[THIN] Re: Web Interface Query

There is no way to remotely manage a WI server using the Access Management Console. RDP to the server and run the AMC from there.

 

Prior to WI 5.0, it was possible to store the configuration in the farm allowing remote administration. This feature has been deprecated. Now you can only manage it by running AMC directly on the server or by modifying the webinterface.conf file located on the server.

 

On each of your XenApp servers, remove the AMC-WI plugin. This way you won't be tempted to try remote support of WI.

 

On the WI server, remove all AMC plugins except Foundation and WI. This helps reinforce the split administration. In WI 5.1.1, the Admin tool only contains the WI plugin, all of the other plugins are removed.

Hi All,

 

I am trying to get my citrix web interface 4.5 server to be accessed from all my other citrix servers using the AMC discovery, however I keep on getting the following error message:

 

Ensure that the name is correct, the server is contactable, and that a supported version of Presentation Server or XenApp is installed.

 

523

 

 

I have opened up the firewall for TCP 135 and locked the registry on the servers to use ports 8000 – 9000 and even amended local policy to allow the ctx_ConfigMgr account the right to log on as a service and a batch.

 

The discovery still fails and I have since looked at the COM+ settings and Im still getting the errors.

 

As I didn't set up the web interface server I have just noticed that there is no citrix XML service running on the server and in the AMC on the web interface server under Web Interface tab details I can see the Configuration Source is listed as a 'Local File' could this be why I cannot administer the web interface server from the other citrix AMC's.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

 

Thanks
