Not sure if this applies to PN or PNAgent clients but the web client
determines the name from WFCNAME.INI in the root directory.  Make a login
script that deletes this file on all your computers and it will recreate the
next time they connect.

I rolled out an image that had WFCNAME.INI on the root by mistake and had a
few dozen PCs connected with the same name, took me few days to figure out
why.

Subject: [THIN] Duplicate Client Names




Is there a way to prevent duplicate Citrix client
names. Because of a large PC rollout, it appears that
the Citrix client name is the same on alot of PCs.
Because these machines are spread out among several
dozen facilities, and because we are having several
printing issues associated with duplicate client
names, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way you
could prevent people with a duplicate client name from
logging into a server.

That way people who do not have access will be forced
to call the helpdesk forcing them to change their
client name.

Thank you,

Raymond
