    NFuse Failover

    Hi Petje/Jaymz thanks for your responses. Unfortunately neither of them is really ideal for my situation. NLB would be a good fit for most networks unfortunately this particular one is run across 64k mpls, I need to properly control (and limit) unnecessary traffic that goes across those lines so...

    Disk drive activation under citrix

    I've seen this happen if you are running certain virus scanners. Also it can happen if the last saved file went to the floppy drive

    NFuse Failover

    Guys I need to find a way to configure an ica address in such a way that the client recieves two different destination ip's for one netbios or dns name. Basically I need to configure Citrix's web interface at a spoke site with a failover (not load balanced)of functionality at a central site...

    Metaframe XP Problem

    During a period when the server is not accepting connections can you see if there are any idle sessions open. These will be sessions that only show up on the sessions tab and have no user name but the word idle in brackets as their name. Don't confuse these with sessions which are idle user...

    Metaframe XP Problem

    I have experienced a similar problem. With a XPa farm that was built to replcae a 1.8 farm. It is not running in mixed mode and never has been. Both the 1.8 servers are on a different subnet and have been disabled. I have found that I can resolve the server names using either fqdn or netbios...

    IMA Service leaking memory

    I have 6 machines in an XPe farm running against a SQL database. Every machine is windows 2000 with SP3 (yeah I know bad move) MDAC 2.7 The problem I have is this, gradually over the course of the day the memory allocated to imasrv.exe grows from an initial 8 ish MB to 40-50MB if I leave the...

    Properly disconnecting or logging off XP FR2?

    The correct way to end a citrix session is to just use the logoff option on the startmenu of the client. If you are using a published application choosing file and exit on the application has the same effect. If your users are already doing this then take a look at you network card settings make...

    NT USER PROFILE PROBLEMS AFTER USING CITRIX

    I have experienced numerous problems with profiles created on windows nt being used on win 2k and visa versa. Specifically outlook/mapi and odbc things going awry. I agree with chrism0n terminal server profiles are far better.

    Citrix + vpn

    Yes this is quite easily done. If you intend to use another machine as a vpn gateway or you have dedicated vpn hardware you won't even need to modify the citrix server. If you want to use citrix via a web browser take a look at Citrix Nfuse or Citrix Secure Gateway

    CMC on Windows 98

    You can run it but it's a huge resource hog. I've done it once but can't remember exactly how. I think I had to update the java virtual machine and the odbc drivers on the machine.

    Renaming an XP Farm ?

    It can be done but you will need to build a new farm and migrate your servers into it. Assuming you are using SQL as a datastore the easiest way to do this is to create a new database. Build a new server, during install select the option to create new farm and define the odbc connection for the...

    Citrix Licence - Registry?

    Do you mean the terminal services client licence? If so it's stored in HKLM\software\microsoft\mslicensing\store\licensexxx where xxx is a number between 000 and 999.

    Separate Citrix server justification

    The way I like to look at this question is this. Is the application something I would install on a users desktop? If it is then it is reasonable to assume that running it in a metaframe environment is ok. If it is not and I think it's fair to say SQL isn't then I would sepperate them every time.

    Best Practices for user accounts (can groups be used)?

    If a domain trust exists then you can just create a group I would do this. It makes admin easier as well you don't have to keep changing acls and modifying users etc etc you can just add them to a group and then remove them at will.

    Rebuild MF XP server because of W2K Upgrade?

    I can't see any good reason why this should be so. I've certainly done it several times both in the lab and in production and it all goes well. What were the specific reasons given?

    Alternative to Citrix

    Schlogg, going back to your message on Nov 19th you mentioned that all of your problems started when you installed citrix. If I read this correctly you imply that you installed citrix over an existing NT file server. If you did this is almost certainly the root of all your problems. The only...

    Problem Installing NT server

    If you are using a Raid controller generally NT doesn't recognise this. The Scsi controller it's detecting is probably an embedded one not the same chain as your drives are connected to. To work around this you need to do the following. First get hold of a copy of the RAID controller drivers...

    Printing bandwidth??!!

    I'm fairly certain that you will only see problems with clients slowing to a crawl during printing when you have limited bandwidth. Ie dial-up or slow VPN etc etc. The ICA protocol will scale above the typical 10-20kps if it can. Although I'm not sure of it actual limit, 10-20kps is a typical...
