The other thing to make sure is all your apps are published with the same
settings.  Such as sound on for some and sound off for others will cause a
new session to be launched rather then share with existing session.

I believe setting your seamless flags to a certain value can also affect
your session sharing.  I had mine set to fix some issues with my Borland
applications but it basically disabled my session sharing.

 

I have seen the clipboard issue as well but it has not been on a per user
basis, it is anybody on the particular server and I have found that on the
affected server I couldn't even run the clipboard.  Rebooting the server
fixed the problem.

Thank you! I'll check into workspace control but I thought it was already
enabled.

I think this going off track here- the point is that session sharing is the
default behavior so your sessions generally should execute on the same
server as the initial session. However, if they don't, then clipboard
redirection, if enabled, does work across ICA sessions on different servers.

 

As Joe pointed out, WI and workspace control would help because it has the
option to specifically reconnect to the existing sessions and is very
reliable. However, if this is not available or does not work properly, then
consider timing out the user sessions overnight so each morning they start a
new fresh set of sessions, presumably on the same server

Hmm I must be missing something here. That is what I do now. I publish an
App on both servers. I then just drop the user into the corresponding group
to provide access.

Why not publish both apps to both servers.

 

If it's a problem with reconnecting to a existing session,  WI and workspace
control will help.  Otherwise have the users logoff at the end of the day.

But for those users they will only have access to one server. I can't do
that as often one server can be down or over loaded.

That came out wrong I guess.  What I mean is create your own load balancing
using Group Policy.  Make a copy of the published app and only publish it to
one server and put those users who frequently recconect into a group and add
them to that one server.  (it would be nice to be able to do this via Citrix
Policies)

When a user is disconnected and the next day they logon sometimes they are
load bala nced to the wrong server. For example someone wants to copy and
paste but can't because the apps are running on different servers. Is there
anyway to always force the apps to be run on the same server?
