Kevin Goodman and Brian Madden created a huge colorful poster that is a very detailed flowchart of all the steps that take place when a user logs on to a Citrix server. You can download that poster here.

Kevin Goodman and I spent some time together last month and put together this huge, poster-sized, very detailed chart that details the entire Citrix logon process. It was for a session that we gave at BriForum a few weeks ago. And of course, now that we're done, we're releasing it for free!

You can get this thing right now be clicking the links at the top of the article. The 150dpi version should be good enough for you to view on your screen. The 300dpi version is good enough to print out.

In case you don't have a spare poster printer at your disposal, we made this poster available via our Cafe Press store. You can order it online for $20 and you'll receive it in a few days. (It's about 2 feet x 3 feet in size!)

So print this out and stick it on your cubie wall. That way when your clueless boss comes by and tells you that logons are slow, you can just say (pointing to the wall), "Sure! Just let me know which part and I'll get right on that!"

I'm sure that we'll find errors in this, and there are some parts that we want to flesh out, but overall this is pretty solid.
