A user asked if Citrix RTT can be seen in ControlUp Solve / Edge. The RTT column is for Blast/RDP, while ICA users should use the "Latency Last" metric. User Input Delay may be the equivalent metric for Citrix RTT, as detailed in ControlUp's blog: https://www.controlup.com/resources/blog/entry/controlup-automation-user-input-delay-vs-citrix-ica-round-trip-time-rtt/.

Help With Logging off Issues in Citrix VDA Environments using ControlUp
A user encountered a 'logging off' status in a Citrix VDA environment. After selecting 'log off' option, the process takes longer than usual and, if the user tries to reconnect the next day, they get a message. ControlUp can help with this situation, either setting an automated action to reboot the system for single sessions, or putting the machine into maintenance mode for multi-session hosts to prevent new connections. In case of one user assigned to the system, killing the processes one by one can help. Further information can be found on Citrix's support article: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX891671/graceful-logoff-from-a-published-application-renders-the-session-in-active-state.

Investigating ‘Down’ State in ControlUp Console User Sessions
When looking at user sessions in ControlUp Console, state "Down" can happen briefly during session logoff. This was observed in 20-30% of session logoffs. The "Down" state can indicate a closed session due to an error, and remote access might be possible via RDP. Users should try this next time the "Down" state appears.

Missing “Client Device Score” icon in ControlUp Solve?
Members discussed the issue of not seeing Client Device Score in ControlUp Solve, and why metrics like Client Wi-Fi Signal, Lan Latency, Total Session Latency, and Internet Latency indicate the score. They concluded that Remote DX must be installed on the endpoints and the registry values need to be deployed. Members also noted that 3rd party software can be tricky with virtual channels, and that the default MSTSC rdp client should be used. Support ticket can be created at support@controlup.com.

Investigating Unreachable ControlUp Agent VMs
This user asked for advice on the issue of VM's becoming unreachable due to Horizon Agent issues, experiencing freezing applications and an inability to console or access the machine once it has reached this state. Causes such as port exhaustion and DNS issues were discussed, as well as suggestions on how to access the system and application log files, and to generate an OS crash dump. It was also suggested to review reassess the configuration and consult other Horizon tech communities. ControlUp historical data and the support article https://support.controlup.com/ docs/controlup-agent-temporary-mode-and-how-to-change-it?highlight=IsTemporary#what-is-the-fix-for-this-problem were also included.

Don’t see local network drive mappings as we are used to see when connecting trough traditional RDP or other RDP managers in ControlUp
A user reported that UNC mapped drives do not appear in the Remote Desktop feature from the Realtime Console, even when the "Drives" option is enabled in the configuration. It was confirmed by @member and understood that waiting on the implementation in Solve in necessary. The user suggested an additional master setting that would allow admins to control pasting in and out of RDP sessions if they wish.

Experiencing Poor Performance in Remote DX on VMs?
Users have experienced poor performance when using ControlUp Remote DX on virtual machines, and wondered if others have had similar issues. It was suggested that they try RDP on a physical machine to test the issue, and to use LDAP or SAML with Solve instead of VNCing through a jump-box. As a workaround, users can minimize their VM for the app they need, which is a little inconvenient, but can make their lives easier.

Missing the “Reconnect ” Option for RDP sessions in ControlUp RealTime DX
The discussion focused on the lack of a "reconnect" option in RealTime DX for managing Remote Desktop sessions when resolution changes occur. The team is currently exploring "Solve Actions" as an option, with additional Edge DX capability in the future. Customers are using Devolutions RDM and its "rdp file association" as a workaround for now. ControlUp RDX stands out as it allows for various credential sets and no additional tooling is needed. Reconnect option can be found when right-clicking on the machine instead of the tab. A tabbed RDP manager using the RealTime Console has many benefits, such as copy/paste of clipboard and files.
