I am not an expert either (but I was able to ask one that works here :)).
The applications that you are serving out to your users on your Citrix server
are NOT running in foreground. The only applications running in foreground on a
terminal server are user interface applications running on the Console (if
any). Every Citrix application no matter what its state is running in the
background all of the time. Hence you want to run as a server, and give
priority to background tasks, at the expense of whatever you might be running
at the Console.

Subject: [THIN] thread quanta and chkroot.cmd thingy
chaps, I have a memory like a seive,
could somone please remind me of what chkroot.cmd's function in life is..
also, for you performance tuning bods out there... I have a question about
the basic performance setting in windows 2k.. I read in the Metaframe tuning
guide by the guy from Citrix that it is recommended that the performance
setting in win2k be set to background processing in order to provide equal
thread quantum for all process priorities, i.e. 20/20/20 or something like
that..
well, I'm no expert but I would disagree with this because why would you
want to give equal priority to threads that have been specifically
programmed to execute in the background??
I think also that a mistake is generally made where people describe users
running on a terminal server as being 'background'... my guess is, that this
is not correct either... just because they cannot be seen, they are still
'foreground' applications in the context of the windows execution
environment. This is a very basic setting and I would like to get it right
for our standard farm server build as I have over 40 to build over the next
few months ??
Any guidance appreciated....
