adapters/topics/Adp-Overview.html
