Subject: [THIN] ImaSrv.exe sending e-mail
After installing McAfee on some old Citrix VM's, I am seeing blocking of
outbound TCP/25 from ImaSrv.exe from some, but not all of the server. A
few hits on bootup of the VM. What does ImaSrv.exe send out e-mails
for? Where would I look to see how the servers are set differently?

Hi
We currently use WebEx within Citrix which works fine. We use Citrix Presentation Server 4 with MS Roaming Profiles. My only isssue is that WebEx copies 20Mb of WebEx files into the roaming profile. Does anyone know if there is a way to redirect WebEx files out of the Profile??
Thanks

Think of XA 5 as simply a platform upgrade, Isolation 3.0, and UI enhancements. There are 50+ new features, but Citrix doesn’t have a list to tell you what they are.

Yes, the base code for XA 5.0 on Windows 2003 is identical to CPS 4.5 FP1. To get new CPS features, you have to install it on Windows Server 2008. That's why there are different features in the Windows Server 2008 version.
All of the other components like licensing, web interface, edgesight, streaming, etc. have been updated. You can install those components on 2003 servers to make it look like it is a new version of CPS.
Confused yet?

[THIN] Re: Microsoft Ad
Even with out the third party stuff Vista could be better… A stock install of Vista SP1 chews up 533 megs of memory when first started. XP SP3 takes 82 megs. That’s 6.5x the memory. Connecting to CIFS/SMB shares on a Windows 2003 or XP workstation is painfully slow and many times error out. From a usability stand point. I despise and hate the new start menu and Explorer. When I cursor through folders it doesn’t automatically show the content of the folder! Breadcrumb browsing is very annoy. I much, much prefer the XP style explorer. I’ll even settle for something like Mac’s Finder. The only good thing about the new Explorer in Vista is the ability to create folder shortcuts in the left-pane.
I had 2 gigs RAM in my laptop and Vista would constantly run out of memory. And this was with the Aero interface and Super-fetch turned off. The only open was Outlook 2007.
Here is an excerpt from an unpublished article I wrote about Vista. The irony is rest of the article discusses why I didn’t choose Linux or Mac but 4 months later I ended up buying a MacBook Pro w/ Fusion and Windows XP. I only use XP for XenCenter and Outlook (as there in no Mac version, Entourage is not quite the same)
The Ultimate Vista Upgrade
Looking to increase performance, usability, stability and application compatibility on your Windows Vista system? Well, Microsoft released Windows Vista Service Pack 1 last week. No, I'm not recommending SP1. I've got a solution that is much better. What if I told you that there is an Operating System out there that performs so much fast than Vista. One that is easy to use, rock solid stable and works with 100% of your applications? What if I said you could even use your existing hardware?
Is it a Mac? Nope.
Is it Linux? Nope.
I've been running this Vista Upgrade on my laptop for 3 months now and I have to say is it is amazing! My laptop is so much faster, stable and easier to use than ever before!
So what is this new and exciting Operating System? Microsoft released a relatively unknown OS many years back called Microsoft Windows XP SP2.
Here is my story.
Back in January 2007, I upgraded my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705, T7400 Core2Duo, 2GB of Ram, 7200 RPM drive) running Windows XP Pro to Microsoft Vista Ultimate. Since then, I have had nothing but problems with the thing.
Issues encountered:
The system was really slow, pause and frequent display “Not Responding” in the title bar of applications
The system would do what it pleased and constantly kicking off some type of system scan or defrag. The poor hard-drive was constantly chattering
The system locked up occasionally
Wireless would not always reconnect when coming out of standby mode
Moving from one Wireless AP to a different Wireless AP was not always seamless
Copying files takes 4 to 5 times longer to complete
Consistent issues connecting to CIFS shares
Consistent issues copying files to a CIFS share
Consistent issues opening files on a CIFS share (sometimes, just basic .txt files would not open properly)
System would frequently run out of memory with only 1 application open (the system has 2 GB of ram)
The UAC is very, very annoying. Immediately turn that off
Explorer folder views do not save properly
The new Start Menu is hard to navigate
System settings are new and hidden places. I've wasted countly hours searching for settings.
The Explorer windows size opens up way too small. I always have to resize it
A lot of the application I use no longer worked
Windows Backup would not connect to a WinXP share
Windows Backup would not let me pick and choose what files to backup
From what I've been hearing about Vista SP1, things are not much better.
What am I losing by upgrading to XP? Not much, but here is a list:
Security? What good is it if it's really annoying, slows down the system, and decreased the reliability of the system? I'd rather have speed and stability. For browsing the internet, I prefer Firefox anyways. A simple Google search reveals there are quite a few articles that suggest that Vista is not as secure as Microsoft lets on.
The new Aero interface. Whoop dee doo! So the title bars are not translucent or the windows fad in and out. Microsoft touts the 3d tab flip as a big feature but I never found myself using it. After a while, I ended up turning off the Aero interface and changed the Start Menu to classic mode in an attempt to stabilize the system and reduce memory consumption. Nothing gained, nothing lost.
Superfetch. Not sure where to begin here. I turned this off while trying to troubleshoot issues with memory consumption and I did not notice a performance decrease.
Folder shortcuts in Explorer. If anything, this might be one feature I miss the most.
What did I gain?
Speed! The system is noticeably faster and more responsive. And Service Pack 3 promises to be even faster.
Stability! I haven't had the system crash/lockup yet
My Hard Drive stopped chattering
My wireless connections work so much better
My old applications work again
I'm only using 565 megs (out of 2 GB) with the following application opened: Outlook, Word, iTunes, Firefox and Notepad
Coping files to/from a CIFS share is so much faster and trouble free
I can open simple text base files without incident
My system setting are where I expect them to be (No more 2 hour ventures to find where a new settings is hiding)
I can use NTBACKUP again!

Microsoft needs to spend that money to engage these vendors and teach them how to write their software to work on Vista. And the world would be a better place.

Seinfied only got 10 million. Remember my earlier post. It isn't Microsoft's fault, Vista works great. It is 3rd party vendors who can't seem to writer their software properly to work on it. Microsoft needs to spend that money to engage these vendors and teach them how to write their software to work on Vista. And the world would be a better place.

Have to disagree. I run the business edition of Vista and explorer bombs on me almost daily. Yes, most issues are with drivers for 3rd party apps and that is a huge pain and a huge reason why everyone isn't jumping on the bandwagon. However, while I won't make a blanket statement echoing 'vista works terrible', I'll instead say that for me, Vista doesn't work so great.

…one other thought about this- Citrix for 15+ years has been the target of complaints about profiles, printing, drivers, etc. that were never their issue to begin with, but, they were selling the products that require this support and reveal the underling OS issues, they took the blame….

In general, Microsoft has moved away from being the evil empire and has been writing really good code for a long time now. Vista has compatability issues that may or may not be directly related to MS, but the bottom line is that a lot of thing don’t work well and when you are the ubiquitous OS in the world, regardless of the cause of frustration, it becomes your problem!!
