[THIN] Re: Blackberry PDAs over Citrix

I have synced USB BBs using USB-IT but there is a client component that must be 
installed so it wouldn't work on Linux
or CE thin clients.

 

BES 4.0 is due some time in December so I would wait for that.

Low-level port redirection over USB, the kind presumably required by PDAs for 
synchronization, is not supported over
Citrix MetaFrame according to Knowledgebase document CTX816193. I was hoping to 
hear from the field that one or more
have it working and it's great over COM ports, or using USB-IT, or it's not 
working very well at all and we should can
the plan to deploy BBs. We are in the early stages of technology recommendation 
for this group of users. I don't have a
problem recommending BBs if they can function in the field over our existing 
infrastructure, but if they do not play
well over what we have in place, I would rather seek a better solution for 
these users.

I would think that if your thin clients IOS and version of Citrix support USB  
that it should work. The syncing is
working on the server end via a db.

Rob Slayden rote:


We are considering the possibility of deploying Blackberry PDAs to some of
our field. These users would need to be able to sync periodically from a
desktop pub app on a Wyse WBT. I realize that USB synchronization is not
supported with the standard product (Citrix), and that COM port sync might
be a viable option. I also took a peek at the EOL USB-IT product and am
waiting on a callback to determine if it is supported on a thin client WBT
or if it requires a fat client. I also realize that the B.E.S 4.0 update
supports wireless sync of all PDA functions and not just Calendar and email.
That being said, I am curious to know if anyone has deployed Blackberry PDAs
successfully and is sync'ing over WBTs and Citrix over COM ports and/or USB
using USB-IT or any other products. There seemed to be some indication in
the archives that some were expe riencing problems with COM port
synchronization. I know that there was a timeout issue with client version
7.1 previously. Also, we may not be able to implement an upgrade to B.E.S
4.0 soon due to the necessity to tread carefully there because we have our
entire executive staff and IT depending upon it.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
