If you have unique hostnames for the PC's this isn't too
bad. Our problem arose because the ICA client installation
inserts the hostname of the machine into C:\WFCNAME.INI.
If you image a PC and distribute it to the enterprise, all
PC's look alike. You can delete the file C:\wfcname.ini
from the clients and they will assume the hostname of the
client upon the next connection. Good practice is to
delete WFCNAME.INI before taking the image.
We created a batch file that deletes v:\wfcname.ini
and put it into All Users Startup folder on the Citrix
server. (We tried putting it into the application
compatibility scripts\Logon folder but evidently
the client drive isn't mounted yet when these run.

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
