Rob,

I was in conversation (off the list) with Andy Lalaguna and he suggested to
go with FR2 upgrade this way:
1. Upgrade DC first
2. Upgrade other farm servers
What was happening to me before FR2 was this: I installed FR2 on my test
server and entered all my FR2 licenses. Since that a few of my users could
not refresh their PN client. Their accounts were OK on Windows side (I could
connect to a server through direct ICA connections and was able to log into
the network) but in Citrix they were getting "Credentials incorrect" error
every time they were trying to refresh PN client. I uninstalled FR2 from
that test server and they were good to go.

I think that issue was with IMA service and the fact that DC was not a FR2
yet. The other time I installed FR2 on the test server again it was excluded
from the farm at all and IMA service failed to start. Discussing that Andy
suggested to upgrade all my servers to FR2 (in 1 shot) and if I still have
problems set the FR level in the CMC to disarable one. I upgraded them and
the only side effect I had (that triggered my first post in this thread) was
this poor test server did not accept any ICA connections.

Basically JimK answered it all for me. I edited registry and server was back
online right away.

Thanks
Pavlo

Pavlo,

Don't know about your situation but normally you don't need to reboot =
the
test this after changing the FR level.

Rob,

Yes I had both FR2 connection and product licenses installed prior to =
full
farm update to FR2.

I did not try to change FR level as this would probably force me to =
reboot
to keep the IMA hierarchy in the right order. Every reboot is a pain =
cause
we run 24/7 operations.

Pavlo,

Probably a stupid question, but do you have FR2 licenses installed on =
=3D the
server? Meaning if you set both servers to FR1 or none can you log on?

Grx
Rob

Hi group.

I have a bit of a problem with my test server and I believe I'm close =
=3D but
still can't figure this out.

I have a 3 server's XPa farm (2 production servers and 1 test box). I =
=3D just
updated it to a CTX FR2/SP2 on Wed. Today I can not connect to my test
server through the ICA connection to a server's desktop with the =3D =
following
message: "Can not connect to  a Citrix server. The Citrix server you =3D =
have
selected is not accepting connections."=3D20

Here is the information I gathered so far:

I can connect to the server's desktop using RDP client.
Both ICA and RDP idle sessions are listening (seen from CMC)
I deleted and recreated ICA Connection in CTX Connection Manager ICA
connection permissions are same with 2 other servers Recreated LHC =3D
Restarted IMA rebooted server Everything looks good in CMC (I see load
balancing counters, idle sessions, logged on RDP users, etc. All 3 =
servers
have FR =3D set to 2

That problem has nothing to do with CMC server properties setting =3D =
"Enable
logons to this server" as if you disable logons you will at least see
server's Metaframe wallpaper and get an eror message "Remote logons are
currently disabled".

Can somebody point me into the right direction?
Other environment information: Win2000 SP2 on Citrix servers, Win2000 AD
domain, NT4 BDCs, clients are mostly PN ver.6.20.985=3D20

Any help is very appreciated as I have run out of ideas.
