XPa to PS3 Upgrade Problem 1

[MikeBatters]

I have just upgraded a server in an XPa FR2 Farm to PS3.0 with SP2005 (all on Windows 2000 SP4).

The server starts up fine (after a complete removal of Citrix and reinstall becuase the initial upgrade failed) and there are no service errors or similar. It logs an event that it has sucessfuly contacted the Citrix License Server and all is OK.

You can connect to the Server Using RDP. You can manage the server from the PS3 Management Console and the CMC from the XPa servers no problem. You can even telnet to port 1494 on the server and get the ICA^ICA^ICA^ returned as expected. Logons are enabled.

The problem is that as soon as you try to connect using the Citrix client is reports the "the Citrix server is not available".

Everything looks just fine and there are no errors but you just can get on to the system. All the XPa servers are still fine too. I have even tried Publishing a Desktop from just that server and we get exactly the same error.

Any suggestions are to what may be causing the problem woul dbe most appreciated!

MikeBatters,
quick question.....Where did you publish that app from?
Did you do it from the XP or 3.0 farm?

Also....try to connect to the server via the CMC in the 3.0 farm.
Right click on the server and launch the session from there and see what happens.

What happens if you log into the 3.0 server and do a qfarm or qfarm /load?

Thanks for the reply. The test app was published using the PS3 CMC and it was a Desktop Published from the PS3.0 server.

I had tried the "launch session" from CMC prior to the call to no avail.

I actualyl managed to resolve the problem at about 2AM this morning and now all appears OK. As it is fixed i can't tell you want the qfarm would have returned.

It looks like there may be a conflict between on of the Windows Hotfixes that was applied using WSUS by the Server Admin and this was only rectified in the SP2005 for PS3.0. There were lots of other updates etc done and then a full remove, re-install and re-SP whihc has resolved the issues.

Thanks Again for the thoughts!
