Sunray conneting to Citrix Server

We are currently looking at implementing Sunrays across our entire hospital, I'm not very familar with how they work but I have a general idea. The vendor we are working with is suggesting that we use plain Windows Terminal servers instead of Citrix, as they say the logins will be slower with Citrix. Is this true? If so why is it slower. The sunray clients would be used just to connect to a terminal or citrix server of which all the apps would run off of, we need to be able to easiely and quickly move from device to device, so if Citrix logins are really going to be slower than straight terminal server logins that might be a problem, but I would like some information to back this up. Also does the Sunray solution have a password managment/single sign on capability? So once I login to the system, I no longer have to log into all my individual applications?
Thanks

Citrix corp. provides ICA clients for Solaris X86 & SPARC both as a native program and you can also use the Citrix JAVA ICA client,
if you wnat to start the ICA connection with a Java Webstart launcher from a Portal Server.
The JAVA ICA client is architecture independent and it makes it possible to launch all ICA session from the Portal server rather than
updating many PC's and server with architecture dependant binaries.
These binaries are available from Citrix download site Not from Sun.
As a Citrix server also serves RDP connections its possible to talk to the Citrix Farm with RDP using the Sun ray Windows Connector ( uttsc )
The Citrix ICA Client has an option to cache the User credentials in the users home directory .
The Sun ray Windows Connector ( uttsc ) also has a small addon program that can cache the users credentials.
this is not the same as Single_sign_on , but a way to fake it - if you can trust the security of the homedirectory.
Single sign on between UNIX/LINUX on one side and MS Windows Active directory is an evolving field at this point in time.
It is possible to set up Kerberos across domain authenitication between AD and a unix Kerberos installation, but its not simple,
and you wont find commersial support for the solution. Its a very consultant friendly/dependent solution at this point in time.

Remote desktop and citrix server

On my corporate network, which is Windows based, we are able to hit our Citrix server from inside the firewall using the Windows remote desktop program. How do I do the same with my Mac, when I am on the network inside our firewall? I can reach the server with no problems from outside the firewall.

What application are you using to try and connect? I would guess that you're using the Citrix app or Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, neither of which will be most likely to get assistance with in this forum which is for Apple's own software for managing networked Macs. If you'll tell us what software you're using to try and connect, we can probably direct you to the place where you'll be most likely to get quick and accurate suggestions.

I understand that you're trying to download the file to a local computer through Citrix. In this case you need autorizations in Citrix for your user ( CItrix user)

Bug in 817
If your running from the CD, then you need to copy all the files to your network somewhere.
Once on the network/hard disk, search the contents of the CD for a file named symcjit.dll and rename to symcjit.old. There will be more than 1 of these files, and you must rename all of them.
Then run setup again.

Issues with Adobe reader x not working as regular users on a citrix server

Have 1 citrix server. Adobe reader x installed. Some users are able to open adobe reader, When I add the users who can not open adobe reader to administrators group. they still can not open adobe. While in their session if i do a run as . I run it as the domain admin, then adobe reader opens up.
This makes no sense, any help would be appreciated.

You should ask in the Reader forum. Normally, the product would be installed on the local machine. If you were talking about Acrobat, then the server use is a violation of the EULA, but it is probably just a networking issue with Reader.

How can I set firefox as default browser in citrix server, only for few groups. does -silent -setdefaultbrowser option working in latest version?

How can I set firefox as default browser in citrix server, only for few groups. does -silent -setdefaultbrowser option working in latest version?

I think so: [http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/330585-firefox-default-browser-for-all-users/]
Can you also set the default programs in the Group Policy User Settings?

How to do patch upgradation in citrix server ?

Dear all,
How to do patch upgradation in citrix server (SAP B1 2005B PL41 to PL49) ?
Whether i also need to do same in db server ?
Jeyakanthan

Hi Jayakanthan,
Patch Upgrade is done on SAP Server only.After Completion of Patch 49 upgrade in SAP Server
then open SAP B1 in server machine it start to upgrade DB after completed DB Upgrade
In Citrix Server open the SAP B1 it start the upgrade process after completed
restart the citrix server.
There is no separate Patch instalation in citrix server.
in Citrix server SAP client only installed so you can just open the
SAP B1 in citrix server and other client machine also it automatically start to
upgrade.
*Close the thread if issue solved.

ESSO delete local cache in Citrix Server

Hi all,
I would to know when configuring the ESSO in the Citrix server, why do I need to enable the "Delete local cache"? Any problem if I disallow to delete local cache in the Citrix server?
Thanks

it has to do with the citrix server being a shared system. You should also be enabling an option to store local cache in memory only as well. I'm not sure as to the exact reason, but I do know it doesn't seem to function properly when those settings are not set as recommended.

Performing E2ETrace Analysis unuseable in Citrix-Server-Environment?

