Using Windows 2003 Server Native Terminal Services. However, I'm
guessing that even in a MetaFrame environment your suggested config
would be the only way to get a blinking cursor.

Are you using MetaFrame?
I wonder if enabling SpeedScreen and configuring EXE profiles for the
apps in question would allow the device to render the blinking locally?

That is a good idea. I already reluctantly went down this path on the
Application side (Oracle Forms), but there is significant effort
required to place triggers for visual appearance in each record/field
that the users can navigate. It can be done, but from an administrative
perspective, that is in my mind "going the wrong way", i.e. every
application would need further special consideration.
Anyone have any suggestions/steps for modifying the cursor
characteristics? (width, height, color, translucency)

=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D What if Microsoft enabled an alternate character =

color?
i.e. what if you =3D3D3D3D3D could make the cursor, larger, or white, or =

some
other characteristic which =3D3D3D3D3D would make it visiable without

Thanks for checking on this, Claudio. I am not convinced that the two
primary reasons for disabling functionality this holds water.
1) If "some" applications break when seeing -1, then shouldn't those
applications get fixed, rather than globally disabling the functionality
=3D3D3D3D3D at the platform level for all environments and applications?
2) The CPU (and bandwidth) impact of the CursorBlinkRate is miniscule =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D if the blink rate is set to a moderate pace. In =
=3D
addition,
=3D3D
to
the =3D3D3D3D3D scalability point, in our multi-farm Windows 2000 =
Terminal
Services environment we routinely have 250+ concurrent sessions per
server, all with blinking cursors.
To Joe's point earlier on the placement of the blinking cursor, it needs
=3D3D3D3D3D to be enabled on the server, as any client side =3D
implementation,
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
such as Citrix's SpeedScreen, becomes a hassle to configure, and judging
from SpeedScreen, functionality/presentation-wise is marginal.
SpeedScreen was/is primarily a latency countermeasure anyway, not a
bandwidth =3D3D3D3D3D reduction feature. As bandwidth and CPU usage =3D
really
are non issues with the CursorBlinkRate feature, I maintain that
Server-side control of this functionality should be enabled.
Thanks again for presenting this on behalf of the CCC (Concerned
CursorBlinkRate Community) ;-)

Ok I talked with the developers on the TS group in Redmond last week.
Resuming their explanation: 1. Some applications go crazy when they see
=3D3D3D3D3D the -1 setting to stop the cursor blinking (as we do on =3D
Windows
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
2000)
so =3D3D3D3D3D they took this out on 2003 and simply ignore the > 0 =3D
setting
=3D3D
in
=3D3D3D a TS session =3D3D3D3D3D and the cursor does not blink. 2. As =
you =3D
are =3D3D
aware
of, =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D the cursor blinking requires timers what consume =
CPU =3D
=3D3D
cycles so
there was also a scalability factor on this decision. They are aware of
the issue and it is on their plate but I cannot say for sure if we will
see a formal fix/patch for =3D3D3D3D3D that (I think we will) and they =
=3D
told
=3D3D
me
they =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D have no idea on a timeframe for this.
