We are excited to offer this 4-day training which includes both the XenDesktop Advanced Sales Workshop for partner sales resources, as well as a Desktop Virtualization Boot Camp for partner technical resources. The combination of these offerings will give our partner community both the sales and technical skills needed to be successful in selling Citrix XenDesktop 4.

Attendees will learn how to identify the right opportunities, use cases and business initiatives to drive increased XenDesktop sales in the competitive desktop virtualization market.

What you should know.

Temporary login credentials will be assigned at the time of the scheduled eLab for which you have registered. These login credentials are only good at the time of the event and cannot be used in the future.

When you log in to Citrix University, you will be connected to a Web Interface page. From this page, you will be able to launch a XenDesktop from which you will do your lab work in Citrix University.

If Web Interface cannot detect a suitable XenApp or XenDesktop client or plugin, Web Interface will present you with a page with a Download button. This button will take you to the Citrix website where you can download a suitable XenApp or XenDesktop client.

If you already have a XenApp or XenDesktop client and you receive the page with the Download button, click the Already Installed link on the right side of the page.

If you are using Microsoft Windows, the best client to use for Citrix University is the Desktop Receiver v11.100. This client will give you the XenDesktop toolbar which allows you to resize your XenDesktop in a window.

The Desktop Receiver will not install on a machine that already has the XenApp plugin (11.0 or earlier). Either you can remove the XenApp plugin first and then install the Desktop Receiver, or, you can use the XenApp plug-in you already have.

If you use the XenApp plugin, your XenDesktop will be presented to you in full-screen mode. You can use the function key combination of Shift-F2 to allow you to resize the XenDesktop so that you can access your local operating system.

If you are using a Macintosh, install the XenApp client for Mac OS X, v10.00.603. This will allow you to launch your XenDesktop in full-screen mode, but you can access your local operating system by placing your mouse over the Dock at the bottom of the screen, or over the Menu at the top of the screen.

For Windows users, download the client HERE
