Creating the Farm Data Store

If you are creating a new farm and plan to use Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, or Oracle for the farm data store, you must create the data store before installing Desktop Delivery Controller.

For more information, see the topics about planning and setting up the farm data store in XenApp.

Data Store Database Requirements

Desktop Delivery Controller supports the following types of database for a farm data store:

  • Microsoft Access:
    • Microsoft Access Jet Database Engine for Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1
    • Microsoft Access Jet Database Engine for Windows Server 2003 x64

    A local Access database is automatically created when you create a new farm, unless you choose to use an existing database server. The database is created in the following location:

    %Program Files%\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture

What a Mess I Made

Grinch — Wed, 07/29/2009 - 18:57

I consider myself pretty good at what I do for a living. I don't make a lot of mistakes, I try and stay current with technology and so on. I am confident in my abilities as a SysAdmin but today was one of those days where I felt like a complete noob.

As I mentioned in a post a while back, we are moving into the virtualization world and so far it has been a pretty cool migration. I have learned a lot and have had some very frustrating days. Today was one of those days.
