According to the Citrix Knowledge base: Document ID: CTX102201

Incorrect MetaFrame Event Viewer Application log information after
applying Microsoft Service Pack
Symptom
MetaFrame Error Events no longer appear with the correct information in
the Event Viewer Application Log.
Cause
When Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 is installed, the registry
entry needed to facilitate logging of MetaFrame Error Events is
overwritten. The following registry key gets overwritten:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\Ter
mservice\Eventmessagefile
Resolution
Before applying Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 on your MetaFrame serve,r
install the hotfix or service pack appropriate for your version of
MetaFrame.
For MetaFrame 1.8 systems, install Citrix' Hotfix M*183W044 to ensure
uninterrupted operation of MetaFrame Error Event logging.
For MetaFrame XP systems, install Citrix' Feature Release 3 to ensure
uninterrupted operation of MetaFrame Error Event logging.
If you already installed Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 on your MetaFrame
server, you can either apply the appropriate hotfix or service pack for
your version of MetaFrame or apply the MFEvents fix utility to your
server. The MFEvents fix utility reapplies the overwritten registry key.
The hotfix or service pack listed above moves the registry key used by
MetaFrame to a new location in the registry reserved for Citrix
products.
Fyi

Subject: [THIN] Win2k SP4 breaks Linux/Samba domain logins
SP4 also appears to break domain logins if you're crazy enough to use
Linux/Samba as a domain controller. Apparently there is a fix, as the
email
below from one of the Samba team shows (below). By the way, if you are
crazy enough to use Linux/Samba as a PDC in a medium-large corporate
environment, I'd be interested to hear how you're going with it!

There is a 'profile acls' parameter in 2.2.8a that should fix the
profile problem with Win2kSP4. Please try that first. WinXP SP1 did
the
same thing as 2kSP4 wrt profiles.

Subject: [THIN] Win2k SP4
Sorry to take this thread off topic since the discussion was getting so
lively. (but I guess the thread is gone anyway) I don't have anything
to
say about the whole open vs. closed source question but here is a
summary of
the issues I've read about/ seen/ heard etc in Windows 2000 Service Pack
4.
The following is a living document that will continue to track Windows
2000
open issues and will outline strategies, and possible or actual
solutions.
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Open issues:
1. IPSEC policies may stop functioning/ get removed.
2. Slow logons from Citrix ICA sessions
3. Slow Logons from RDP sessions
4. Applications will not or are slow to close on logout.
a. (possible apply a script)
5. If installed after the Novel Client, you may need a local
administrator
account to log in and re-add the machine to the domain. 6. usrlogon.cmd
may
stop running 7. Mail relay settings may change, if your server is
sending
mail this setting may have to be reset in the MMC 8. Web Interface
(NFuse)
1.6 (and other versions) sites may have read permissions set. Users need
script execute permissions. 9. Apparently there is an issue related to
Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and the Citrix ctxnotif.dll.
During
the logoff process, the ctxnotif.dll deletes the printers. The process
hangs
(which is probably responsible for the longer logoff times) and only has
time to delete the second printer if at all before the winlogon closes
all
running processes and logs you off. The script at
http://www.tokeshi.com/raturl/autoendtasks may help logoff issues/
speed.
