Whenever I connect to customer site with Citrix Xenapp it takes me around 15-20 minutes for the Remote Desktop Prompt to come up, while for other users it's almost immediate. My connection is faster than theirs(25/4mbps). What is Citrix XenApp doing that's taking mine so long- any guesses?
The IT person at the customer site, said it's because my profile is over 1gb. What is "my profile"? They haven't been able to tell me that. They said I should "clear stuff off my desktop". Whenever I clear my things off the desktop at the customer site, it comes back the next time I login - like undeletes. Are they talking about desktop on their server, or on my local machine?
Thank you for any tips!
The profile being referred to is your Windows Roaming Profile. The most esstenial part of the roaming profile is ntuser.dat, which contains registry information for that user. It also can contain a large amount of data stored in system folders such as the Desktop or My Documents if folder redirection is not enabled.
So what happens when you try and open RDP from the XenApp server is that server requests your roaming profile from another server on the backend and downloads a local copy to the XenApp server. The profile is not sent to your local computer. The beauty of XenApp is that you only see compressed screen updates. So if the XenApp farm is well designed, your roaming profile is on a LAN server on the backend so the roaming profile can be accessed very fast.

I have a working postfix smtp server on my Ubuntu 20.04 cloud machine. I can send/receive emails using the standard command line "mail" client. I am now looking for a way to do the same via web browser. I already am running nginx on the server.
It seems there are various apps such as RoundCube and SquirrelMail that are available on Ubuntu. However, they seem to require additional pop3/imap server packages to be installed.
As the webmail client is intended to be on the same machine as my smtp server is, I do not see why additional pop3/imap packages need to be installed.
Wondering if there is a simpler way to look at emails via web browser. Regards.
You need to install a web server, PHP (or whatever is required to run the webmail app of your choosing), and an IMAP server.
mail is an email client that knows how to directly access your messages on the filesystem, something that a web app has no capability to do. Also note that it is executed from the context of you having already logged in to your server as a particular user.
It's a Very Bad Idea to give your web server read/write access to parts of the filesystem outside the directories where your web-related files are kept (write access can and should be even more strict).
It's technically feasible to create a webmail app that does what you want (I think there may have been some attempts in the distant past), but it would be limited to systems with a very specific mail system setup and require some questionable permission tweaking. IMAP is the layer that abstracts your particular mail system setup from any of the various mail clients you may want to use to access your messages. It also helps make sure users and apps are not able to access things they should not.

Not that I can think of. Fortunately, this will get you most of the way there:
apt-get install dovecot-imapd
Dovecot will need minimal configuration in your case, and more time will be spent installing and tweaking whatever webmail client you choose (or you can try Thunderbird). And remember that the IMAP server can be limited to local clients (webmail counts as such) and need not be exposed to the Internet.
I have created a Tableau site for trial basis.
I do have all privilege for my site.
How do I get server administrator right on Tableau Online?
You can get a brief idea of server and site administrator from below link
https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/sites.htm
The server administrator sets up Tableau Server—they install and upgrade it, configure the services that run on Tableau Server, back it up, and perform other tasks that pertain to running Tableau Server as a whole. Server administrators also create sites as needed. (Site administrators don't have permissions to create sites.)
On local tableau server I am aware of server administrator. For Online tableau I am not aware of server administrator.
I'll try to be clearest as possible as I think this is not a usual situation. If you need more details, please say it.
I work on a company that has an Exchange Server. They provide a laptop which is on company domain and I can connect in Outlook just fine with my company e-mail. If I go home with my company laptop I can connect via VPN to company domain and connect to Outlook just fine as well.
We have a webmail which we can use in ANY untrusted computer on browser, something like webmail.mycompany.com and I just need to put my username and password to connect.
I also have an Android smartphone which is not on domain as well and I can configure it to connect to my company Exchange mail.
However I work on a remote server which is not on company domain (I can't change the domain on the remote server) and I'm trying to configure Outlook on the remote server unsuccessfully...
I'm very confused and wondering:
If I can connect via VPN to my company Exchange mail on Outlook anywhere as long as I have internet access on my company laptop
I can connect to my company Exchange mail on a webmail on browser on any computer (not on company domain) providing username and password.
I can connect to my company Exchange mail on my Android smartphone (not on company domain) by providing the Exchange mail server, username, domain and password.
Question: Is it possible to connect to Outlook in a different domain on a remote server with the information I have?
Thank you!
If an Exchange server is published correctly with ActiveSync enabled, then an device that supports ActiveSync should be able to connect to it. I am contracted out to 4 partner organisations during the week, 1 orgs email is Exchange Online, the others are local exchanges, one each of 2007, 2010, 2013.
I can easily hook up my email accounts to each of these from my phones, outlook 2010 at home (not connected to the domain or VPN) and outlook 2013 in the office (that is domain connected). (For 2 of these orgs my first job was to correctly publish their exchange farm for their employees)
You mentioned a VPN tunnel, if you have to establish a VPN to connect to the exchange then it sounds like it has not been correctly published externally, possibly by design.
The first thing you should do is talk to your Exchange Admin and ask them to confirm or publish the Autodiscover and ActiveSync related services for the exchange you wish to connect to externally, it's quite secure by default and has been designed to be used in this way so you shouldn't get much resistance on this front.
If you are the admin, or just playing along at home, then your next stop should be the Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com , previously testexchangeconnectivity.com... that uses the same protocols that outlook and mobile devices use to connect to MS Exchange, this includes Exchange Online.
If the connectivity analyzer can connect, but your client can't then download the client analyzer from the "client" tab in the connectivity analyzer site. The error prompts are really informative and help to improve your understanding of how the Exchange platform works
Outlook 2010 can only add one domain connected Exchange service at a time, but it can have many activeSync compatible services connected no worries at all. Follow the test results on the connectivity analyzer site described above for guidance, the two most common issues that I come across are:
You primary email alias may not match the autodiscover service. For instance user#email.com might belong to an exchange that is published as 'electronicemail.com' In this case you need to make sure you connect to the exchange service as 'user#electronicemail.com' your default replay to address as configured in exchange will still work as user#email.com, but outlook doesn't know about these details untile after it has established a connection to the exchange server via the autodiscover service.
The other common issue is that the autodiscover service is not contactable externally or does not resolve correctly when you are external. (this happens a lot with Small Business Server and Essential Business server) In these cases you can sometimes make some quick edits to your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to direct outlook to the right server IPaddress to configure the account. If you add a hosts entry for autodiscover.yourEmailDomainName.whateveritis into your hosts file this can often get around issues caused by the organisations public DNS not being configured for exchange.
Note that the hosts solution above can work in many instances for both of these issues

Will I need to make use of a policy file?
Probably, pretty much if you are requesting a resource from anywhere other than the same port and host as where the .swf came from you will probably need a policy server and a crossdomain file.
Edit: The reason for this is security. Imagine you are working at a corperate office behind a firewall browsing the web. A malicious flash ad is on a site you are visiting and starts copying intranet files from your browser (which is behind the firewall) and uploading them to a secret location. The policy server ensures that servers you access want you to access them, and can specify what exactly you are allowed to access.
So I moved a FileMaker database from a machine with FM server 10 to a new machine with FM server 11.
Everything seems to be working, but the problem is it no longer prompts users for a user name and password. It seems to just log them in automatically with their windows user name.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Sounds like you activated external authentication on the FileMaker Server. That means that FileMaker server will try to auth using using an Active Directory or even local windows accounts on the server machine.
Look in the FileMaker Server Admin Console is you enabled External Authentication, if so, deactivate it and restart the FileMaker Service.
