Yep, both Mem and CPU Optimisation were on. After the disaters of R01 you
think I would have learnt my lesson about leaving Mem Optimisation turned
on, but I guess I have a lot of faith that they have actually fixed this.
The machine was getting regular reboots, so I doubt that was a factor, and
there would have been no printing occuring between the install of R03 and
the previous reboot.

So I guess you could put down to either Mem Optimisation or contention with
a post R02 hotfix.

Cheers.

That’s a good follow up, Joe and I have seen this type of thing before,
where running services and features don’t get patched quite right in
explicably….

Did you have CPU and Memory Optimizations turn on on the machine you
applied R03?  Did you apply R03 after a reboot or a machine that has been
running for a while?  Did you stop/kill all of the Citrix services
(including citrix printing service)?

Hi All,

Citrix weren't much help today. They spent hours trying to repro my
environment and prove me wrong rather than giving me the assistance I
required.

I ended up making the decission to uninstalling R03, but it broke the PS
install. So I was left with no choice but to forceably uninstall PS4 using
the
CTX_MF_FORCE_SUBSYSTEM_UNINSTALL MSI property.

I re-installed PS4 and tested without adding any hotfixes or rollup packs.
Everything worked.

I installed R03, and everything still works.

So clearly R03 did break something when installed. Pehaps installing it
over one of the post R02 hotfixes caused this. But then this stuff has
always been quite fickle in the past, so it does not surprise me that it
continues to be a problem.

Yes, I would still proceed with R03 deployments. But I will use more
caution in the future.

Cheers.

I don't know, but it looks that way. Got a call logged, and I guess I'll
have to do a CDF trace in the morning.

You have got to be kidding me? Client printers - AGAIN?

  Hi All,

  I don't want to scare you off, but we just installed R03 for a POC we are
  doing, as it resolved some Smart Card Smoothroaming issues we were
  having.
  But in turn it seems to have broken client auto-created printers. It
  still
  works through RDP!

  Could just be this environment, but I thought I'd let you know.

  Cheers.
