Good morning/afternoon,

Environment:
Exchange 2003 SP2
Outlook 2007 SP1
Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
Citrix Roaming Profiles

I was thinking about developing a simple VB script, or possibly a simple
application that can be used to launch Outlook with various command line
switches (cleanreminders, cleanfreebusy, cleanprofile, etc.). My question to
you is if there are any know issues or incompatibilities associated with
launcing Outlook with a switch from within a Citrix session. Most of our
users don't have locally installed Office Applications so performing this
troubleshooting step can only be facilitated via Citrix.

Scenario:

1) User calls help desk with issue.
2) Technician determines that launching Outlook with a certain switch may
resolve the issue.
3) User is instructed to close Outlook.
4) Technician publishes VB app to user that presents buttons for launching
Outlook with various switches.
5) User launches app and clicks appropriate option.
6) Outlook launches with the selected switch.
7) Issue is resolved (or not).

Does this seem like a feasible idea?
