I can't go guys. Have a beer for me. I'll be on GTM for CTP meetings though. The buffet at the MGM Grand rocks and Emerils is a pretty good choice to eat. We were eating at the Cabana grill the last time we were there and saw Fat Joe (the rap singer not that Shonk guy ) sitting at the table next to us with his band and a bunch of groupies. It was pretty good also.

Have fun.

[THIN] Re: thin Digest V8 #167

Jeff,

I never tested it, but I would think that using the flag the article
mentions would save the printers in your profile and therefore speed up
printer connection creation at next logon (since the printer info is
already in your profile). Maybe you can do some testing with this?

However, my original comment still applies then, beeing that you need to
find a way to get rid off printers that do not exist anymore or have
been renamed
Since the whole printer creation is not dynamic anymore all printer info
is retained in the user profile and you'll need other means to purge
that info from the user profiles if needed
This can be done through registry hacks (be it scripted or otherwise)
If you use network printers the keys that you need would be
HKCU\Printers\Connections\,,<printserver>,<printer>
See this example from my AppSense config xml file:
DeleteRegKey Hive = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" Key =
"Printers\Connections\,,GUIPS001,NP01052"

Subject: [THIN] Re: Help with Auto-Created Printers

I just did another round of testing via different access methods,
waiting for a minute or two before checking the print options in word
and surprise, surprise, not only are all the printers listed that should
be, but the correct default was selected as well. I also tried changing
the option to wait for the printers to be created before the app
launches and it took almost a full minute before Word launched; however,
all the printers, including the correct default were there.

In the case of our corporate office, we have about 40 printers scattered
throughout the building hosted on two print servers which would explain
the long delay in waiting for all of them to be created. That long of a
delay would be unacceptable to my users. Would changing the registry
key to prevent the deletion of the network printers after a session ends
reduce this delay in launching apps? Is it something worth changing to
satisfy impatient users (like me) or am I better off leaving it entirely
dynamic and just instructing the odd users or two who might be impatient
to simply wait a couple of minutes?

Cheers
Jeff

[THIN] Re: Help with Auto-Created Printers

I did read through those and a few others that I found this morning....
Following the steps I found in another article, I tried publishing the desktop and connecting as a regular user to see if I could manually add a printer...Oddly enough, there were all there and the correct defalut printer was selected.

Looks like my problem might simply be impatience....
I have the applications set to launch without waiting for the printers to be created to speed up launch time. Of course, I was checking the print options from Word immediately after launching the app. What I thought was a little odd was that the list of printers available and the default one selected were different almost every time I launched it both via the web interface and the PNAgent.

I just did another round of testing via different access methods, waiting for a minute or two before checking the print options in word and surprise, surprise, not only are all the printers listed that should be, but the correct default was selected as well.

Subject: [THIN] Help with Auto-Created Printers

I'm starting to pull my hair out, so I'm hoping someone here can help...
I have created a brand new farm running XenApp 5.0 for Windows Server
2003. The farm consists of a Data Collector/License Server, 2
production application hosts and 2 development application hosts.
We have 10 print servers scattered throughout our enterprise and all of
them have been imported to the farm.
Login scripts on the DC's map the users printers, depending on their
office location, they should see anywhere from 5-30 printers
There are a few users who have local printers who would prefer to use
those than the network printers (HR, Payroll, etc)
No printer drivers other than those that came with Windows have been
installed - I prefer to use the Universal driver to avoid having to
install 50+ drivers on each of the servers

I have a single policy defined which contains nothing but printer
settings and used the server filter to apply it to all servers.

The policy is configured as follows:
Printing->Client Printers->Auto-Creation: Enabled - Auto-create all
client printers
Printing->Client Printers->Legacy client printers: Enabled - Create
dynamic session-private client printers
Printing->Client Printers->Printer properties retention: Enabled - Held
in profile only if not saved on client
Printing->Client Printers->Print job routing: Enabled - Always connect
indirectly as a client printer
Printing->Client Printers->Turn off client printer mapping: Not
Configured
Printing->Drivers->Native printer driver auto-install: Enabled - Do not
automatically install drivers
Printing->Drivers->Universal driver: Enabled - Use universal driver only
if requested driver is unavailable
Printing->Session printers: Enabled - Set default printer to the
client's main printer
I have nothing listed under the "Network printers to connect at logon"
section of the Session printers policy - Should there be anything here?

The default printer on my laptop is set to our "IT" printer. When I run
Word from the web interface (I haven't tried the PNAgent yet, but we do
have users who use both) and select print, the printer selected as my
default appears to be the first one in the list (they seem to be sorted
alphabetically, which happens to be a Sales printer) rather than the
"IT" printer that it should be.

From the KB articles and the Citrix forums, it would appear that I've
set this up correctly, but it just doesn't seem to be working. What am
I missing?????

Cheers
Jeff

When you say network printers, you are mapping them to the client and not through a login script when the user logs into the XenApp server?

Everything else looks ok. Do you have domain policies that override the local security policy?

[THIN] Re: Synergy

i don't know Joe. i think there is a reason you're on the bottom and we all know you've got the technical chops.

There has to be more than two of us going to Synergy. The Thin list dinner will be easy to plan though.

any idea what the final night party is going to be?

