The server is acting as both the TS license server and the Citrix license server, everything is working fine except when I try to log on as a non-administrative user. When i do this I get the following popup messages…
“The desktop you are trying to open is currently available only to administrators. Contact your administrator to confirm that the correct settings are in place from your client connection.” and “To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop User group have these permissions. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that has these permissions, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have these permissions, you must be granted these permissions manually.”. My non-administrative user account is a member of a group that is a member of the Remote Desktop User group. I believe that the problem is a related to the Citrix license server because I am able to log on the non-administrative users using an RDP client. Any help is much appreciated!
Nicolas de Toth Not necessary to do that.

When you publish a desktop via citrix, you just have to verify that users are in Remote Desktop Groups. Verify this point. Maybe your group is not OK or user not into.

I was just given a access database to put on our citrix servers. The first access file is basically the form the links back to another access database that has all the data. We need to make this available to 5-15 individuals. How do I go about setting this up so that it works.

The non-administrative users are members of a group that is a member of the Remote Desktop Users group.

This happens on both XP workstations and Win2003 PS 4.0 servers, although it’s more pronounced on the Citrix servers, probably due to overall load on the machine.

According to the PM 4.5 release notes, this was supposedly solved, but we’ve upgraded and there has been no change in behavior. I’ve followed the instructions in the release notes (copied below). Any ideas?? Thanks!

From PM 4.5 Release Notes:

Product: Citrix Password Manager
Current Product Version: 4.5
Previous Product: Password Manager
Previous Product Version: 4.1
Language: English (EN)
Fixed Issues List: 1.0

The following issues have been fixed since the previous release of this product.

%26lt;snip%26gt;

When Password Manager attempts to detect the fields on a Web page, the CPU on the client device spikes for 30 to 60 seconds. The client device is unresponsive during this time. The Web page, generated by a third party application, has 130 forms with input fields in them. This makes ssobho.exe query all of them and spike the CPU.

For this fix to work, do the following:

Shut down the agent.

Open the Password Manager Console.

Edit the user configuration settings to Detect client-side application definitions and allow Password Manager to detect All applications or Only applications that are defined by users in Logon Manager. (Note that all applications is the default for this setting.)
From PM_Agent_4_1_87_1]{#126054

CPU usage sometimes spikes dramatically when the agent processes a Web page with many DIV elements. This occurs when the agent attempts to parse every element on the Web page to determine whether or not the Web page is a logon page.

Tony Goodwin Hi Charles,

This happens to all users Admin and User credentials.

Thanks
Tony Goodwin Hi Sujaynath,

We published notepad.exe successfully.

We are publishing the AD Users and Computers application as an application via the W:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 path. We’ve also tried using the local user profile path for this also with the same result.

Thanks,

Nino
Mathias Rysse I am publishing “mmc.exe c:\windows\system32\dsa.msc” with the working directory “c:\windows\system32″ and that works flawlessly.

I would try to see what happens if a user tries to launch ADUC from the server’s desktop.
Marcos Silva What is your %systemroot% C: or W: ???

Try to publish using this syntax:
mmc.exe dsa.msc, without path and work directory
