Hi Miguel,
It takes time for the server to detect a session has been disconnected, so if
the client reconnects too quickly the server won't realise that there's an
existing (nearly) disconnected session and will create a new one. The fact that
things work okay %75 of the time means it's almost working okay.
In an NT 4/MF 1.8 environment, you will have to enable ICAKeepalives by
creating some registry values on each server.
ICAKeepalive are enabled by creating the value:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\IcaEnableKeepAlive, reg_dword, 0x1
and the KeepAlive timer is controlled by the value:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\IcaKeepAliveInterval, reg_dword,
0x3C (60 decimal)
This value is in seconds and 60 seconds is a good place to start. Much less
and you risk disconnecting session every time there's a minor comms hiccup.
The following policy could also be added to your machine policy template to
make things easier:
POLICY "ICA KeepAlives"
KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix"
PART "IcaEnableKeepAlive" CHECKBOX
VALUENAME "IcaEnableKeepAlive"
DEFCHECKED
END PART
PART "IcaKeepAliveInterval (secs)" NUMERIC
VALUENAME "IcaKeepAliveInterval"
DEFAULT "60"
MAX 600
MIN 1
END PART
END POLICY ; ICA keepalives
regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] sessions not reconnecting.
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out what could be the reason why some sessions
will not reconnect but instead just create a new session on another server.
I have 20 servers (MF1.8, NT4) and they are in 5 different subnets;
they all provide the same published application which is load balanced across
all 20 servers. Our wireless users are having problems when they loose
connection (walk in an elevator for example) when they try to reconnect they
just get a new session instead.
I do know:
It does not happen always, I'd say 75% of the time the reconnect as
they should.
When it happens, they always connect to a different server and the
server they were previously on has a disc session listed.
Thank you for any insight.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
