Moving local users from Citrix to TS

[Dukester0122]

We're using Citrix NFuse 1.6 to published all applications. We always get complained from users getting kicked while working then can't go back to Citrix again unless we reset their sessions. Now we're thinking of moving local users to Terminal Services instead.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to publish apps with the same flex and function from Terminal Server. You will need to specify a primary app for the launch of a given users RDP desktop.
This is something I would recommend in Windows 2003 with NLBS (Network Load Balancing) or

(freeware)but I am not as emphatic about it with Win2k.

You may want to try upgrading NFUSE to Web Interface and taking advantage of timeout settings. Are the users getting dropped due to idle time or in the middle of activity? Be certain you don't have Network contention issues that are causing the problem. It will be even more frequest with RDP.

Good Luck!

We're still using W2K. I've seen a lot of freeware but have anybody used the one by sysinternals - PSKILL.

What do you mean by NFUSE Web Interface 'cause ours is already published in an html format.

Users get kicked while in idle and also in the middle of activity.

Before making this (IMO) backward step, have you tried to diagnose and fix the problem ? First thing to check is your ica-tcp connection settings, have you made sure there are no timeouts on these ? and if you do not have a need to enable discconect timeouts turn them off so users will be able to go straight back in to their apps.

This is usually a sign of bad printer drivers if the above is not relevant, how sure are you that they are all good ? Would certainly be worth going through them.

Hope this helps,
