Are you running you login scripts synchronously or asynchronously?

 

Is it possible that wfshell.exe is abending?  What do the event logs show?

Rick,

Not a dumb question at all.

Only the two servers for this pilot at the moment - and only one actually
live (using the other one as test at the moment - so no, but I expect other
issues when we expand).

 

No desktop I'm afraid. All published apps - my main farm is all desktops,
but for this environment I decided to go with published apps due to the way
that the CAG/AAC has hooks into PS4 (not that we're using them at the
moment). O.K. so I didn't give the full picture in my note below but I have
set up a second WI site also for testing purposes. When I can get
consistency through this I'll work back to AAC and then CAG.

 

Despite 'manually' mapping as part of the logon script, when I get my C:
drive I also get my U: drive (I have a U on my PC). This U: is not mapped as
part of the logon script so I suspect this is not having any effect.

 

So what's the best way of wrapping that up as a published app (I know I'm
going to regret having asked that one).

 

Regards,

 

Alan.

Hi Alan,

 

Dumb question, but how many Citrix servers do you have?

 

Could the inconsistency be due to different ts connection settings on
different servers?

 

Mapping aside, a fairly slick way to access client drives without the
mapping overhead is by using a shortcut to \\client\c$ <file:///\\client\c$>
on the desktop to acces local files.

 

regards,

 

Rick

Andrew,

If you mean 'trusted' or 'untrusted' in the sense of the accomapanying
article by Jeff - then it's untrusted. It's just that its's not consistent
e.g. I logged in this morning through our WI and got my C: drive. Experience
tells me that if I now log out and back in again there is a high probability
that I won't get this drive.

 

It's really frustrating - I can sort of understand the rationale to say that
WI connection may be 'untrusted' - but surely that's down to us to decide
(and enable). Our homeworkers are currently using 'known' PC's through an
SSL VPN tunnel, all sorts of end-point scans etc. The business has
eventually decided that these would come into the category of 'trusted'.

 

Regards,

 

Alan.

when it fails is your connection trusted or untrusted?

Have been requested to provide access to the C: for our homeworkers (after
much of a battle). Have enabled the appropriate policies including Citrix
ones and whilst I can see my C: through PN connection to the desktop I'm
having what I can only call inconsistent c: drive mapping through WI. See
the note from Jeff Pitsch
(http://www.brianmadden.com/content/content.asp?ID=504) to confirm. Anyone
with any ideas - I've tried doing a 'manual' mapping at logon but this is
also inconsistent.
