Citrix has a private fix for the blue screen issue. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jay Moock Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 7:48 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] MPS 3.0 Issues Hello everyone. I recently upgraded my first production MF XPa FR3 ZDC to MPS 3.0 with MPSE300W2K3R01. I've had it running in a test environment for some time and didn't notice any problems with it. I am very pleased with the new version in terms of the performance improvements, but there are a few serious issues that cropped up on our production server that are making me question its stability. First, since upgrading the ZDC, ImaSrv.exe will terminate unexpectedly when someone authenticates from our CSG server (CSG 2.0, WI 3.0) in order to enumerate the published applications. The MPS 3.0 ZDC is first in the list of MetaFrame servers in the WI configuration. The error that is recorded in the App Log is: "Faulting application ImaSrv.exe, version 2.4.27176.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.0, fault address 0x00003847." After the error occurs the IMAService is still running, but no new logons are passed to the server through published applications and direct logons to the server (ICA and RDP) hang after credentials are submitted. Scheduled tasks also do not run. Once the IMAService is stopped and restarted everything is back to normal. For now I have dropped the MPS 3.0 ZDC to the bottom of the list of MetaFrame servers in the WI config. http://support.citrix.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=321814&fromSearchPage =true񎤖 indicates that MPSE300W2K3R02 may resolve my problem, but I tried it and it ended up making things worse: With R02, I experience the blue screen issue described in http://support.citrix.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=62&threadID=59953&start =0&tstart=0, and the shadowing issue described in http://support.citrix.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=62&threadID=59061&tstar t=0. Despite what Citrix says, I can not disable shadow logging on this server because that option is greyed out for me. I also do not wish to reinstall MetaFrame. And even if I could get shadowing to work, there's still the issue of the Random blue screens, so for now I chose the lesser of two evils and downgraded to MPSE300W2K3R01. I'm going to call Citrix to see what they have to say about this, but I also wanted to see if anyone on this list is experiencing these issues, and if so, what have you done to address them?
