Thanks for your help – This from Advanced Concepts: “After a failed installation, compare the list of servers in the Citrix Management Console to the list of servers returned by queryhr. Use the command queryhr –d hostID to remove any servers listed in the queryhr results that are not listed in the Citrix Management Console”. Queryhr is found in the Debug tools on the MFXP CD.
Here is some more information about our farm: One Farm, one Zone, all servers with Win2k SP2. Fourteen servers with MFXP FR2, two servers running with MFXP FR3. One of the FR3 is dedicated to management – it is also the Zone Data Collector and Farm Metric Server. We log into and run CMC from this server.
When I use qfarm, I get a list of all the active servers, plus the one I removed from the farm. When I use qfarm /online, I get a list of only the active servers. When I run queryhr, I get a list of all the active servers and their host id’s. It appears that there is an inconsistency in the data store that I would like to clean up using queryhr, but queryhr does not return a host id for the phantom server, so I don’t know how to make it go away. I get these same results no matter which server I run the commands from.
The nightly reboot has come about because of a problem we are having with user profiles hanging up on the server. The reboot deletes some of the profiles, while the others are removed manually. That’s next on "The List".
