Paul, Do you see the MSN messenger show up in the systray of the client system launching the app? The MSN IM client is typicaly setup to autolaunch by default, and it often decides to run when outlook starts up as a pub app, it's hard to notice at the client end that that little utility is keeping your ICA session open after closing down outlook. Check the active process still running in a session where you've closed out outlook already, look for "Msmsgs.exe".

You need to make sure there is nothing in those fields. One is in the users config in User manager for domains, the other is in the citrix connection configuration advanced tab. Next I would make sure the app is published seamlessly.

However, I'm unable to exit the session by choosing File - Exit from the Outlook menu. Once I do that it closes Outlook but returns me to the default blue Desktop background. The session is still showing as active in CMC. If I disconnect (click X on the CIA session box), and then reconnect it returns me to the blue desktop background. I've tried using Launchit to launch Outlook, but the problem remains. Any ideas?
