Dear Thinlist

Australia has just experienced once of its worst natural disasters in history with over one hundred
lives lost, entire families gone and houses and towns destroyed by a devastating fire. It is a rare
time I use forums such as these to reach out for help, but in this case Australian victims of this
terrible event need everyone's assistance. Australia's are known for their giving attitude, and they
would help anyone, anytime, no matter what. I know the community of the thinlist have the same
giving attitude and I ask on behalf of the Australian's affected by this recent devastation, that if
anyone can donate a small amount, it would help so many. Anyone who wishes to donate to the
Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009 can do so through the Red Cross at www.redcross.org.au.

Thank you to those who offer any support. It is greatly appreciated.

I lived and worked out there for two years with my family. It was
awesome! It's like living in a corona commercial. It is also a great

[THIN] OT: Might be looking for a server admin

Been a while since I posted for staff (and I'm not a hiring manager anymore) but here goes

We may have an opening within a few months for an experienced windows server admin. Knowledge of w2k3 & AD is essential, vmware esx, sql, exchange 2003, citrix, RedHat & HP SAN experience is quite desirable. Prior experience on a DOD site and prior/existing security clearance is a plus.

Must be able to receive a favorable SSBI, so sorry - only US citizens need to inquire.

Work site is located in the Marshall Islands. 85F year-round, income is exempt from Federal income tax, housing/utilities are provided, privately owned cars aren't allowed (big money saver). Full insurance, 401k, annual vacation bonus. World-class diving and deep-sea fishing opportunities, small town environment. We now have Burger King andl Subway!!!! Woo-hoo!

Anyway, it's not definite but it's very likely going to happen. For the right candidate it's possible that this could be an accompanied position - i.e., you can bring your family (great place to raise kids, private school paid for by employer, very safe community). If you're single it's automatically an unaccompanied position and your meals are free too.

Salary is pretty comparable to the states - figure out what you spend on taxes, cars, housing and utilities and you'll see that it's not a bad deal at all.

Interested, send me your resume and I'll get it in the manager's hands.

thanks

A simple VB script can parse and reformat the data for you… What does the original text file look like and what do you want it to look like? I could whip something up here in a couple of minutes.

Subject: [THIN] OT: advanced search & extract from a text file

here's the scenario - I need to run HP Download Manager and update our jetdirects. Unfortunately, we block broadcasts at the routers. I can export the printers reg key from our print server and do a search on "portname", but the actual portname is 2 lines down from the line containing the actual port name. So you have something like this:

Name: portname
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Data: IP_10.1.1.10

Now obviously I can search on "IP_" and get most of them, but that'll leave out a number of printers where we're using the jetdirect hostname as the portname (Greg will never believe that I convinced people to go this route and get away from static IPs and DHCP reservations. :D )

Anyone have any ideas? In my younger, semi-smarter days I was able to whip up small codes in BASIC or FORTRAN that could do what I want, but I've long since forgotten how to do stuff like that.

[THIN] Re: OT: HP TCs as IE kiosks

Steve,

Have you turned off 'Show friendly HTTP error messages' under the Advanced tab in IE and tried the site?

I'm wondering if it's a permissions issue, since I'm guessing you're logged into the TC as a local account.

[THIN] Re: IE Application work in Published Desktop but not as a Published App

If you're trying to launch a Java applet you may be able to run it
from the Java Web Start program instead of the browser. Look in the
html source for the applet tags.

[THIN] Re: IE Application work in Published Desktop but not as a Published App

Try this first

Copy these lines below in to notepad and save to a .vbs file. You can play with the settings once you get it working.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set objExplorer = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

objExplorer.Navigate "http://serverexample.com/IT"

objExplorer.ToolBar = 0

objExplorer.StatusBar = 0

objExplorer.Width=1000

objExplorer.Height = 700

objExplorer.Left = 0

objExplorer.Top = 0

objExplorer.Visible = 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a batch file to run cscript nameofyourscript.vbs

Then point your published application to your batch file.

Hi

Im still having issues with my Web Based Application in that I cannot get them working via a Published Application. The Application in question is Web based and uses JAVA (1.5.0). The Process of the App when working is as follows:

Open IE
IE launches JAVA popup which is used for Application Authentication
When JAVA popup opens, IE automatically closes leaving only JAVA popup on screen

The Application works fine if I Publish a Desktop and manually launch it. When I run it via a Published Application, IE starts then closes as it should but the JAVA popup doesn't open. This issue is really starting to annoy me as Im not allowed to Publish a Desktop in my organisation.

I tried to run the Application in a window (non seamless) - same issue, doesn't work.
The Application does not work as a Published App when connecting using RDP.
We are running Windows 2003 with Presentation Server 4 with R04

I hope someone can help as its very annoying

My suspicion is mmhook.dll or SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration. What version of XenApp? What rollup hotfix?

One other thing I just remembered, when you run it through a published desktop see if you have a Sun directory under your application data folder. Try copying it to your application data folder when you run it through a published application to see if it works then.

Subject: [THIN] Re: IE Applications work in Published Desktop but not as a Published App

Hi Jeremy

Im simply publishing IE sites (iexplore.exe with various Intranet URL's). The sites are all new and require a newer JAVA version which I have already installed (1.50). All the Intranet sites work via a Published Desktop which validates JAVA is OK. The sites all load Java applet on IE startup so Im not sure if this is playing up when run as a Published Application.

I will investigate IntervalsForLogoffCheck setting. Hopefully this setting doesn't affect my other apps that run on my servers..

Thanks
Ang

Hi Angela,

What are you actually publishing? It sounds like the process is not starting up quick enough, so the session just logs off. This is as designed. There is a registry key to manage this called IntervalsForLogoffCheck. Just google it for a full explanation.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Subject: [THIN] IE Applications work in Published Desktop but not as a Published App

Hi

I have the strangest issue with some JAVA IE based Apps start then will close straight away. This only occurs when IE is Published. If I publish a Desktop, I can manually open IE and can run all my JAVA based IE Apps without any issues. Issue only occurs when IE is published..

I tried running Filemon on the Citrix Server but couldn't see anything obvious. What should I look at in trying to resolve this?

Thanks
Angela

Any examples would be appreciated

Subject: [THIN] IE Application work in Published Desktop but not as a Published App

Hi

Im still having issues with my Web Based Application in that I cannot get them working via a Published Application. The Application in question is Web based and uses JAVA (1.5.0). The Process of the App when working is as follows:

Open IE
IE launches JAVA popup which is used for Application Authentication
When JAVA popup opens, IE automatically closes leaving only JAVA popup on screen

The Application works fine if I Publish a Desktop and manually launch it. When I run it via a Published Application, IE starts then closes as it should but the JAVA popup doesn't open. This issue is really starting to annoy me as Im not allowed to Publish a Desktop in my organisation.

I tried to run the Application in a window (non seamless) - same issue, doesn't work.
The Application does not work as a Published App when connecting using RDP.
We are running Windows 2003 with Presentation Server 4 with R04

I hope someone can help as its very annoying

Thanks
Angela

[THIN] Microsoft Virtual PC in Citrix

Hey All,

Has anybody successfully run Microsoft Virtual PC through Citrix? We are finding that it is taking a lot of constant CPU under Windows 2003 where it does not with Windows XP. I know it is not supported under Windows 2003 but OS/2 isn't supported either and we have to run that too which is why we are trying to get MS Virtual PC working.

Thanks,
