You may have a rogue process that keeps the session open, we have seen this with some applications that launch other utilities and they appear to Citrix to still be an active session, even when the user is disconnected. You should get the process list and see exactly what is running for these users..... Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Citrix on the other hand will think that they are still active. The Connection Center is gone from the users PC. Yet the CMC shows an active Citrix session. I wind up having to reset the session before they can log back in. I have them set up to only allow one active occurrence of the published application. Since the user doesn't have an active Citrix session on his workstation he is stuck until he can call the help desk. The problem is that this group of users works 7 days a week and the help desk is 5 days a week. I need a way for them to end an active session on their own. Thus the need for this script. Also since they are not "connected to the Citrix server" I need this script to run stand-alone on their workstation. As Chris Lynch talked about in an earlier e-mail I would like to create a ASP page that can be tied to NFuse. The only way that I can recreate this is to shutdown the PC (pull the power cord) without doing a Citrix log out first. I hope this makes sense.

I teach my users how to double-click the connection center (by the clock), highlight the app, and simply click logoff. This gets rid of their locked or frozen session, and they re-logon to the app. It is very easy to do and saves them and my helpdesk time. If this doesn't work for you, (for my own curiosity) what does the reset do for you that the logoff does not? Regards, Paul DeHaan CISSP, CCNA, CCA... Network Administrator J.M.

The problem that I have is that I don't know anything about setting up ASP pages or the "MFCOM wrapper DLL" that you talked about. Can you point me to any reading material that might assist me with this?

You can use the MFCOM wrapper DLL to query for the users session and to also reset it.

I have a need to allow users of published applications (running on PCs via NFuse 1.7) to reset their own sessions. I don't want to grant them Admin rights. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I am hoping to find a script or program that I can give to the user that will allow them to ONLY reset their own sessions. Thanks for the help!
