I understand that, but why?  There would be no additional cost in making
that TS Farm Citrix instead.

No Metaframe (or whatever it's called this week) on those server, just
straight TS.

Hi, any ideas on this?  I found this article:

http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=118&entryID=4912&;
fromSearchPage=true

Which states this behavior is by design.  Does this mean pass-through
authentication will not work from a terminal server?  If so, does anyone
know if there are any Microsoft articles or other information from Citrix
that details this?  Thanks!

Good morning, and happy Friday everyone.

I'm running into a strange problem here with pnagent.  I'll try to break
down the situation as best as possible.  The problem is, users RDPing into a
terminal server (Win2k, XP clients), then using pnagent for their published
apps.  We have pass-through authentication set as the only choice in the
config file, and it is set as default.  

When a user logs into the TS, they are prompted with a login box.  If they
right-click on the pnagent icon and choose properties, the Logon Mode field
is blank.  Clicking the drop-down shows the pass-through authentication
option, but if that is selected, it does not work.  It will disconnect them
when hitting OK, then if they try to reconnect, the login box comes up, and
if they go back into the pnagent properties, the Logon Mode field is blank
again.

Their pilot environment is 2 load balanced WI4 servers on Win2k3 SP1, 3 load
balanced Win2k terminal servers, and 4 MPS4 servers on Win2k3 SP1.

Now here's where it gets strange.  Local XP clients work fine with pnagent.
A user (admin or normal user), can login directly to the console of one of
the terminal servers, and pnagent works fine, but if they RDP into the
terminal server, even using the same userid, pnagent behaves as above.

I've been through the Citrix KB article CTX368624 (troubleshooting
pass-through authentication) as well as the articles it references.  I've
tried various forms of the client install, including a pre-packaged one
created here that works fine on XP desktops, and the latest from Citrix's
site.  I'm running out of ideas here, so if anyone has seen anything like
this, or has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Adam
