Both can introduce management overhead and can be tedious to maintain especially if the organization is invested in another software distribution platform. Servers may have dozens of applications published to them and manually managing these applications is time consuming and impractical.Īt the moment, organizations have the option of using Citrix’s Installation Manager or third party solutions such as Enteo’s Citrix Management Suite to assist in automating these tasks. One of the challenges in maintaining and managing a large scale XenApp farm is automating application publishing.
