What changed? Have you installed any patch or driver update??
Do your users have the ability to install applications?
Disable the screensavers and backgrounds.
Or do not publish the desktop, just the apps.
Otherwise have the execs support the system. LOL. [evil]
The name does not need to be made public. This is just a CERT. Certs are tied to a name not an IP address. You can not have a cert issued to www.externalsite.com and have that certificate issued to a user accessing that system with access.internalsite.com.
You do have options though. You...
What version of the ICA client are you using? The 7.1 client had some issues that were fixed in 8.0. You may want to try a older client or the new client.
I am assuming (you were not clear in your message) you are running win2k sp4 with citrix xp fr 3.
If this is your configuration, then your doomed %-(
There are so many issues with this type of configuration that I would recommend you rethink your installation configuration.
We went through...
It all depends on the Clients perspective. What you may want to do is suggest the citrix solution as an interum step while the new application is written. Citrix is not that expensive. for 20user xpa your looking @ ~$5k-8k.
This will keep all happy.
Good luck
read the MFXP-advanced concept PDF. This has all the info you need.
you basically, copy the file, add the ODBC config, point the servers using the dsmaint util to the new server, reboot.
Sounds like your having a time of it! :-( Your going through a growing pain. Citrix is a great solution that does take a while to get running well. But once you get it to that point, you are good as gold.
One point of recomendation. Do not try and do it all at once. Pick an app or 2 and...
What ever you do, do not install sp 4 on W2k with xp fr-3. [thumbsdown] It causes nothing but overtime. Be warned that it may appear to run fine for a month. Then all of a sudden the systems just crap out. You start having issues with logons, profiles, systems hanging. Another fine example...
Set up a test user as power-user and see if that works. If not, more then likely a registry security issue. Go to sysinternals.com and get the regmon utility. Run this utility and then have a user that doesn't work run the offending app. Then stop the capture and review the output. Look for...
There are alot of things to look for. I would bet you updated to sp4 or did a few security patches. Search this forum for KB824309. There is a bug in a security patch that causes this behavior.
Also, make sure your users have permission to the profiles.
You will need to call MS for the patch.
You will need to learn the ica gateway. It is free. But needs to be located in each subnet.
Read below.
If you have specific questons please ask. I will attempt to answer them.

Running a 3 server 2k sp4 citrix sp3/fr3 farm with that patch installed last Friday. No issues to report. Note, that sp4 did cause a few issues that we had to work out. Namely slow logons and logoffs.
We are also experiencing the dreaded event id 1000 issue. SP4 does not fix it. [surprise] Just an FYI. If your are running w2k TS (Citrix), sp4 will not only break the roaming profiles of some of your users. You will also encounter extremely slow logons. There is a patch for that though.
What type of profiles are you using? (local or Roaming)
Also, go to sysinternals and get there regmon program. It will collect gobs of data, but will help you resolve this issue. May be a rouge app.
Just out of curiosity, You are not running in install mode are you??
