Pointer slow when deployed via Citrix XenApp

I have Acrobat Standard XI installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 boxes and deployed to users via Citrix.
Users have reported an issue whereby the mouse pointer is jittery as though the refresh rate on it is low whenever the select tool changes to the pointer below:
This only happens when the application is deployed via Citrix
When I remotely connect to the server and run the application I do not experience the same issue.
It only happens with this particular pointer, all others are fine
This only affects Acrobat Standard XI, Reader XI is fine.
We have raised the issue separately with Citrix themselves, but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and what, if anything the resolution was?

Adobe Reader was installed and running on all Citrix servers since their inception over a year ago.
Recently, we installed Adobe Standard on each server and during installation Adobe Standard asked whether Reader or Standard should be used as the default program.  Adobe reader was selected and 80-85% of the time, the Citrix servers observe this rule.
On other occasions, when users with access to Reader open a PDF, Citrix will present Adobe Standard instead of the default program.  At first, I thought it might be caused by a user with Standard already open but further testing proved Adobe Standard can be presented to a user of Reader even if there is no open session of Standard.

  • ODI Studio Slow when accessed via Citrix

    Hi !
    I login to ODI via Citrix Server. My ODI is installed on Citrix machine and my master repository and my work repository at a database which is not installed on the citrix machine.
    When i see the solution that is provided earlier in this thread to have the work repository setup locally - does this mean that the work repository needs to be setup on a database on citrix where my ODI is installed?
    Please validate and provide further inputs as to what are the other ways to resolve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prerna

    Hi Phanikanth
    Yes i did, the problem is when a user is created and if i logged in using that user ODI studio is very slow, but if i logged in using supervisor it works absolutely fine.

  • Adobe Reader users are occasionaly presented with Standard when published via Citrix XenApp 5.0

    We are publishing Adobe Standard to 4 users over 6 servers and have both Acrobat Standard and Reader installed on each Citrix server.  During installation of Standard, Reader was selected as the default application.
    Regardless of this configuration, infrequently the Citrix servers will present Acrobat Standard to users that are not listed as users of the application.  So far, we have not noticed any patterns of behavior and have noted the following:
    Although, all servers (1-6) have incorrectly presented Reader users with the Standard application at least once, only a few of the servers (1, 4, & 5) frequently violate the configuration settings;
    Reader users and Standard users can coexist on the Citrix server and be presented the appropriate application (i.e. 5 reader users can be presented Reader and 5 Standard users can be presented Standard at the same time).
    Citrix servers can present Acrobat Standard to Reader users even if there are no users of Standard accessing the server.
    Users are starting to experience two types of failures:a. Acrobat fatally crashes with the following event:
    Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 9.2.0.124, time stamp 0x4ac7308f, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0c094e16, process id 0x2aa8, application start time 0x01caf2b4e54acde3.
           b. Adobe Reader will simply stop responding and error out when being accessed
    Please submit any suggestions you might have for configuring these two applications to nicely coexist on a Citrix server.

  • Issues with running permission scripts on Hoted desktop via Citrix and when deploying via SCCM

    I am running a permissioning VBScript which runs when I do a standalone insallation manually running the power shell commands to add and publish the application.
    This only runs vis SCCM when a machine installation is acrried out but not a per user installation. Any ideas?
    The same script seems to run sometimes & sometimes does not on a hosted desktop with aps publish via citrix from the appv server. Any ideas?. A coppy of my Deploymentconfig.xml file userscript section that calls the script is below
    <UserScripts>
          <StartProcess RunInVirtualEnvironment="true">
            <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe</ApplicationId>
            <Path>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\AdobeSerialization.exe</Path>
            <Arguments>adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\prov.xml</Arguments>
            <Wait RollbackOnError="false" />
          </StartProcess>
          <StartVirtualEnvironment>
            <Path>WSCRIPT.EXE</Path>
            <Arguments>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\VFSCACLS.vbs -guid 6d0756af-b755-493b-8cee-4299e8666978 -error -name "Adobe Photoshop CS6"</Arguments>
            <Wait RollbackOnError="false" />
          </StartVirtualEnvironment>
        </UserScripts>
    The guys in the build team reckon this is an application issues but I can't see how it can be if the applications runs when manually calling the powersehell commands. Also like I said on the Hosted desktop one minutes the script runs and one minute it does
    not.
    Can someone help please?

