Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix

Caution! This hotfix may require you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved . Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

1. 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 may 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.

2. Under certain environmental conditions the IMAsrv.exe process may consume 100% of the CPU.

   [From MPSE300R05W2K3011][#143150]

3. By design, member servers in a farm request session records from the data collector at logon time to evaluate user or application limitation values. These queries are done even if no user or application limitation policies are in place. In large farm environments, these queries cause a large number of unnecessary records to be sent from the data collector to the member servers. This fix prevents such queries when no user or application limitation policies are in place.

4. This fix addresses a security vulnerability. For more information, refer to the Citrix Security Bulletin CTX111186 at the Citrix Support Web site.
