Well, mainly the servers would just BSOD randomly.  First we thought it was
printers but we removed all drivers but the hplj4 driver and it kept doing
it.  Then we started having issues with the mcaffee service just crashing
and causing an error on the server.  we took it off the citrix servers
completely and they went back to running normally.

How did it blow up your servers?  We've been running 4.5.1 in the house with
the e500 Policy Orchestrator and haven't had any "hey, McAfee killed your
server" issues.  We are having a domain controller issue (cannot find it)
every now and then, and come to think of it, it could be in the same time
frame since McAfee came on board, but I wouldn't think that could be the
problem.  Any more info would be great.

a happy camper. Been using Trend for about a month now and it works great.

Anyone have any comments on the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of McAfee's 
4.5.1 netshield running on Windows 2000 w/MetaFrame XPa? I have seen a lot 
of threads on Trend Micro - is that the preferred virus scan software in 
the Citrix environment? All of our NT workstations already run McAfee, just 
not our Citrix servers.

Thanks for any help.
