Rick,
This has been our response to software developers for the last year or so
and it really works. They all claim to be Windows certified but do not
realize that this REQUIRES being compatible with Terminal Servers....!

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

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!
Greg
