Office 2013 and Citrix XenApp 6.5 best practice

[News Bot]

Hello all,

We are currently in a XenApp 6.5 environment and have Office 2010 installed on our servers for our clients. We are in the process of upgrading to Office 2013 and I have been scouring the Internet for any information related to this before moving forward.

I found various articles of users mentioning that Office 2013 would use almost all of their server's resources and clients would be unhappy with the change. However, most of these articles date back to 2013 and they don't mention whether or not the

issue is fixed. I'm hoping that with all of the updates released since then, that the issues may have been fixed.

I was hoping I could get some feedback regarding installing Office 2013 on a Citrix environment. What would be the recommended server's requirements (not the Microsoft recommended requirements)? Should we disable certain features of Office?

Are there known issues with Office 2013?

If you need more information to be able to help, please let me know.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

James
