Everyone has said printing ... profiles are much getting better but still
easily broken. I do miss creating profiles on Winframe though.
The main problems for a (part time admin) that I see are :
The extras aren't quite "there" ... there is always something missing....
Things that just lack that bit of functionality that would make it a no
brainer to buy.
Over priced 3rd party server based computing software ......
Daft licensing models .Don't get me started on the SQL Datastore licensing
with Citrix......and I would love to meet the person who devised the TS Cal.
Citrix being a tad expensive for small to medium sized companies.
(Not just a TS issue) Folder redirection support in Active Directory is
lousy. Yes you can script it or create your own adms... but why it's 1/2
cocked in AD still is beyond me.

Finding others to talk to who have purchased Nfuse Elite (or MSAM) and use
it ........
Trying to convince people to implement an Oracle Datastore

Brian,
Here is my Citrix pain in the A$$ list:
1. Printing. Has gotten better with W2k and XP.
2. Policies and profiles.
3. Application integration.
4. AV.
5. Licensing and license activation. Better with XP.
Maybe we can have a top ten list. ;)
Mike

Hello All,
Since it's Friday I thought I'd ask something that I've been wondering for a
long time.
I'm a consultant and I focus 100% on Citrix and server-based computing.
While I work with a lot of different IT departments, I've never actually had
to run my own Citrix farm day after day. (Which means I'm either totally
lucky or a total sham!)
Anyway, as Citrix administrators, what's the one thing that's the biggest
pain in the butt in running your Citrix farms? Printing? AV? Security
Patches? Profiles?
Hmm. maybe I should say "other than the users, what's the biggest pain?"
:-)
Just curious,
Brian
