RE: Managing Mac's
How exactly does that excuse one from managing the Macs? If you're locking them down so much that they're just a dumb terminal, then save a lot of money and get them a Wyse terminal!

Re: Managing Mac's
Actually the BYOC initiative might push some of these issues to the fore, joking aside. Currently I don't mind people connecting from Blackberries, iPads, Macs etc. because I can push them all onto Citrix and effectively turn them into a Windows platform without worrying about the endpoint security. It is, as you say, when these things become corporate, LAN-based assets that the endpoint has to be secured as well as the delivered apps.

Citrix Web Plugin and Win 7 64-bit

A client has just purchased a bunch of Win 7 64-bit workstations, but runs into an issue with one part of the config. The client installs fine, however... Normally we have them create a new registry entry (called ClientName, which has a value of their IP address) located at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\ This location (Citrix...) does not exist in Win 7 64-bit after the plug-in has been successfully installed.

Re: Citrix Web Plugin and Win 7 64-bit
Well.I can't see it on my Windows 7 XenDesktops - but, I am using the Citrix Receiver, rather than the traditional Web PlugIn, so my setup may be slightly different to yours. I will see if I can install it when I am a little less busy and test, but I'd think the Registry entries are unlikely to have changed apart from being bumped to the Wow6432 node.

RE: Barracuda SPAM filters to Symantec Failures
I just found it simpler to restrict outbound smtp traffic to the exchange server at the firewall (which should be done anyway) and send directly from exchange. That way if your Barracuda dies you can at least still send outbound mail and you don't have a single point of failure both ways. I guess that's not really an issue any more since I migrated to their virtual appliance.

PvsVmAgent issues on XenDesktop
Just thought I'd share this one - been removing and reinstalling the Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent on a number of XenDesktops via GPO ( http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127301). Unfortunately (well at least for me), when the software is removed a whole heap of services fail on restart - Server, Workstation, Browser, etc. Which makes reinstalling the software via GPO a little tricky (to say the least). It looks like there are some references to PvsVmAgent left behind after uninstallation (I'm assuming this would be something to do with Citrix Provisioning Services, which I am not using, so don't know why it installs the dependent references). Doing a search in the Registry reveals various service configurations with PvsVmAgent listed in the data. Editing the entries to remove the PvsVmAgent line and restarting seems to do the trick of resolving these problems. Forgive me if people already know this and/or it is a documented error (I couldn't find much on Google myself), but I thought I'd maybe save someone some work if they encounter the same thing. -- On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'

Re: Xenapp 5.0 user freezing issue.
I would suggest you create an app for the problem application(s) and make them server-specific. Then you can at least determine if the issue is with one or both of your servers. This is Win 2008 R2? Office 2010 64 or 32? If Office, try a down version or 32 instead of 64, at least for testing. I had a similar issue. In one case the app had to be removed/re-installed on the XenApp server, on the other it was printer drivers (we use session printing). I think the event logs told me something was wrong for the first instance. the other thing I can think of is to check how you have your profiles configured. We use terminal server roaming profiles. Works okay except for occasionally when a user does something to fill up the allocated space.

Re: Xenapp 5.0 user freezing issue.
AFAIK the only quick fix for hangs and freezes such as described lies in Citrix or MS patches. If you are fully up to date then you probably need to do a protracted period of investigation slowly ruling out causes. Have you configured your AV exclusions as per the Citrix best practices? Can you narrow the hangs to a particular app? Do you have other intensive tools running on the servers hosting the published desktops? Do you see the same issues if you publish the errant applications individually rather than natively installed?

I have six or seven KVM switches, several in use. Haven't had any cables go bad. But I need one KVM good for not only two computers: a PC and a Mac, but for two monitors feeding each computer as well. I have several two computer KVMs, but they only feed one monitor. I have the computers set up now in separate locations, but I would rather it be in one place. Anyone heard of such a KVM? It would need to use the new connections for monitors. And USBs for k/m.

Re: Xenapp 5.0 user freezing issue.

One reported lots of virus infestations and prevented the user from accessing the internet and, for a low price, would fix all. The other reported that the hard drive had tons of errors and the boot sector was gone, etc. And for a small fee, their utility could fix it. This system was unusable. Maybe this is pretty basic but I haven't seen mention of it but in both cases, Window's System Restore easily removed both. I've seen descriptions of fixing infected systems involving fairly complex procedures and multiple utilities. I guess I just wanted to recommend giving System Restore a try first before resorting to the heavy artillery. On the system that had the failed hard drive scareware, it was impossible to access System Restore in normal windows. I figured Safe Mode was the way to go but I discovered System Restore is not available in Safe Mode. I did learn that you can run System Restore in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Just enter %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe at the command prompt and you're in System Restore. Not sure why regular Safe Mode wouldn't have that command available. Hope that's of help to someone else. -- Bob Hartung Wisco Industries, Inc. 736 Janesville St. Oregon, WI 53575 Tel: (608) 835-3106 x215 Fax: (608) 835-7399 e-mail: bhartung(at)wiscoind.com ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

PowerBroker application
Has anyone used this product, from BeyondTrust? Looks like it would be useful to minimize permission levels on Win 7 boxes. We're looking at using Applocker, and this seems to be a good fit to go along with that, to automatically raise perm levels for apps in Applocker, so normal users can install whitelisted applications.
