First they need to fix the issue of needing admin privileges on the
box to install the client. THEN they can work on this. :)

All,
I have an idea and I would like to get your opinions and possible
support. I mentioned to my SE today that I would like to see
Citrix work
on the client update database. This potentially useful tool has
not been
updated in years. As you know, the CU db only handles the .exe version
of the client and will not update a client that was installed
using the
.msi. I would like to see the ability of the db to handle the msi
packages that citrix now gives us as well as the ability to import
custom .msi to update clients. In organizations like mine, while
SMS is
a possibility, it isn't a great choice. I am of the opinion that I
really only want to keep clients that are actually using citrix up to
date. I am not worried about installs that never touch the
environment.
It seems to me that the client update db is exactly what could do
the job.
If those of you who know your SEs or have other contacts with Citrix,
let me know your thoughts on this idea. If enough of us are for it, it
could be included in a future upgrade.
thanks for letting me ramble,
pw
