We have several remote users that have high speed internet on their end, and need to connect to a citrix server on our network. We are using a watchguard firewall and we configure a rule that allows their static ip address to pass an ica request thru port 1494 to a citrix server. We are using...

I have an 8-server farm running win2k sp4 and MFXPa Fr3. We publish a desktop using Tricerat. All the servers have identical applications installed, and 2 of them have an extra application or two that is run as a published app. The rest of the apps show up on the desktop, with only the apps...

We are running outlook 2000 in a published Tricerat Desktop. Metaframe XP, Win2k. We made a couple of registry hacks and exported the keys, then when we set up a new user, we just run the .reg files as that user, and Outlook then defaults to save to their U: drive. We are mapping u: to their...

DUH! I remember now using this before, but I wear so many hats around here it's tough to remember stuff I don't use much. Anyway, made the changes yesterday, tested successfully with affected user, in production today with no apparent problems. Thanks much!

Mitchero - Thanks for the response. Sorry to be so dense, but I guess you lost me. I don't see anything on my server like you describe. Is this only there when you are running active directory? This is an NT4 network, but the citrix servers are win2k. I have tried going in to the local security...

Will keep this as brief as I can. Environment: NT4 network, (8) win2k servers in citrix farm. Publishing desktop using Tricerat. Roaming profiles. SQL data store on dedicated server. Average 180 - 190 users on 7 servers. Try to keep one for testing. Users Profiles stored on separate file server...

OK, got a lot of help from HP. All my ills were brought on by myself. My servers are hardware RAID 1. One of my servers failed and the bad drive managed to corrupt the good drive. I have a lot of software apps installed and didn't want to build from ground up. Didn't have a new enough version of...

We have a similar problem. Quickbooks is installed to one server in the farm. It is pushed out as a published app. All our servers have all the network printers installed and users can choose which one they want to set as default. Sometimes the user can see the printer for his floor and...

Thanks. I have contacted the laser department and will see what they have to say.

Our network setup: NT4 network, (7)Citrix Metaframe XP servers on Win2K server boxes. Servers running SP2 with some newer hotfixes, FR2. Installed an HP 1500L Color Laserjet Printer as a network printer using tcp/ip and printing to a static address. Have many other printers installed the same...

kixstart works very well for this. You can put statements in such as "if member of" and then specify user groups and have it map a drive at logon. Kixstart is in the windows resource kit. Can send you a sample if you need help. kifland@centralnational.com

We had exactly the same issue. Found multiple causes: 1. Printing was hogging bandwidth. I set all my servers to 5k bandwidth for printing. 2. Frame circuits were mostly 56k. Had to replace adtrans & order new lines to get them up to 256k. 3. Network was 10 yrs old. Routers were Micom. Network...

We have several apps that require a mapped drive, and we found that even if the user mapped the drive and told it to restore the mapping, citrix still couldn't see this mapped drive. We used kixstart from the nt4 resource kit and made statements such as "if in xxx group, then map...

We have the same problem. I searched the event logs and it seemed to happen after the McAfee virus scan tried to do its auto update. I stopped all the McAfee services, but that didn't solve it. Very annoying. We are running metaframeXP on Win2k servers with sp2 and fr2. 6 servers in one farm...

Another one of those mysteries. metaframeXPa running on win2k servers on nt4 network. Remote branches connected via 56k frame circuits.(I know, we're working on it). Micom Marathon routers (don't ask). 4-user branch running win 9x, ica 6.3. One user tried to log on, message that citrix server...
