I have to agree with Joe here.

 

Also, I'm not sure in the example that Andrew has provided, but making
MFCOM queries may require DCOM permissions and/or Custom Admin
permissions in the Farm to view certain properties, so it becomes a pain
to implement for all users. Much simpler to set variables or query a
registry key. Both of which can be easily pushed out globally by custom
ADM templates, startup scripts, psexec scripts, etc.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

But at least you'll know what you own...

I suppose a potential issue there is you'd have to get other teams to
brand their servers as well - so you'd know you're own and know what
wasn't your, but you'd not know what your wasn't own was.

You could always brand the server using an environment variable.

Subject: [THIN] Query Farm Name in User context

 

Hi 
We are using Citrix PS 4 and XA 4.5 and want to use our logon script to
determine which Farm the user is on.  We also need to be able to
determine if we are on one of the other Citrix farms that we don't
manage.

What I am wondering is how can we determine the farm name with the logon
scripts (visual basic 6) we use that the Users run so it has to be able
to work in user context.

Anyone got some code as an example?  Or we I can look. 

Thank you all again.
