I would recommend using the 3.0 SDK exclusively and just use the features that
are supported on your servers. The 3.0 SDK has all features consolidated into
one SDK. 

In my C# application I am using   "private IMetaFrameFarm4 MFfarm;" for my
farm declaration. IMetaFrameFarm4 corresponds to a FR3 farm object. 

When using the MetaFrame Com object you have to set your default security to
"IMPERSONATE" or else you will only be able to get the farm name and not much
more. 

If you know your way around C# take a look at my project at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmfie/
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmfie/> .

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Now I move onto trying to get one of the vb apps to work.

 

I have installed both Citrix Server SDK 2.3 and MF Presentation Server SDK 3.0

(mfreg from 3.0 used to register server)

 

When I run the farminfo.exe from 3.0 it crashes and I get
System.InvalidCastException.  On the line 

farm.Initialize(MetaFrameObjectType.MetaFrameWinFarmObject)  (VB.net)

When i run the farminfo.exe from 2.3 i get the form screen and it seems to
know the name of our farm but nothing else.

I ran both using run as and with my farm admin id.

I have posted this also to the dev forum but no answers.

You don't need mfcom.exe. Just download mfreg.exe and run "mfreg.exe
<SERVERNAME".

I am trying some stuff with the SDK but have got into problems while trying to
get it working from my desktop (XP pro) to our MF servers.

I was using some WSH files and they seemed to be talking to the MF farm ok.
But I could not get my VB to work. 

So I thought I would unregister mfreg  and try it again.  Problem is that it
blew away mfcom.exe and I can't get it back :(

I tried running mfreg servername and also mfreg /regserver.  The last one
tries to create the service but does not but mfcom anywhere.

I ended up trying to copy it from our MF server but that did not seem to work.

Anyone got any ideas?  Is MFREG the only way to get mfcom installed locally? 

Totally lost.  I am also going to post on the developer forum but I don't get
many answers there.
