I never waited for that to happen nor did I see anything by chance. I suppose that a mere port connect does not start a session within Citrix.
You could use tcpview to have a look or plainly netstat from the commandline. (open dos box, netstat -a or whatever you think best, then analyse output) I did this on one of our Citrix servers and there were no leftover connections. SA is running these tests quite a while and I didn't notice anything strange. So in my oppinion it is save to do so.

What should I expect to see in the Citrix Management Console when SA does it's connection check? I assume I'll see something pop up every 2 minutes during the test cycle, but I haven't caught it yet.

They are there to speed up connecting time when several users connect at the same time. As soon as they are used, the server will respawn additional idle sessions. All this is quite normal for a Citrix server, nothing to worry about. Oliver -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 11.

I see a single ICA-TCP connection with session ID 65,636, State = Listen, Type ICA, and then a RDP-TCP session, with session ID 65,537, State = Listen, Type RDP, and below that session listing, under 'State' are 5 idle sessions. Is that what you were talking about?

In the past we have had several support issues with servers (mail/ftp/web/...) that were not very happy with the "port connections" of Servers Alive, from the point-of-view of the server the connection was still open (although closed from Servers Alive) and quicky the servers ran out of connections. Make sure that this is NOT happening. (could be that a Citrix server handles this correctly) Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Monitoring Citrix Servers Thanks for the tip! I watched one of our boxes go down yesterday. The pager went off first for the IMA service, then for the Telnet to port 1494. I'll add the other monitor once we get the registered version.
