Citrix Provisioning

Farm tasks

The farm is initially configured when you run the Configuration Wizard. The wizard prompts you for the farm’s name, a store, and a device collection. When you first open the Console, those objects display in the tree.

The wizard also prompts you for more farm information such as the name of the license server, your user account information, and those servers that can serve the bootstrap file to target devices. You can always rerun the wizard to change settings. You can also choose to make farm configuration changes using the Farm Properties Dialog.

A farm administrator can view and manage all objects in any farm to which they have privileges. Only farm administrators can perform all tasks at the farm level.
