Hmm, my biggest problems are=20

ADOBE-I hate Adobe...I hate External Windows Handler not found.  Adobe's
support is horrible...worst I've encountered.

Security- setting windows file\folder security tight enough so user's
can't mess stuff up but loose enough to let all apps work.

Printing-printers not auto-creating...hopefully TriCerat can help us out
there

Connecting to Citrix Secure Gateway- seems some ISPs have issues and
other times it's another company's firewall preventing my users from
getting out on 1494.

Profiles-always a nag...better now in XP than 1.8 but still have to do
some cleanup now and then

Group Policy-Seems like I can never find a good .adm file when I need
one. (Sorry Jim)

Lack of Citrix update\patch management

Not a problem:=20
AV- Trend Serverprotect has been great

Hello All,
=20

Since it's Friday I thought I'd ask something that I've been wondering
for a
long time.

=20

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!)

=20

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?

=20

Hmm. maybe I should say "other than the users, what's the biggest pain?"
:-)

=20

Just curious,

Brian
