A Citrix Systems Administrator installs, configures, and manages Citrix software, including XenDesktop. This includes integrating Citrix with a company's operating system, ensuring the network functions properly, and deploying a virtual environment as needed. They monitor the security of each system and restore computers to an earlier state if a problem occurs. Employers may also ask a Citrix Systems administrator to analyze the effectiveness of Citrix software for their business, create training plans, and optimize systems for the deployment, configuration, or maintenance of Citrix.