We had the same issue with 256 colors. We just switched to higher color resolution.

Hi Ronnie,

We encountered this issue with Reader 9 which apparently also applies to 8.

We were publishing apps in 256 colours and we hit all kinds of problems with text and graphic rendering as you described.

We found the solution was to switch off some options under Preferences>PageDisplay>Rendering. Specifically setting "smooth text" to none and disabling the options for "smooth line art" and "smooth images".

Doesn't look as pretty but displayed the content well enough.

Hope this helps.

Chris.

[THIN] RE OT: security products

Hi Roger,

We are about to install a combination of Websense with ISA. I read that you've been using Websense with PIX for years with good experience, which brought the following questions to mind:

- Why are you considering moving to something else? (price?)
- Isn't the fact that you have a working combination enough to stick with it?
- How are you currently installing the websense client on your Citrix server? Our partner is saying that out of the box you can't autoinstall the citrix client. (which is not acceptable because we automate our complete installation)

I apologize that I don't have an answer to your original question.

Regards en TIA

Aleks

Hi all,

We've been using Websense and PIX for years with good luck. Secure Computing (McAfee) has been banging on our door with Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) and Secure Web (Webwasher). Do any of you have experience with both and an opinion either way? Also, how well did Web Washer handle transparent authentication and reporting for your Citrix users?

I'm trying to decide between:

Cisco ASA/IPS vs Sidewinder

Websense vs Webwasher

Thanks,

Roger

[THIN] Re: pse450R03W2k3028 seems to have broken RM

You did update your licensing server to at least 11.5 (I think 11.6 is latest) prior to running rhe rollup 3 right?

Anyone seen this or know of issues?

[THIN] Re: Daily Concurrent user reports - Presentation server 4.5 farm.

Ah... turn it on and then wait for the log to run for a day or so – then you'll get your graphs as you're expecting from the Citrix Licensing Console

If you want to do raw usage from Edgesight you could :

· For each server create a "Session For a Device By Hour" report that covers 1 day - this removes the aggregation that are introduced in group reports and longer time periods.

· Bring all those reports as worksheets into a new spreadsheet.

· Create a summary spreadsheet and total for each hour – this gives you a combined use total, by hour, for each server. you an

It's a mess I'll grant you – disappointing that out of the box edgesight doesn't cater for simple things like usage, and that there's not a warning in the console when you've not got logging on that historical usage is disabled.

For the future might be an idea to check out Introspect by XTS which can do this sort of analysis of Xenapp access for you - http://www.xtsinc.com/dnn/Product/Overview/tabid/176/Default.aspx

If you've not modified the option file you're not collecting any data, if you're not collecting any data your historical usage reports aren't going to show any info at all.

...now I've had a chance to read the book...

Your ability to run reports from the license service is dependent on the license service logging the usage data

By default, report logging is turned off in MetaFrame Access Suite licensing. To activate report logging, add the REPORTLOG keyword to the options file. This keyword specifies the log location, and it specifies that the report log is not overwritten when the license server is restarted.

The options file is a server configuration file that defines licensing behaviour – your options file is probably C:\Program

Files\Citrix\Licensing\MyFiles\CITRIX.opt" on your license server. By default it'll have

NOLOG IN

NOLOG OUT

as default options. You'll want to add the following to the .opt file and restart the license service:

REPORTLOG + "c:\program files\citrix\licensing\ls\reportlog.rl"

This will store usage (for reporting) to the file reportlog.rl – the "+" symbol means that the file will not be overwritten when you start the service

As the log file can grow and become unwieldy; Citrix recommend not having your report log grow over 50MB. We archive our log files monthly – essentially a script runs on the 1^st of the month, stops the license service, moves the current report.rl file and renames it and restarts the license service.

I've got a script somewhere if you're interested?

We archive off our license log files monthly - but we use these to generate concurrent usage numbers

1. Historical Usage -> Add report logs (Add your reports from your archive)

2. Product Reports -> Choose your product (e.g. Enterprise| Concurrent User)

3. Product Reports -> Choose your date range (e.g. All)

4. Product Reports -> Choose your summary period (day/ week)

5. Product Reports -> Choose 'Number of licenses'

6. Generate the report

If we want to do a 'who logged on in the past month' we can use Edgesight

1. Edgesight – Devices->Performance->Sessions

2. Select 'Sessions for a group by day'

3. Select your group (we've terminal servers grouped by internal/external – you might have something different)

4. Select the date range

5. Generate the report

6. Export the data to CSV (Or excel, but CSV is quicker)

7. Import the file into Excel

8. Select user column & de-duplicate

9. The resulting list is who has accessed your service over the past month

Obviously, you can change the time frame to be day/week/quarter as you like.

Hello,

I am interested to know what others are doing to get daily concurrent user count for a monthly report?

Edgesight:

We have edgesight and I couldn't find report for this.

AMC:

Built-in Report Center in AMC also doesn't have anything for that.

License Console:

I thought Historical Usage has some good reports...

But whatever I select It came up with one one all the time.

May be I didn't use these tools properly or something I am doing wrong...

Any idea?

I can go for a third party tool too if it works. Any suggestions?

Thanks
