I use SP6 on all my Citrix installs. Make sure you apply the post SP6 ICA
browser hotfix, Q269214. There is one issue with this hotfix that you have
to delete this registry key after applying it, and before rebooting.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\Q147222
You should update the master browser first and update all your MF servers
to keep them working together smoothly. You shouldn't have to re-apply any
MF SP's or hotfixes unless specifically stated in the readme, although some
people do it anyway just to be sure.

Please respond to "NT
System Admin Issues"
I have seen a couple indirect references to memory issues being fixed with
NT Terminal Server service pack 6 on Microsoft's website. Has anyone
experienced any problems when applying SP6? Should I re-apply Citrix SP2
after applying NT TSE Sp6? Thanks for the help :o)

Unfortunately, killing or uninstalling the app are not options. This
is the 'new and improved' rating software from one of our Insurance
companies that is replacing all other means of rating (including their
online interfacing). In the next couple of months, this company will
require that all agents/brokers use this software.
Hopefully I can find a decent solution or workaround.

The only way to limit a leaking app is to kill it or uninstall
it. :)
I'd try beating up on the developer if the app is important or
necessary.

Andrew you stud. Thanks for the tip. I noticed 2 instances of
one piece of software using over 900mb of virtual memory each.
This software was added a little over a month ago, and now that
I think about, that's about the time these Virtual Memory errors
started happening rather frequently.
So is this evidence of poorly written software, or are there any
steps I can take to limit the amount of virtual memory these
applications can use?

Well right now I'm showing a total of approx. 916000k
Physical and approx. 660000k available with a file cache
of approx. 32000k. I'll gather this information the next
time I see the error message.

Subject: Memory problems
Hey folks,
2-3 times a week, I'll get a message on my
Citrix Server that it's out of virtual memory. I
can't narrow down any applications that may be
causing a memory leak. There are a couple of DOS
programs on the server which are checked to run
in their own memory space. This is a Compaq
Proliant ML530, Dual 866 PIII Xeon proc., 896MB
RAM, (2) 9.1Gb disks. The page file is about
twice the size of my physical RAM. This server
run NT4 TSE, sp5 and Citrix Metaframe 1.8, sp2.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might
check out next? I'm in the process of running
Performance Monitor right now, but wanted to
check and see if there's any other areas I
should be investigating.
I'm also experiencing infrequent blue screens
with the same stop message, but I think I've
narrowed this down to a printer driver conflict
with one of the HP DeskJets installed.
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can
provide.

Sean Martin, MCSE
