The XenApp and XenDesktop installation process includes installing:
One or more Delivery Controllers
Citrix Studio
Citrix Director
Citrix StoreFront
Citrix License Server
One or more Citrix Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs)
Optional components and technologies such as the Universal Print Server, the Federated Authentication Service, and Self-Service Password Reset
How can you install components?
Citrix offers choices.
The full-product installer on the XenApp and XenDesktop ISO enables you to deploy many components and technologies. You can also use a standalone VDA installer to install VDAs. These installers offer graphical and command line interfaces. See more information below.
As an adjunct to the installers, the product ISO contains sample scripts that install, upgrade, or remove VDAs for groups of machines in Active Directory. You can also apply the scripts to individual machines and use them to manage master images used by Machine Creation Services and Provisioning Services. For details, see the Install VDAs using scripts article.
As a comprehensive, automated alternative to using the installers directly from the ISO or the standalone installers, Citrix Lifecycle Management uses Citrix Solutions Blueprints to create a XenApp and XenDesktop proof of concept or production deployment. For information, visit the Lifecycle Management product documentation web site.
Information to review before installation
Technical overview: If you're unfamiliar with the product and its components.
Changes in 7.x: If you have a XenApp or XenDesktop deployment earlier than 7.x, and are planning to migrate to the current version.
Security: When planning your deployment.
Known issues: Review issues you could encounter.
Databases: Learn about the system databases and how to configure them. During Controller installation, you can choose whether to install SQL Server Express on that server for use as the Site database. You configure most database information when you create a Site, after you install the core components.
Remote PC Access: If you're deploying an environment that enables your users to remotely access their physical machines in the office.
Connections and resources: If you're using a hypervisor or cloud service to host or provision virtual machines for applications and desktops. You can configure the first connection to a host when you create a Site (after you install the core components). Set up your virtualization environment at any time before then, too.
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager: If you're using ConfigMgr to manage access to applications and desktops, or if you're using the Wake-on-LAN feature with Remote PC Access.
Where to install components
Review the System requirements article for supported platforms, operating systems, and versions for the Controller, Studio, Citrix Director, virtualization resources (hosts), and VDAs. Most component prerequisites are installed automatically; exceptions are noted. See the Citrix StoreFront and the Citrix License Server documents for their supported platforms and prerequisites.
You can install the core components on the same server or on different servers.
