We are experiencing a strange problem, a couple of the servers in the farm will not allow some users to connect to any of the published applications or published desktop on them. After they log in and try to kickoff any application or desktop, dialog boxes display stating "Preparing to connect", "Connection in progress", "Connection established...Negotiating capabilities", then nothing happens. I've check the event logs in the servers experiencing the problem, and do not see any information related to the issue. It only seems to be happening to certain remote users workstations. It does not seem to matter if the remote workstation is Windows 2000 or XP (up to date with Windows critical updates). Fortunately I have one server in the farm that allows those users to connect so, when they log in and open a published app/desktop, they are always directed to that particular server. Has anyone seen this problem before? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cathy
