Citrix Integration

End of Life
Centralis® AXE has reached end of life status. It is no longer available for distribution and there will be no further enhancements. For more information on our latest products, please click here.

AXE3 introduces a new level of integration between ZENworks and Citrix MetaFrame.

Centralis AXE already contains processing rules to enable ZENworks for Desktops administrators to create working application objects from application snapshots on MetaFrame servers. AXE 3 enables administrators to create MetaFrame published applications based on the snapshot, directly from AXE.

This will provide several levels of benefit for ZENworks administrators deploying applications to a Citrix environment.

Specifically, AXE will:

• Clean the snapshot, removing the many unnecessary entries created by taking a snapshot on a Citrix MetaFrame server
• Separate user portion of the snapshot out for a separate install if required
• Populate the Citrix published application details with information from the AXE application object, including title, command line etc.
• Automatically fill in your Citrix published application preferences from global settings for the full range of standard values, including Colour Depth, Windows Size, Encryption Level and Audio settings
• Automatically assign user rights to the Citrix published application from the AXE application object or allocate them from eDirectory or Domain
• Allow the administrator to use either the application executable or a NAL command line to launch the application
• Create the ZENworks application object and the Citrix published application in a single operation from the snapshot, or update them with your latest changes

All of this can be done from within Centralis AXE, without using the Citrix Management Console, Microsoft Management Console, or Novell’s ConsoleOne.
