Nod32 v3 and SP3

[jonb]

Any users out here running Nod32 v3 and SP3?  We're replacing Trend Micro 
with Nod32 and in our pilot group, their machines hang sometimes when 
bringing up the desktop.  I've opened a case with Eset, but haven't heard 
anything yet.  A workaround I devised is to set the Eset service to 
manual, and then in the startup group doing a "net start ekrn" 

I haven't had any issues with Server 2003 SP2.

Hyperthreaded / dual core CPU count




Is there a simple way to determine if a multi-CPU system has dual core or 
is hyperthreaded? We have some servers that we need to disable 
hyperthreading on but would like to know without rebooting them if 
hyperthreading is enabled, or if it just happens to be a dual core CPU?.

RE: Citrix help needed

[jonb]

Thanks everyone who has responded so far.  I will look at the links you've 
so kindly sent.  This was all setup by a former employee  and I'm trying 
to figure it all out.

RE: Citrix help needed




Your IMA Datastore (which is most probably the Access version) is on the 
old server.  You need to move it to the new server.  You also need to 
verify that you have moved the Web Interface (if you are using it), the 
PNAgent site (if using PNAgent), the Citrix License server and remove all 
references to the old server from all Published Apps.
 
Since 99% of the Citrix farms I go to work on have never backed up their 
Access or MSDE based IMA datastore, you should seriously consider adding 
that to your backup regime.  Lookup ?dsmaint backup?.  This should be in a 
scheduled batch file or script that runs daily.  If (or when) you lose the 
IMA Datastore your Citrix farm is hosed if you have no backup to restore.
 
You should also make a backup copy of your Published Apps on a regular 
basis.  Most people have no idea what server or servers host an app or 
what users and/or groups are allowed to run a Published App.  This makes 
it very difficult for people like me to come in and get your farm back up 
and running.  Have a look at:
 
http://www.thomaskoetzing.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=135&Itemid=207
 
To move your datastore:
 
http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx677542
 
To move or restore an Access data store 
Follow this procedure to install a backup of the data store or move an 
original data store to a new host server in the event of a hardware 
failure or upgrade: 
1. Copy the backup database or the original database to the server that is 
to become the new host server. 
2. On the new host server, create a new ?File DSN? pointing to the new 
local database from Step 1.
3. On all servers in the farm, execute dsmaint failover to point to the 
new host server. 
Note: The IMA Service must be running on these servers for the command to 
execute properly. You must do this before executing dsmaint config on the 
new host server as specified in the next step; otherwise the other servers 
in the farm cannot write to the database. 
4. On the new host server, execute dsmaint config to point the IMA Service 
to the newly created DSN file from Step 2. If no security was set on the 
Access database, use the default user account and password information 
(citrix/citrix). 
Note: Include the full path (in quotes) in the /dsn: switch to the file 
dsn. For example, /dsn:"C:\Program Files\Citrix\Independent Management 
Architecture\MF20.dsn" 
WARNING! This fix requires you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor 
incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall 
your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting 
from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry 
Editor at your own risk. 
5. Change the original host server to its new role as an indirect server 
(it will now access the data store indirectly through the new host server) 
by running the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and changing the value of 
the following registry key from Imaaccess.dll to Imaodbc.dll: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DatabaseDriver 
Note: If you are performing these steps with a MetaFrame XP Feature 
Release 3 farm, the previous step is no longer necessary. With a MetaFrame 
XP Feature Release 3 server, running the command dsmaint failover 
new_direct_servername on the original host server removes the value in the 
registry. Feature Release 3 no longer uses the value Imaodbc.dll for 
indirect servers. 
6. Stop and restart the IMA Service on the new host server. 
7. When the IMA Service on the new host server is running, stop and 
restart the IMA Service on all of the other servers in the farm. 
Important: Restarting the IMA Service instead of restarting the server 
might cause the SNMP service to Dr. Watson if SNMP is enabled. This error 
is benign. 
Hope this helps.

We are running PS 4.0 with 2 servers in our development farm.  All 
published apps have been updated to run on "newserver"  and everything is 
working fine.  Today I powered down "oldserver" to check for any issues 
before I reuse it.  When "oldserver" is powered off, none of the published 
apps work, even though they are configured to run on "newserver" only.  As 
soon as I powered up "oldserver" the apps began working.  The message we 
get is "resource is not available".   

The only thing I see in the event log is that "newserver" has become the 
farm metric server.   

Where do I begin looking?

scheduled tasks

[jonb]

We want to setup a scheduled task on client PCs that run cleanmgr and 
defrag.  What is the best way of handling this?  All clients have the same 
local administrator password so we could setup scheduled tasks that run 
under the local admin id.  How best to deploy?
