AppExpert applications and templates

Citrix provides templates that can be downloaded from their website. These templates simplify deployment of services. They include load balancing rules, compression, redirecting, caching rules, and so on. The template can be found at http://www.citrix.com/static/appexpert/appexpert-template.html.

Note that AppExpert templates are based on the default settings from Citrix and require adjustments before they can be used in a production environment. The AppExpert Templates feature is available under the AppExpert menu. After downloading the template from the URL mentioned previously, we can import the template and the deployment file. This can be done by clicking on Import Template under the Applications pane in the AppExpert menu:

1. Fill in Application Name. In this case, we're implementing the Microsoft Exchange template, so the name should be something like MicrosoftExchange.
2. Upload the template file and, if necessary, the deployment file.
3. Click on Continue...