Hallo,
Since SAP CLient Plug-In 1.11 for E2E Trace Analysis, we get the error "ERROR: Found running application instance(s): please close the open application instance" if IE8 sessions are startet before launching the plugin.
so, executing the E2E -Trace analysis on CITRIX-Server with the Plugin seems to be unusable, because a lot of user might logged into CITRIX Server and performing IE8-Sessions?
are there any suggestions?
Thank you very much
With kind regards
W.Grumptmann

Dear Guilherme Balbinot,
Thank you for your answer.
yes, i read this note and i used the latest plugin attached to this note.
They wrote: "Terminal services environments such as WTS and Citrix are not explicitly tested".
You have to stop existing IE-Sessions. also in Citrix-environment.
so you can not use it in Citrix Environment where a lot of user are performing IE-Sessions.
With kind regards.

VFP application in Citrix server

Hi,
I have a vfp application and it is using Microsoft Outlook to send emails. If we access the application via Citrix server, which Outlook application is it using? i.e. Outlook installed in the Citrix server or Outlook installed in the clients computer?
As I know it should use Outlook installed in Citrix server. Please confirm this. Thanks.
Best Regards.

The best bet is to make a small test exe with just that CREATEOBJECT() call and see what is instanciated. Setup a client without outlook and run it on citrix server with outlook and you'll see.
Reading
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/Citrix_server.html
and
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/WinFrame.html
Citrix Server works just like any other virtual or real machine you connect to via remote desktop.
The apps running there will OLE automate the ole servers there, so eg Outlook has to be installed in that virtual windows alongside your vfp app and vfp will use that server side outlook.
Your program does not automate the client, it's only visualized on it via a citrix client side software used to connect to citrix server and display it.
There is a slight chance such virtualisation software enhances and incorporates more from the client, eg one technology having spread among virtualisation solutions is seamless integration of the remote application windows, so it seems like the remote apps
run local. The display is accelerated in not sending the graphics to clients but GDI+ or DirectX 2D commands, which can be executed by client graphics hardware.
And it is just a small step to forward any ole server instanciateions like CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application") to be executed at the client.
So finally as first said, make a small test EXE and you know for sure what happens.
Bye, Olaf.

Using Crystal Reports on a Citrix server

Post Author: rmarty
CA Forum: Deployment
I have a 2003 .net windows application that internal crystal reports built in using Crystal 11 SP2. On a basic client the merge modules and the reports run fine without incident.
This does not work on a Citrix server. I get a report load error.
Does the CR 11 Runtime need to be installed on the Citrix server?
Is there some special procedures or applications I need to install?
I don't believe I should have to install a server license for this to work or be licensed.
Anyone have experience with CR11 in a windows application running on a Citrix server?

Hello,
There is no supported method of using Crystal Reports without deploying the appropriate runtime files. Since Crystal Reports is not fully managed by the .NET framework this additional step is required.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

JetForms processing slow on new Citrix server

JetForms processing on a new Citrix server running Windows 2008 R2 takes twice as long as on the legacy Windows 2003 server.
Example invoice processing/printing: Legacy = 8-10 seconds New = 16-20 seconds.
Printing same invoice directly from Adobe Reader takes 5.5 seconds on both servers, so it doesn't appear to be a network issue.
Any ideas why the latency? We are currently testing with NO antivirus software installed/enabled on the new server.

Hi Paul -- thanks again for taking time to work with me on this.   I did the DOS test and even copying a 6meg file was practically instantaneous on the new server.
I had previously reported on the 2 lines in the log file that are adding the delay.   The thing is, there are actually 8 total lines in the log file accessing the same network location.   Only 2 of the eight lines are delayed comparing new vs old server.   Here are all of the lines in order as they appear in the log file. (There are 129 actual entries in the log, but these are the only 8 that access the C: drive location):
03/15/13 10:50:21 C:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [307]Launching task '"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfptool" "C:\jfsrvr\Data\IN1006518.dat" "IN1006518_ds.dat" "C:\jfsrvr\jfmerge.ini" -stripport'.

NormalEmail.dotm pop up 'save as' problem, citrix server

Hello,
Problem:
When sending a Word document as a PDF (File -> Save and
Send -> Send as PDF) via Outlook. A continuous prompt
of 'Save As' shows up trying to save the NormalEmail.dtm file to the users profile. The email sends but this pop-up occurs every time.
Our Environment:
Citrix user profile management.
Outlook 2010
Word 2010
Temp Fix:
Deleting normal.dotm and normalemail.dotm under C:\profiles$\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Copying our default NormalEmail.dotm file to that location.
This is a solution until the user logs off and back onto the citrix server refreshing their Email Profile (Unpacking/Unloading)
Searching through the forums, people mentioned outlook addins, but running the Outlook client in Safemode offered no solution
Thank you

Hi,
Please open your Registry Editor and check on the AppData registry value to see if it is set to a value date other than %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. If so, try changing it back to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming and then test the issue again.
If above doesn't work, we can also try adding the following registry key to see if it helps:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Microsoft.OutlookBackup.1
DWORD: RequireShutdownNotification
Value: 1
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan
