Hi, A number of my customers have it running and I can't recall it being particularly difficult. Vendors that make comments like that need to be reminded that there are now millions of seats of TS/Citrix and if they want to exclude themselves from that market with that sort of attitude, I'd be tempted to ask them if they could recommend a competing product. Seriously, the bulk of the problems you have with apps on TS/Citrix are due to the fact the applications are badly written or implemented. I'm seeing an increasing incidence of exactly the same problems happening on workstations where the users are no longer local admins. Registry and file system security just doesn't register on a lot of developer's radar, despite the fact that very explicit guidelines are available. There is one comeback you can use though. Ask if the application is Microsoft Windows certified. If it is, it's not allowed to clobber system components (eg replace/palce files in system32), must use HKCU\Software for all user configuration parameters, and stay strictly in it's own directory (instead of using the root of C:\ etc for temporary files store). If it isn't Microsoft Windows certified, ask why not, didn't it pass certification? ;-) regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems Level 2, 30 Little Cribb Street Coronation Drive Office Park Milton Qld 4064 tel: +61 7 32431847 fax: +61 7 32431992 rick.mack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Greg Reese Sent: Sat 4/02/2006 10:44 To: Thin Subject: [THIN] Cognos has anyone got Cognos Impromptu version 7 running on their farm? I have a Win2k3, PS4 farm i need to get it loaded on. The consultant from the company who sold this to us is telling me that the customers who try it on Citrix have "nothing but problems". Of course he follows it up with gems like "no report writer runs on Citrix" and "Citrix has too many other problems anyway". It doesn't look like anything spectacular to get running but If anyone else has fought with it, I would be interested to hear the tricks if there are any. Thanks!
