Failed to launch virtual desktop: Socket Error 10051
image.png

Resolution

Disable DNS resolution from the DDC site by the below PowerShell command:
asnp Citrix*
Set-BrokerSite -DnsResolutionEnabled 0

Problem Cause

DNS resolution is enabled on DDC, as a result, .ica file will contain VDA's fqdn instead of IP address.
While DNS server is not configured on client side, it cannot resolve VDA's fqdn.
