We have a 1 server Citrix Metaframe XP with SP4 box that has started having issues with pretty much all things that should happen at startup. Here is the list:
1. Print spooler crashes several times a day and eats 50% (or more) of the cpu most of the time
2. Printer autocreation frequently fails, works sometimes, I manually execute cmstart on the user's citrix desktop and that usually resolves the problem
3. We have a bat file that refuses to run a lot of the time at startup. This bat file maps needed network drives. Used to work fine, now it pops up intermittently. When it runs it works though
4. Users sometimes get a blank desktop and it may sit there for 20 minutes sometimes before loading icons etc.
5. I installed sp3 and then sp4 last night to see if that would help things. It did not change a thing. And now when users logon a cmd.exe box sits there with an H:\ prompt blinking at you (H is each user's home drive). You have to close this command window before the desktop appears.
I appreciate any help. Users are starting to get a little frustrated and all we can come up with are band aids.
Thanks