    Hello,
    If deploying the application to the user, and the configuration file is updated as part of the content and distributed to the DPs, and then downloaded to the client and the client is enabled to run scripts - no I never had that issue.
    If I had something which didn't work I would usually verify what is on the Distribution Point?
    You can download the SCCM 2012 R2 toolkit to verify what is on the DPs;
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36213
    If it is deployed to the client - it means you can read the client log-file from SCCM. See the AppEnforce.log as a potential candidate;
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427342.aspx#BKMK_AppManageLog
    If it gets properly parsed by the App-V Client you can check the App-V event logs, see Tim Mangans blog post about enabling further debug-logs;
    http://www.tmurgent.com/TMBlog/?p=1247
    As I can't see what is happening within your Environment I would redo all the steps and verify what the results were of each step. If one step fails, I would then post what step I had performed up until that point, what the result were of each step and what
    was happening within the final step that I would consider a failure.

  • App gets runtime error 429 when deploying via SCCM

    I have an application I'm trying to deploy and it works fine when manually running the app (silently) on my test machine. When deploying it from SCCM and then trying to run the program you get a message saying "Run time error 429 - activex component
    can't create object".
    I can silently run the exe for the app from a command prompt. I can also do the same if I use the programs MSI file instead.
    If I use the exe, msi or batch from SCCM it fails. I've tried deploying when a user is logged in or logged off.
    One of the frustrating issues is I have been able to make it work on some systems, but not all. It fails more often than not. I'm wondering if it has something to do with a windows update (maybe .net framework) that isn't the same on each system.
    I have already checked logs and haven't been able to find anything.
    Any ideas?

    What the command-line does is up to the command-line and really has nothing to with ConfigMgr. You'll have to check with the vendor about what's going on. Error code 429 is not a standard Windows error code. You could add logging to your command-line to
    maybe get more details about what it cannot successfully do (how to do that is specific to your command-line and also has nothing to do with ConfigMgr).
    The only idiosyncrasy with running something in ConfigMgr is that it uses the local System account. This can have implications if the installer is expecting to add things to a normal user profile (which is generally  bad thing for installers to do but
    they sometimes do it anyway). You can simulate this by using psexec with the -I and -is parameters. Given that this is an ActiveX control, which I think may be user specific, this could the source of the issue.
    Another thing possibly at play is that IE is open. Since the installer is running as local System, it doesn't know this and tries to install the ActiveX control but can't because there are instances of IE open.
    There's really no way to know what's failing here with additional information about what the command-line is actually doing and failing to do.

  • Activation of Creative Cloud packages created with CCP 1.3 breaks when deploying via imaging

    Descption of the problem:
    If Creative Cloud products are deployed as a part of an OS image and the packages are created with CCP for Windows 1.3, the activation still breaks.
    The problem affects most of our class room computers but, however, not all of them.
    When a standard user tries to open any of the products, an error message is displayed instead of opening the the program. 
    Configuration error
    A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product.
    Restart your computer and re-launch the product.
    If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
    Error: 213:19
    Installed Products: Acrobat XI,Ai,Dw,Fl,Id and Ps 
    CCP version: 1.3.0, build 66
    CCP Workstation OS: Windows 7 SP1 32-bit
    Target OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
    Workaround: running APTEE on an resolves the issue every time. Yet according to Adobe this should not be necessary.
    Deployment workflow
    1. Create a single package containg all of the products with CCP and an Enterprise CC serial number.
    2. Customize Acrobat .mst file for the target language with Adobe Customization Wizard XI, leaving the serial empty. 
    3. Create a batch file to run ExceptionDeployer in pre mode, install the the other products and finally run ExceptionDeployer in post mode.
    4. Install the the package to a model computer using the batch.
    5. Run Windows's built-in sysprep tool  with OOBE and shutdown switches.
    6. Capture the image from the model computer and deploy it to other computers.
    We can unfortunately reliably reproduce this issue and we are, if not happy, but at least willing to provide you all the required logs and other info to find a real solution.

  • LMS3.2 Syslog reports very slow when send via email

    Hello,
    we have ~5000 devices in LMS3.2 and we have a problem with syslog reports.
    When I create a "severity level summary report" for 5000 devices for the last 24hours and select as run type "immediate" it needs ~2-3 minutes. That's ok.
    But when I create exactly the same report and select the run type "once" , it needs ~3 hours. ("Once" means that the report is send via email after it's finished).  It happens with report type "pdf" and "csv".
    What can be the problem ?  Or is it usual ???
    Regards
    Hendrik

    The scheduled reports can output a full list of messages where as the immediate reports output a limit of 10,000 records.  If you have a lot of syslog messages, it can take a considerable amount of additional time to generate a full report.

