Yeah, further to this
1) we reinstalled the ReceiverInside option
2) Appsense Application Manager was then blocking all kinds of new
executables under the receiver "c:\program files (x86)\Citrix\Ica
Client\receiver" which meant that the end users started getting the Blue
PNAGENT Icon again, only to later find that it would stop connecting to
our web interface. (blue Icon with red cross)
3) we had to open up our appsense AM to allow the new receiver - at
which point the receiver could 'load fully' and the only icon in the
system tray the end users get is the Black receiver icon.
According to citrix the receiver is mandatory, as it the ICA_Client the
only thing that isn't is the PNAgent option which is only included in
the CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe (as described here -
http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/receiver-30-windows/ica-configu
re-command-line.html) <- it even describes a bug of the HXD flash volume
playing but only for windows 2003. (similar to another problem we have)
Party!

I'm currently digging into this, apparently for users to use the
agent/receiver they also need the self service plugin, however that to
use that self-service plugin to launch applications it requires delivery
services. Delivery services kind of being like an improved web
interface but not the same thing...?
With the new receiver I've found it respects applications that are
pushed into the users start menu however it looks to me that you need
the self-service plugin or they have to hit a web interface server to
launch apps that aren't pushed into the start menu. Which is lame.
I don't think this is what you were asking exactly but figured I'd at
least share in your "WTF citrix?" moment...

We have installed the receiver 3.0 on our test environment.
We use xenapp only - not XenDesktop etc...
And have found that when calling pnagent.exe or pnmain.exe the icon is
now black - called the receiver - along with numerous and options to
exit, Preferences etc.....
All the 'right click' option have changed - users can open preferences
and turn on settings, right click and exit the application.
Question:
For access 'just the same way as previous' can we just load PNAGENT as
it used to run?
Or alternatively can we just 'hide the preferences and exit' menu items
in the receiver window?
If we use this ADM file (or its listed registry keys)
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX126787
<http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX126787> )? If we hide the Icon -
how will clients refresh their applications?
Or do we need to stay with version 12.x of the XenApp Client and be done
with it???
Cheers
James
