- This fix introduces a feature enhancement to the CHFARM utility (CHFARM.exe). At present, the utility is implemented as a GUI application requiring multiple prompts. This enhancement allows you to automate the process of changing farms from a command line.
Overview of command line parameters:
CHFARM /joinfarm /ldsc:servername /user:[domain]\user name /pwd:password [/zone:zonename] [/quiet] [/verbose]
CHFARM /joinfarm /ddsc:directdatastore /odbcuser:user name /odbcpwd:password /dsnfile:pathplusname [/zone:zonename] [/quiet] [/verbose]
/verbose - sends extra debug information to a DOS window; an alternative to this is the redirect the output to a file (CHFARM parms >mylog.txt).
/quiet - suppresses are you sure messages
/ldsc - the name of the server whose farm you want to join indirectly
/user - user name with optional domain [domain/]user name
/pwd - password for the [domain/]user name
/zone - zone name
/ddsc - direct database store (for example SQL Server)
/odbcuser - user name for the ODBC database
/odbcpwd - password for the ODBC user
/dsnfile - path and name of the file you want to use as the .dsn file template; for example: /dsnfile:c:\mydir\MF20.dsn. The DSN file can be obtained from the first server to join the farm. By default, the template is located at C:\Program Files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\MF20.dsn. If the path to your dsn file contains spaces, use quotes ("); for example:
/dsnfile:"C:\my setup files\Citrix\my stuff\mf21.dsn"
When you use the utility from the GUI and fill in all GUI prompts for Create or Join Farm, a batch file is created to automate the process of joining new servers to a farm. The batch file, JOINFARM.BAT, is located in the same folder as the utility. Modify the batch file according to the comments in the file that instruct you to fill in the password and, in some cases, the /dsnfile location.
Typical usage example:
- Run CHFARM to create the first server in the farm.
Note: This step is optional. On another server you want to join to the farm, run CHFARM, without command line parameters, to manually join the server to the farm.
- Copy the JOINFARM.BAT file from the first or second server to a floppy disk at A:\NEWFARM.BAT. Modify A:\NEWFARM.BAT by filling in password and dsnfile information (if present) as instructed by the comments in the NEWFARM.BAT file.
- (This step is not needed if you choose "Connect to a data store set up locally on another computer" in Step A or B.)
Copy C:\Program Files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\MF20.dsn from the first or second server to the floppy disk at A:\thefarm.dsn.
- Edit A:\NEWFARM.BAT to point to your .dsn file and to contain the correct password; for example:
CHFARM /joinfarm /ddsc:SQL Server /odbcuser:sa /odbcpwd:pw /dsnfile:a:\thefarm.dsn
- Place the floppy disk you created in Steps C and D in the floppy disk drive of a server you want to join to the farm.
- At a command line, switch to drive A, then type NEWFARM and press Enter. A message appears stating the action completed successfully.
- Repeat Steps F and G on all servers you want to join to the farm.
Other Notes:
- There is no command line option for Create Farm; only Join Farm is supported.
- "Use the global farm settings for the License Server" is assumed.
- Parameters with spaces in them must be enclosed using quotes (").
- Do not use the C:\Program Files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\mf20.dsn as the source location of the DSN file because it is also the destination.
- Note the password and DSN fields in the JOINFARM.BAT file are cleared after successfully running CHFARM.
- If any errors are detected while running with command-line parameters, a pop-up dialog box appears. You must clear the dialog box to continue just as with the GUI version.
- Do not run CHFARM on more than 10 servers at the same time to avoid overloading the data store.
- Output from scripted CHFARM can be directed to a file by using the DOS ">1.txt" (to overwrite any existing file) or ">>1.txt" (to append to any existing file; for example: “A:\newfarm >1.txt”.
- Always rename the JOINFARM.BAT file. Otherwise it is updated while running, possibly confusing the batch file interpreter. In our example, we renamed to NEWFARM.BAT.
- If the IMA Service is slow in stopping (due to a very large farm, WAN, slow database, and so on) and times out, add a Dword entry "StopServiceWait" to the registry under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\\IMA\RUNTIME and set it to the maximum number of seconds to wait for the service to stop. If no entry is present, the wait defaults to 900 seconds.
Sample contents of JOINFARM.BAT:
CHFARM /quiet /joinfarm /ddsc:SQL Server /zone:EMEA /odbcuser:sa /odbcpwd:password /dsnfile:"C:\Program Files\Citrix\my stuff\mf21.dsn"

- If the language of the operating system and/or the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes"setting is different between server and client, Java published applications display the time configured for the server.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#109706]
- It is possible to add the same printer driver to the driver compatibility list more than once from separate Presentation Server Consoles. This occurs because no mechanism is in place to prevent duplicate registration of the same driver.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#113063]
- This feature enhancement provides a new seamless registry flag to configure the server seamless engine to accept the client work area information (size of the desktop excluding the taskbar) but not other client metrics, such as desktop themes and font information.
This flag is useful in scenarios where it is necessary to disable the use of client-side metrics in seamless sessions but to retain the client work area. Examples of such scenarios include certain custom applications that overlap the client taskbar when maximized.
To enable this enhancement, you must set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI
Name: SeamlessFlags
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x80000
[From PSE400R01W2K3059][#113283]
- On occasion, printer and drive mapping policies are not applied. This occurs when users log on to Novell servers in environments that are not using NDS as part of the farm setup. For example, the NDS preferred tree is not set in the farm settings of the Presentation Server Console. When such users log on, Presentation Server treats them as NDS users and tries to set the printer and drive mapping policies based on their NDS user credentials, which fails.
With this fix, NDS users are treated as Windows users in environments that are not using NDS as part of the farm setup.
[From PSE400R01W2K3026][#114626]
- Users cannot create folders on mapped client drives in an ICA session using the xcopy or mkdir commands from a command line.
[From PSE400R01W2K3051][#114983]
- The following message might appear in the Event Log:
Source: CTXCPUUtilMgmt
Category: (1)
Event-ID: 1538
Type: Warning
Description:
ProcessManager: Process object for PID #### could not be created.
Windows-Systemevent: 0x5
After applying this fix, the warning is written to the Event Log only if the system does not recover from the transient condition.
[From PSE400R01W2K3023][#115188]
- If multiple, different driver compatibility lists are defined and opened on different instances of the Presentation Server Console, the lists get combined.
With this fix, only the most recently defined list is honored.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#115357]
- If the IMA Service fails to start, the Event Log does not concisely indicate
the reason for the startup failure. This occurs when the service encounters an ODBC error during ODBC initialization.
This fix introduces an Event Log message that writes ODBC error state
and text to the Event Log.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#115579]
- In the Management Console, when you modify the properties of a published application and remove the contents of either the Command Line or Working Directory text boxes or both, the application might get corrupted in the data store.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#115663]
- Large icons might not fully display in Microsoft Office applications
when connecting from Wyse thin client terminals or older versions of the client.
[From PSE400R01W2K3004][#115708]
- On Clients for Linux, the Caps Lock state is not maintained properly after you press the Caps Lock key, then any key, and then release the Caps Lock key.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#115747]
- On occasion, you cannot configure a published application count metric. This occurs when multiple published applications by the same names exist in multiple folders.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#116582]
- On occasion, account authority objects are destroyed after navigating account
folders in custom applications utilizing the MPSSDK.
[From PSE400R01W2K3005][#116614]
- On occasion, servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen. This occurs immediately after submitting user credentials when reconnecting to a disconnected session.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#116806]
- On occasion, while users are in the process of logging on, their sessions become unresponsive, displaying a blue screen background only. While existing sessions are not affected, no additional sessions can be launched until the server is restarted. This occurs when there is a transient connection failure during the logon process that results in a call time-out.
[From PSE400R01W2K3051][#116869]
- The "DISABLE FULL WINDOW DRAG" registry setting [0xc00 (0x800+0x400)] for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI\SeamlessFlags does not work as expected. As a result, users cannot see the contents of windows they are moving with the mouse.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#116981]
- On occasion, copying from a client application and then pasting to a server application using the Client for UNIX fails. All subsequent clipboard operations for that users session fails until the session is restarted. To resolve the issue in its entirety, you must also deploy the latest Client for UNIX.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#117470]
- Using MPSSDK functions to retrieve a parent folder's distinguished name fails.
[From PSE400R01W2K3005][#117573]
- With SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration enabled, Servers might experience periodic fatal errors, displaying a blue screen with stop code 0x0000008E.

- This fix introduces improvements to support certain legacy applications when accessing mapped client drives.
[From PSE400R01W2K3051][#117720]
- On occasion, Terminal Services fails to start when the server is starting. The issue is caused by a licensing initialization related timing issue.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#118033]
- Users cannot utilize the MPSSDK to enumerate applications for domain local groups.
[From PSE400R01W2K3005][#118038]
- MPSSDK functions report Active Directory universal groups as global groups.
[From PSE400R01W2K3005][#118039]
- The IMA Service stops working during times of heavy utilization.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#118201]
- On occasion, you cannot add or edit a printer driver mapping in the Management Console. This occurs when the Driver Mapping List contains one or more corrupt entries that causes the console to loop through the drivers multiple times until it runs out of memory.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#118400]
- Adding or removing package groups to or from Installation Manager might fail and generate the following error message:
"Failed to modify package group."
This occurs when the package group cannot be read from the data store.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#118612]
- SmoothRoaming fails to reconnect users to their applications. This occurs if users are connected to multiple applications and close the initial application launched.
[From PSE400R01W2K3015][#119130]
- When configured to use the Virtual IP feature for loopback addresses, Internet Explorer might not properly resolve and find Web pages. This fix introduces support for a registry key to resolve the issue. To enable the fix, you must set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\VIP
Name: DisableUDPLoopback
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x1
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119205]
- Using the Citrix Connection Configuration tool to view the settings for the RDP listener overwrites the End a disconnected session setting even if you do not modify the setting.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119246]
- Users cannot connect to servers and the following error message appears:
"The system has reached its license logon limit."
This occurs because licenses consumed at logon are not released at logoff time.
[From PSE400R01W2K3026][#119351, #126249]
- In large farm environments, refreshing any of the server or Installation
Manager nodes might cause the Presentation Server Console to become unresponsive.
This fix corrects the issue by limiting the refresh functionality to only
the information currently displayed to the administrator. For example, if
you select and refresh a server node, only the data about the packages installed
on that server is refreshed. The refresh functionality of the following
nodes is modified:
- All package nodes
- All package group nodes
- All server nodes.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119623]
- The Job Properties dialog box lacks Refresh functionality, such as a Refresh button. The only way to refresh the results is to close the Job Properties dialog box and then refresh the entire Installation
Manager data cache.
This fix adds a Refresh button to the Job Results tab of the
Job Properties dialog box. This allows you to refresh the information
in the server/package status table, events table, and the event details text
box. The fix also ensures that anything that is selected before the refresh
remains selected when the refresh is complete.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119626]]
- When attempting to unlock a smart card-authenticated session locked by a screen saver, you are prompted for a password rather than a PIN.
[From PSE400R01W2K3051][#119748]
- Load evaluators created with MFCOM based applications or scripts may prevent rules from being initialized.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119836]
- In published instances of the Shadow taskbar, the taskbar Autohide function does not work. The following error message appears instead:
"There is already an auto hidden window on this edge. Only one auto hidden window is allowed on each edge."
This fix removes the Autohide menu option from the taskbar if the function is unavailable.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#119941]
- On occasion, updating printer and driver information from the server node of the Management Console does not work properly if the selected server node is not the local node. This occurs when you add or delete a printer or printer driver on a remote server without refreshing the printer/printer driver information view from the console on that server.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#120136]
- When accessing URLs of the type, pns://, rtsp://, or rtspu:// using Internet Explorer in a client session, the server's CPU utilization might reach 100 percent.
This fix adds a detection mechanism to launch the proper media player associated with those URL types.
[From PSE400R01W2K3016][#120316]
- MFCOM applications take a long time to enumerate users from the MetaFrameApplication.Sessions property. This occurs when a large number of sessions are associated with a particular application. The program needs to check the permissions on all sessions to see if the user is allowed to view those sessions. This fix introduces a modified algorithm to improve the performance of permission checking.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#120484]
- MPSSDK applications report local users on computers running Presentation Server as domain users. This occurs because the MPSSDK does not differentiate between domain and local users.
[From PSE400R01W2K3005][#120777]
- This feature enhancement introduces support for session sharing on fully loaded servers. Without this fix, session sharing does not work on fully loaded servers. Instead and as designed, users are load balanced to less busy servers. To enable this feature enhancement, you must set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI\
Name: SeamlessFlags
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x100
[From PSE400R01W2K3051][#120874]
- Windows 2003 supports using a workstation's regional and keyboard settings, such as English (Australian) or French (Canadian) within a Terminal Services session. This is the server-side component of a feature enhancement that extends support for this functionality to Presentation Server. To get the feature enhancement in its entirety, you must also deploy Hotfix Client 9.100 to users or its replacement as specified in See Knowledge Center article CTX110425.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#120899]
- When adding a new server to the farm, the Presentation Server Console does not display the server under Installation Manager > Packages > [Package group name] > Install package group until you close and reopen the console.
The issue does not occur with individual packages but only with package groups.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#120935]
- Installation Manager might fail to honor environment variables specified in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\appcloning\agent\installer\symbols.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#120974]
- When refreshing an application set in smart card seamless sessions, the smart card pin prompt appears within a 640x480 window whereas all other interaction is seamless.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121027]
- Servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen. This occurs during times of high activity resulting from printing to mapped ports and/or file copying to mapped client drives.
[From PSE400R01W2K3051, PSE400W2K3R02][#121051, #121109]
- After installing Service Pack 1, buttons for shadowed sessions do not appear on the Shadow taskbar if you run the taskbar as a published application.
[From PSE400R01W2K3049][#121147]
- This is a usability improvement to the CHFARM (chfarm.exe) utility. On the Create a New Data Source to SQL Server screen, it is possible to select an incorrect database or, alternatively, to leave the Change the Default Database option cleared. In either case, selection of an invalid database on this screen is not detected until you reach the Confirm Server Farm screen, at which time the selection of an invalid database prevents the server from joining the farm.
With this fix, upon leaving the Create a New Data Source to SQL Server screen, the presence and accessibility of the selected database as a valid IMA data store is validated. If the validation fails, an error message is displayed until a valid database is selected.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121156]
- Remapping LPT ports in ICA sessions to client COM ports might fail. The following error messages appear instead: "System error 67 has occurred" and "The network name cannot be found." This occurs because the code is not checking for "\\client\" as a valid name when mapping LPT ports.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121743]
- Installing applications into an application isolation environment might fail and the following error message appears when Setup initializes:
"Error 1719: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if Windows is not correctly installed."
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121944]
- In seamless connections, double-byte characters might display incorrectly. This occurs when the server does not have the same fonts available as the ones being used by the client workstation. In that case, the Seamless Engine uses other installed server fonts, and double-byte characters are displayed incorrectly if the substitution fonts do not support double-byte characters.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121975]
- The IMA Service might return an error message when adding printers to the compatibility list:
"Failed to set compatibility list. General failure. Error Code c0130012/c0138001."
This occurs because Presentation Server examines distinguished (mapped) names rather than driver names and fails to add new driver entries to the data store if those new entries match existing distinguished names.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#121977]
- A console RDP session (mstsc.exe /console) allocates a license for the duration of the session and does not release the license when the session terminates.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122270]
- The installation process of some applications from a CD in an application isolation environment may abort with a message stating "Error 1304".
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122343]
- In Visio 2003, the Smooth drawing and Higher quality shape display options under Tools > Options > View > Display Options are grayed out and their state cannot be changed. This occurs because Presentation Server disables menu animations in ICA sessions. With menu animations disabled, Visio 2003 disables these two display options.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122489]
- The menu option Show Citrix Memory Optimizations appears when you right-click files on a computer running Presentation Server, even if that option is not available.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122547]
- If the session limit is set to 1 and "Reconnect from this client only" is set in the listener, reconnecting to disconnected sessions might not work correctly; a new session might be created instead, resulting in one disconnected and one active session.

- Servers might experience apparently random fatal errors. The issue is caused by Vdtw30.dll when using the ThinWire1 interface.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122705]
- Running chgcdm /default does not reset the existing client drive mappings. After running the command, each already mapped client drive is mapped again to an additional drive letter. This fix ensures that the existing mapping is removed before a new mapping is created.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122861]
- Changes made to the universal printer driver properties from within Microsoft Excel do not take effect the first time you click OK. The change only takes effect after it is made a second time.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122948]
- ICA sessions remain in an active state even after closing all seamless published applications if the language bar of IME 2002 or IME 2003 is running within the session.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#122962]
- When choosing a client's default printer while creating a new printer policy, clicking OK does not save the client's default printer. Instead, it is necessary to click Apply and then OK to save the printer.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#123008]
- An application running in application isolation environment that attempts to connect to a remote server using DCOM may have the connection fail with the error "CLSID not found error (0x80040154)".
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#123213]
- Autocreated printers cannot be shared. This occurs because to share a printer, the Server service must access the printer. The Server service runs under the local SYSTEM account, which is not added to the printer's access control list.
With this fix, the local SYSTEM account is added to the printer's access control list so that autocreated printers can be shared.

- Client to server content redirection might fail if the client file path passed to the server uses a character set that is different from the server's code page. This occurs because the server-side component always uses the system-wide code page to convert the application data requested by the client.
With this fix, the server-side component converts the application data using the code page requested by the client.

- This is the server-side component of a fix that addresses autocreated printers not inheriting printer device settings. To resolve the issue in its entirety, you must also deploy Hotfix Client 9.200 or later of the Presentation Server Client. This fix allows you to assign equivalence criteria for specific drivers. If no entry is made, all seven criteria are used to establish equivalency. Printer device settings are inherited if all attributes you specify for a driver match. See Citrix Knowledge Center article CTX108763 for more information.
To do this:
- Install this hotfix and deploy Hotfix Client 9.200 or later.
- On the server, open the WTSUPRN.inf file using a text editor.
- Add a [DriverEquivalenceFields] section, and specify the driver name (left side) and the attributes (right side) to compare when autocreating printers. For example:
"HP Color LaserJet *PCL*" = Name,DevModeSize,WinVer,Env,DriverFile,Version,Date
Notes:
- To accommodate blank spaces in driver names, enclose the names in quotes (")
- Use an asterisk (*) for wild card matches
- {Name,DevModeSize,WinVer,Env,DriverFile,Version,Date} is the recognized set of attributes; choose any subset for comparison

- With load balancing enabled, certain servers receive significantly more sessions than others, eventually overloading those servers. This occurs when CPU or memory performance counter queries produce an error. The error results in MetaFrame reporting zero load and taking all new loadbalanced connections. This fix resolves the issue by setting the server-load to 10000 (full) for servers that produce performance counter errors when the query is initialized.

- For certain printer drivers, changes made to printer properties or advanced printer settings within a session do not persist between sessions.
This is the server-side component of an enhancement that allows you to modify the client-side appsrv.ini file to set the client to always use the printer settings from the actual printer rather than the retained settings in the properties store. This setting also forces the client to attempt to write settings modified within a client session to the client printer if the drivers are determined to be equivalent.
To get the full benefit of this enhancement, you must also deploy Hotfix Client 9.200 or later of the Presentation Server Client and add the following line to the [WFClient] section of the client-side appsrv.ini file:

This occurs because TSCAL licenses for non-Win32 clients are replicated to all servers in the farm, even if only a limited number of servers in the farm are dedicated to accepting non-Win32 client connections.
This fix allows you to suppress unnecessary replication of licenses for non-Win32 clients to all servers in the farm. To do this, you must set the following registry key on all servers you do not want to replicate this information:

- Incoming connections to a load balanced farm fail to fully connect. This occurs when a new server comes online during peak logon periods. At that time, the load balancer is sending all incoming connections to the new server, essentially overwhelming and preventing it from fully updating its server load.
With this Load Throttling fix, logons are given a logarithmic load bias during connection time to limit the number of simultaneous logon requests. This biasing level is used in conjunction with the server's "real" load to route connections to the least-loaded server. This allows time for servers to gradually increment the number of connections in environments where the server load is well below the farm average load, which is often the case when you restart a server.
Note: To resolve the issue in its entirety, you must install this hotfix on both the zone master and all member servers of the farm.
How to Use Load Throttling
Load Throttling uses Intelligent Load Biasing (ILB). ILB works by giving logons a higher load bias. The default ILB algorithm assigns a bias of ½ the remaining load capacity. Essentially, the default algorithm is Current Resolution Load += [(Max Load – Current Resolution Load) / 2]. The ILB adjusts itself back down after pending logons are complete.
For example:
INCOMING LOGONS |
RESOLUTION LOAD |
1 |
5000 |
2 |
7500 |
3 |
8750 |
To turn off ILB, set the registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\LMS\UseILB to zero and restart the server.
Note: Maximum load = 10000.

- This feature enhancement extends SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration to
support the following media types. This is the server component of the feature enhancement. To get the full feature enhancement, you must also install Hotfix Client 9.150. On computers running Windows 2000 Server and pre-Windows XP client devices, you must also install DirectX 9.0c.
Note: There is a difference between media types and file formats (file
extensions). File formats (.avi, .mpg) can encapsulate multiple
media types (DIVX Video, MPEG-1 Video). A single .avi file, for
example, can contain both a DIVX Video stream, and an AC3 Digital Audio Stream,
and would require both the DIVX and AC3 DirectShow codecs for proper playback.

- When enabling the Memory Optimization feature on a server running Presentation Server 4.0, the features mechanism to log information about the changes in the files that it rebases might be incorrectly calculated. This might result in application processes exiting unexpectedly or problems when installing applications in an application isolation environment.
With this fix, any incorrectly logged optimization information that is already present is removed. The correct information is written starting with the next scheduled rebasing and thereafter.

- When running the CHFARM UTILITY or during the process of adding a server to a farm, the IMA data key is set incorrectly. This, in effect, adds a second data collector to the zone. The actual data collector cannot communicate with the other server, which might cause this server to become unresponsive and refuse connections. This change prevents the IMA Service from starting when the IMA data key does not match the one contained in the data store. This fix applies only to servers running with a direct connection to a SQL or Oracle database.
[From PSE400W2K3R02][#129403]
- When a user launches multiple sessions to one server, the user's default printer in the first session might be lost and cannot be reset. This fix introduces support for a registry setting that adds users' names to the ACL of printers created in their sessions and allows users to access printers from any of those sessions on the same server.
To enable this fix, you must set the following registry key:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Print
Name: DefaultPrnFlags
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x20000000

- The Load Throttling multiplier cannot be modified. With this fix, you can successfully modify the multiplier.
To tweak the ILB algorithm, adjust the value of: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\LMS\ILBMultiplier and restart the server. By default, the value is set to 2. By increasing the value, you can allow more concurrent logons. Essentially, the algorithm is changed. For example: If you change the value to 4, the ILB algorithm is Current Resolution Load += [(Max Load Current Resolution Load) / 4].

- After applying Hotfix Rollup Pack 1 on computers running Windows Server 2003, users might no longer be able to launch published applications. This happens if the "Access computer from the network" policy is disabled and does not affect computers running Windows 2000 Server. This fix introduces an option to enable access to published applications by enabling either the "Access computer from the network" or the "Allow logon locally" policies. It adds support for a new registry value "UseNetworkLogon" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA to specify which of the two policies is required for users to access published applications:
If the registry value "UseNetworkLogon" is present and the value is 1, "Access this computer from the network" must be enabled for users to launch published applications. All other values are interpreted as zero, and "Log On Locally" must be enabled to launch published applications. If the registry value "UseNetworkLogon" is absent, by default "Log On Locally" must be enabled.
The registry value is static and, if modified, you must restart the IMA Service for the change to take effect.

- With the "Overwrite existing drivers" option selected, replicating or autoreplicating a large number of printer drivers to like platform Servers might produce inconsistent results; that is, not all selected drivers are installed on all servers. The number of drivers installed varies from server to server, and from deployment to deployment. For example, in an autoreplication of 50 drivers to 15 servers, only three to five Servers might receive all 50 drivers, whereas fewer drivers might be installed on the remaining servers. No Event Log entries are produced to indicate the failure.

If the session ID cannot be found, permission to print is denied and the printer goes offline.