  • Citrix XenApp Unable to Open Published Applications. Via UAG Trunk

    Good Morning,
    I'm trying to publish XenApp through a UAG trunk. When I click in the XenApp icon I am presented with the Citrix login page and am able to log in. However, if I try to open any application I am prompted to either open or save the ICA file and on clicking
    open I always get the following message, "Unable to launch your application. Contact your helpdesk with the following information: Cannot connect to XenApp server. There is no Citrix XenApp server configured on the specified address." If I log in
    to the UAG server I can connect to the Citrix server and run all applications without error. If I save the ICA file the contents are as expected and the correct server is listed.
    Forefront UAG is running a two node NLB array with SP4 and Citrix is published via an F5 load balancer.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks.

    hi patrick,
    this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
    oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
    the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
    all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
    you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
    regards,
    christian

  • Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

    Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

    Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
    As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
    The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
    A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
    If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
    Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

    I am having a similar problem to thread (Sysprep

    fail to install.  They display X beside them.  The workaround is to sign into windows live account and install them. 
    I do have a custom start layout installed via a deploy task sequence (using command POWERSHELL -NonInteractive -Command Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath .\CustomStartLayout.bin -MountPath %SystemDrive%\)
    Disabling the custom layout import does not solve the issue.

  • Big problems when deploying cs6 via Jamf Casper

    Hi Everyone, Has anyone else come accross a similare issue?
    I manage casper for a large organisation and we are trying to roll out cs6 to the mac users.
    There are 3 flavours of cs6 being pushed out Design &Web Premium, Master collection and photoshop extended.  All macs are on 10.6.8 and a small handfull are on Lion. All macs have at least the cs5.5 version of this product installed, some also still have the cs4 version ( kept for backwards compatible work)
    I prepared the packages with AEMEE and uploaded both the install and uninstall for each flavour.
    When deploying design and web premium I have no issues it runs smooth and installs every time. I do this via a policy using the every15 trigger.
    When I deploy master collection or photoshop extended I get mixed results. On some machines it runs fine and installs but on most it fails. Casper gets to 97% then waits then fails.
    I get the following log from the install.
    /usr/sbin/jamf is version 8.52

  • Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

    Greetings everyone!
    I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
    I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
    I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
    Added them as applications to sccm software library.
    Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance. 
    But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
    I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
    My membership query-rules for this collection:
    Office 2013 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    Office 2010 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
    So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
    The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
    When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
    I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
    sites with deployment point.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Ejb-ref errore when deploying a previously working ear on weblogic 8.1

    when deploying an ear module on weblogic 8.1 i get the following error:
    The ejb-link 'CustomessagingBrick.jar/CustomMessaginBrick' declared in ejb-ref
    or ejb-local-ref 'ejb/Service2' in the application module 'cmbrick.war' could
    not be resolved. The target EJB for the ejb ref could not be found.
    The ear is composed of two sub-modules:
    CustomMessaginBrick.jar
    cmbrick.war.
    The same ear was deployed on weblogic 6.1.
    Every reference in the ear seems in the right place so i am really clueless.
    Hereafter i include the relevant portions of the deployment descriptors.
    Thanks in advance!
    Greets,

    the web.xml for cmbrick.war contains the following data:
    <ejb-local-ref>
    <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Service2</ejb-ref-name>
    <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
    <local-home>com.hutchison3g.core.brick.custom.messaging.CustomMessagingBrickLocalHome</local-home>
    <local>com.hutchison3g.core.brick.custom.messaging.CustomMessagingBrickLocal</local>
    <ejb-link>CustomMessagingBrick</ejb-link>
    </ejb-local-ref>
    its weblogic.xml file is the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN"

    <jndi-name>Service2</jndi-name>
    </ejb-reference-description>
    </reference-descriptor>
    </weblogic-web-app>
    while the weblogic-ejb-jar for CustomMessaging bricks contains the following:
    <weblogic-enterprise-bean>

    <jndi-name>Service2</jndi-name>
    </weblogic-enterprise-bean>....

    The issue is that WLS 6.1 didn't really support ejb-links properly. An
    ejb-link should allow you to link a webapp or an ejb to another EJB
    without requiring additional information or a global JNDI name on the
    target EJB.
    WLS 8.1 is following your ejb-link and telling you there's not enough
    information.
    You have 2 options:
    1) Remove the <ejb-link>...</ejb-link> from your web.xml. You'll be
    using just an ejb-reference at that point, but you've already included
    the necessary information in the weblogic.xml that we can locate the EJB
    via its global jndi-name
    or
    2) Change the ejb-link to be
    <ejb-link>CustomMessaginBrick.jar#CustomMessagingBrick</ejb-link>
    If you wanted to, you could then remove the reference info from the
    weblogic.xml
