Hi Jason,
 
Nope. Probably just a problem we'd prefer to forget.
 
Had a customer running 350+ published apps on NT 4.0/ MF 1.8 and things were 
just starting to break. We had the luxury of being able to split their farm in 
half and things stabilized. 
 
However we have another customer with 250+ published apps and no IMS where 
things are still working fine.
 
IMS just compounds the problem because PN is used by IMS as well. So if you 
have 150 IMS packages, that just adds to the PN load.
 
In 1.8 PN is handled on a per-server basis with each server maintaining it's 
own, sometimes incomplete published application list. Published app information 
was stored in each server's registry and things could get really interesting at 
times.
 
If the ICA client connects to a server that is a bit sick, it won't get a 
complete list of published apps and you'll get PN icons disappearing etc.
 
XP/MPS with PNAgent is much better, both from an architecture and stability 
viewpoint. But if you're still running 1.8, then the cost of the upgrade is 
probably an issue.
 
regards,
 
Rick

Hmmm I must have stunned everyone.   I'm sure I remember seeing this issue.  I 
have not had any luck finding this in Citrix knowledgebase yet or Thin Archives.

Does anyone remember the maximum number of Published apps that can be handled 
by a MF1.8 Farm.  We have a farm that is running well over 100 apps now (I 
don't have the exact count) and suddenly we have applications that are 
completely vanishing from the Published App manager. I seem to recall an issue 
with this and the number of applications, but cannot find it in the archives or 
what the solution is.
