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.
