RIGHT....formal documentation....
:)
Just a suggested, as CTX hotfixes, I understand, may fix one thing, break
something else.
Anyone know of the hotfix rollup that was noted at iForum? The tough thing
to know, is what are the latest hotfixes? This on contains these 7, but not
these 4, etc., etc.

I'd be interested in that. Can you ask them if they've documented that
somewhere as a formal recommdendation? Thanks.

I will have to talk with a Couple Citrix SE's, who just at iForum, restated
not to install a patch, unless a specific item you are experiencing, is
fixed with that patch.
Thanks for the input.

I work for the 2003 Citrix North American partner of the year and all the
Senior Consultants in the Citrix practice had this discussion a few weeks
ago. We all agreed that our position is to fully patch MetaFrame with the
latest Citrix service pack and hotfixes. We don't take this stance with
Microsoft operating systems, however.

I also know, per Citrix, that unless you see an issue, that is noted in a
patch, to not apply the patch. Citrix SE's have made it clear to not apply
hotfixes, just because they are available.

I'm a firm believer in proactive patching. Patches are issued to correct
flaws in the code, so I always prefer to have code that is as bug free as
possible, rather than wait to encounter the problem and find the fix. If you
had had all the Citrix patches applied to your server(s), you wouldn't have
seen the issue or had to deal with the problem at all.

Due to an apparent zone communication issue, I finally called Citrix Tech
support.
That was Thurs. night. I then called them back on Mon. morning.
They suggested, first thing, hotfixes 126, 119 and 082. How does the group
feel about these fixes? Any thoughts at all are appreciated.
