Afgelopen week is op een Citrix farm Rollup 6 geinstalleerd op een Windows 2003 Citrix 4.0 omgeving. Echter twee Citrix servers hebben problemen gehad met het connecten naar de license server. De servers lieten geen enkele RDP of ICA connectie meer toe.

Vreemde was dat de Citrix License Service wel was gestart en vanaf de Citrix servers een telnet kon worden uitgevoerd vanaf -p 27000

In het Eventlog de volgende Events:

Presentation Server 4.5 Fails to Consume a Start-up License with Event ID 9028

Het KB van Citrix:

While the Management Console allows for the operation to complete, thus giving an impression that the server will function as expected, a startup license will not be allocated to the server. This is by design.

CTX112223 – Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 Administrator’s Guide – page 78

Presentation Server 4.5 requires upgrading Citrix licensing. If you are running the license server that came with Citrix Presentation Server 4.0, you must upgrade to the latest license server, which is included with Citrix Presentation Server 4.5. Your existing license files are compatible with the new license server.

Heb de volgende stappen uitgevoerd om het probleem op te lossen:

- Van de .lic bestanden een backup gemaakt

- De licentie server voorzien van een upgrade (Versie: 11.5 for Windows): http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=1681211&productId=1679389

- Tijdens de installatie wordt de nieuwste versie van Java gevraagd, deze opgehaald via www.java.com

- De upgrade van de Citrix license server laat de licentie bestanden staan, deze hoeven niet opnieuw geimporteerd te worden.

- Op de farm Cettings van Citrix Presentation Server stond de License server verwezen naar SERVERNAAM, deze aangepast naar ip adres en er kan weer juist gecommuniceerd worden.

Within the Citrix webaccess it’s basically not possible to grant access to only one specific group. We can go around this most of the time by using tokens, but there’s also another way of managing.

Through some minor adjustments at the ‘source’ of citrix it can be made possible. Luckily there’s an addon so we don’t have to do everything manually.

Check this site for the addon:

It might happen that ‘Adobe Flash Player’ is working properly under an Administrator account on a Citrix server, however the users are receiving a popup with the notification that Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed together with the popup “Active X” for which the users don’t have any access. See the solution below to fix the bug as an Administrator:

Dealing with Macromedia Flash Player for non admin usersBy default, EVERYONE is denied. Hence the error.

While it is a few months after the last post this is what I found. We are using a PS 4.5 farm with Office 2007 including IEv7 running on Win 2003 Server SP2:-

Change the permissions to “READ” for everyone on the two registry keys below. (Ensure it is replicated to the child objects.)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]

Next time the users login, it works.

Op verzoek van een klant moest er de Citrix portal pagina worden omgezet naar een persoonlijke Citrix bedrijfs portal met logo, wat uitgebreide informatie van het bedrijf voor personeel etc.. client versie report etc..

Ben hier niet echt in thuis en besloten wat te gaan kijken op internet, het volgende gevonden:

Before you install the Hotfix Rollup Pack 3 from Citrix read CTX115626. I came up with the following points:

• Before you install the Hotfix check CTX118771 for known issues while you are installing, This kb also gives you the solutions.
• After the upgrade you install version 11.5 of the License servers. This version is downloadeble from the citrix site with your MyCitrix account. Citrix Web site
• After installing the upgrade you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 Redistributable kit on every citrix server, this package you can download from the Microsoft Web site.
• When you install the Hostix Rollup Pack with a unateended batch script you can get an error with the setup is ready, you van fix this via the /qb- or the /qn switch.

After you have installed the Hotfix Rollup Pack 3.

• When you have installed the Hotfix it is possible that the Access Management Console can’t start anymore, you can fix this with an installation of Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP1 installation.

Before you install the hotfix it’s smart to check the citrix forum:

When Citrix doesn’t map the printers via the portal you have a couple of solution.

I resolved the issue by doing the following steps:

1- Stopping the Spooler service (and it’s dependency)
2- In the registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
I deleted all the Client Printers that were stucked there since the update.
4- Restarted the Spooler (and it’s dependency)

Since this, no more 0x70A error in the Event Log and the Client Printers are correctly created at logon and deleted at logoff.
