Hi All

I?ve had this one in the kit for a while but I needed to use it recently on a 
client site. Yes, bad 
applications still exist and compatibility flags are still needed to tune them, 
even in Win2k8. 
TSBADAPP is the latest free app from Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy and it is a 
remake of the old 
program called CMPTMAN which I?m sure we have all used at some time in the 
earlier days of 
application tuning.

I?ve got 2 more little apps close to completion ? the best one is TSFILEFIND 
which is a Terminal 
Server version of the Citrix program DOC Finder. I?m up to my eyeballs in 
customer installs at 
the moment but you can expect them soon. In the mean time enjoy TSBADAPP.

As always download it from http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_TSUtils.htm

TSBADAPP is a standalone Windows GUI tool designed to manage Application 
Compatibility
 Flags on Win2K/Win2k3/Win2k8 Terminal Server and Citrix Servers. This is a 
remake of
 a tool called CMPTMAN which was released in the late 90's, which failed to 
work correctly
 in Win2k3 environments and above. 

This utility was written for the purpose of allowing administrators to tune 
'bad' applications
 that run on Win2K/Win2k3/Win2k8 Terminal Server and Citrix Servers. By 
applying specific 
 registry entries to application executables, an application may be configured 
to function
 correctly in a Terminal Server or Citrix environment. TSBADAPP has been 
written as a GUI
 interface to assist administrators in setting the compatibility flags which 
can help tune
 and control an application's performance.

TSBADAPP has been written using the registry values and controls as detailed in 
Microsoft
 Articles Q186628 and Q198060, and Citrix Articles CTX846521 and CTX086028. 
TSBADAPP has
 tooltips to assist the administrator on understanding what each setting does. 
ALL 
 Settings should be applied with caution. Applied correctly, these settings may 
enhance an
 application's performance. Applied incorrectly, these settings may adversely 
effect the 
 Terminal Server performance. 

NOTE: The user must have the Administrator rights to use this tool.

This application has been tested on the following  platforms:

Windows 2008 Server
Windows 2008 Server w/ Citrix XenApp 5.0
Windows 2003 Server SP1
Windows 2003 Server SP1 w/ Citrix PS 4.0
Windows 2003  Server SP1 (Terminal Server Application Mode)
Windows 2000  Server SP4 
Windows 2000  Server SP4 w/ Citrix MF XP
Windows 2000  Server SP4 (Terminal Server Application Mode)
Windows 2000  Server SP4 w/ Citrix MF 1.8

This utility is FREEWARE and was written by Warren Simondson of
 Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy, Australia. www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au

The freeware version is offered AS IS. Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy has made
