Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops – Grey Screen after upgrading to newest VDA (Mostly Windows Server 2022)

January 22, 2024 by AJNI No Comments

Roughly a year ago I had an issue with grey screen on Windows Server 2022 with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. A script helped clear out some registry key but there seem to still be problems with sessions with grey screens. Check out my post from last year: https://www.ajni.it/2023/03/citrix-virtual-apps-and-desktops-2203-grey-screen-connectionfailure-in-eventviewer/

There is a new fix that seems to be better and does not clear any registry keys. Instead it activates Citrix Universal DLL Injection. After upgrading the VDA, make sure this value is set:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CtxUvi]
“UviEnabled”=dword:00000001

This helped in my environment.

Exchange Online and On Prem save Sent Mails through Send As or Send on Behalf in the Shared Mailbox

January 8, 2024 by AJNI No Comments

By default, if you send a mail on behalf of a Shared Mailbox, the sent item will be saved in the user’s primary mailbox and not the shared mailbox. If you want to change it to expected behaviour, i.e. save the items in the Shared Mailbox, execute following command. This works in Exchange Online and Exchange OnPrem.

set-mailbox -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $True

set-mailbox -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $True

Exchange On-Prem Remove internal Exchange Server Names and IPs from Message Headers

January 1, 2024 by AJNI No Comments

By default on an on prem Exchange 2013/2016/2019 environment, internal server names are displayed in the message header analyzer, which you would not want to expose externally.

This is how it would look like:

To remove that information, execute this command in the Exchange Powershell. Make sure you have the right Send Connector Name.

Get-SendConnector “Internet” | Remove-ADPermission -User “NT Authority\ANONYMOUS LOGON” -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-Send-Headers-Routing

And now this is how it looks like:
