Tim Kramer Jan 17, 2016

This book states that it is aimed at (at least) the administrator who has some experience with operating XenApp but wants to learn how to implement it. After reading through it, I'd add that it's aimed at the (current or soon-to-be) enterprise administrator (one who has experience with Microsoft's various protocols like Active Directory, DHCP, Kerberos, and similar)Because I'm attempting to learn the entire thing from scratch, I had to research some of the acronyms (FMA, POC lab, etc.). I've worked with vSphere and vCenter, where concepts are familiar but implementation is different enough that I could easily cause problems. Having this book kept me out of trouble.I'd recommend this book to anyone just starting out as a XenApp implementer. The book provides step-by-step procedures (with screen captures) for setting up an instance of XenApp 7.6.

Tim B. Jan 14, 2016

I have to admit that I was kind of tense going into this book but only because I knew how much XenApp has changed from 6.x to 7.x. I didn't know what to expect but I can tell you that I am extremely glad that I picked up this book. Sunny has done a fantastic job with this one. It is over 250 pages of step-by-step and how-to info. There is no fluff at all. It's all "meat and potatoes" as they say. It is a great companion to the other Packt book Getting Started with Citrix XenApp 7.6. After reading both and a very small amount of lab time, I'm confident that I can go get certified tomorrow.

Olaf Sommer Jan 13, 2016

A very good book that concentrates to all themes of the newest Version of Citrix XenApp 7.6. Each chapter gives an overview and deep insight in technical details. Exactly what you need for the daily business. My favorite chapter is about configure Citrix policies. There are some tips I did not know so far. I would buy this book again.
