Hi list,

We have a Citrix farm in which occasionally one of the servers becomes
inaccessible (KVM and network). The only thing to do is restart it with the
On/Off switch. We've been researching this for months now (it only occurs
about twice a month) but didn't find a solution. This week the issue
occurred with only 4 users on the server (Published Desktop). I couldn't
find anything in the RMS reports and I had a look  at the ISA-logs (iexplore
was present in the reports). About the time the issue occurred there was a
occurrence of a Windows update connection. I resolved the IP-address and it
turned out to be the local address of a client having an ICA connection with
the server involved.

Now the question is, cause I don't see any logic, could the local Windows
Update be the reason the terminal server becomes inaccessible or am I on a
wrong track?

Regards,
