I have R03 on 9 servers (2003 SP2 - although they were SP1 when I first did
it)

I uninstalled all post R02 hotfixes before installing R03 and have no issues

I have Citrix R03 running on 63 Compaq blades with no issues..I have two
disclaimers however...

 

1.      I do not natively print.We use the Tricerat product for printing -
Printer auto creation is turned off...
2.      When I installed R03 I removed post R02 fixes, R02, post R01 fixes,
and R01 so when I installed R03 it had no other fixes installed..

Lol, sounds like your config is similar to mine.  I'll hold off on deploying
that roll up.or maybe I'll deploy to a test server and see what happens.
Sounds like it introduces problems worse than what I already have.

We had a strange issue with R03:

- We are using PS 4 with HFR 2.0.1 (on Win2K3 SP1 Poweredege 1855s)

- Prior to upgrading to R03 we'd noticed that when viewing session processes
from the Servers:Users section of the management console, we would
occasionally see strangeness such as extremely large Process IDs (numbers
that were in the millions or billions!), or random ASCI characters under the
Image field.

- There is supposedly a hotfix for this issue -->
<http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX111753>
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX111753. This hotfix is superseded by
R03, so we installed this on a test server

- After the install, I ran the PS console from the upgraded server, but
noticed that we were now getting NO information at all under the session
processes tab AND (here's the kicker) --> when I attempted to check session
information for any user session, I began receiving email alerts that
servers were going down! 

- It turned out that the IMA service was being turned off for any server
whose session I was checking into

- If I run PS Console from any other server (that hasn't been upgraded with
R03), I continue to get no session information, BUT it doesn't kill the IMA
service when I drill down into a user session

- Needless to say, I removed R03

 

I'm just about to open a call with Citrix on this, so will keep you in the
loop.

I'm considering whether to deploy this rollup.I've been having intermittent
issues w/ occasional server bluescreens.  All the hardware is recent HP
(dl360s) w/ server 2003 patched up current as of Feb '07.  Also, I've had
the IMA service terminate unexpectedly on a few servers recently.power
cycling the server fixed the issue, but I sure would like to stop it
permanently.  I've read in the release notes many of these issues are
addressed in Rollup 03, but then it looks like they should have been
addressed in our current roll up PSE400W2K3R02.0.1

 

I may test this rollup on a few of the servers to see if some of these
issues dissipate.

I'm seeing some servers failing to talk to the Citrix license server after
applying it. Currently I'm removing & rejoining the farm via CHFARM if it
happens & that sorts it. I'm sure this is a known issue, I was just
searching around for some info on it today in fact to see if theres an
easier way around it

Has anyone applied this rollup and if so, are there any caveats we should be
aware of with it?

 

Thanks,
