The new version of farm commander passed all quality tests for Windows 7.
This mean we are now officially 'compatible with
windows 7'. Both scenario’s were tested: running farm commander on a windows 7 client. And manipulating file systems on a windows 7 computer remotely. As expected Farm Commander passed all tests.

Since Gourami recently took Farm Commander out of BETA, many new people and companies downloaded Farm Commander.
This led to a storm of positive comments. Many people also had ideas on new features. This led to 3 new powerful new features:
- Compare file systems
- Compare installed software
- Reboot manager
Ever had two (on paper) ‘identical Citrix servers’, but on one of these servers you can’t get this application to run? Farm Commander now makes it possible to compare the file systems of two servers. A truly unique feature, which no other tool has. Once the two servers are scanned there is a possibility to apply an include/exclude filter. This enables you to skip ‘documents and settings’ for example. Or to only compare .exe files.
One of the golden rules for proper XenApp management is to keep your servers identical. This seems like an easy task, especially with tools like Installation Manager, Altiris and Wisdom. Experienced administrators know better. It always grows apart. With Farm Commander you get a nice overview of what software is installed on what server. This will enable you to find differences between servers/computers very quickly. This overview can also be exported to CSV for use in excel for example.
A common task for Citrix administrators is rebooting the servers. In previous versions of Farm Commander you had to execute a remote task: shutdown –r. Many people complained about the lack of feedback during this process. This is why we created the Reboot manager. Selected servers will be rebooted/shutdown and Reboot manager keeps track of the outcome. If the servers are really shutdown/come back up.

As of March 2010 the price of the FASe suite is going to rice to 200,00 euro for a Farm License. Thats roughly 260,00 US dollar.
If you were planning to buy a license, we advise you to do so before March. Previously we offered the FASe administration suite below cost price to gain popularity. The discount model remains the same; if you buy 4 licenses you get the 5th for free.

Freebee time again!, Till the end of the year Gourami gives away Farm Monitor!, All you need to do is register.
Inspired by the wishes of actual Citrix consultants who work in the field!, Farm Monitor is designed to keep an eye on all vital Citrix components like:
-Data store
-Data Collector(s)
-License servers
-Every Citrix/XenApp server
-Running services, like the IMA services
Because Citrix relies on many Microsoft components like active directory and file shares, Farm Monitor also keeps an eye on:
-File shares, profiles/home folders
-Active directory
The dashboard overview allows you to see in an instance what’s wrong with your Citrix farm.
Be the first to know when one of your Citrix XenApp servers crashes, this enables system administrators to recognize trends and act swiftly. Prevent outage of your XenApp servers during business hours.
