Fixes from Replaced Hotfixes

1. When HDX MediaStream for Flash (client-side) is enabled, a Flash content URL received by the server might a) not be resolvable by the client device or b) be resolved to the wrong content server. To resolve this issue:

   • On XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008:
     Load the included HdxFlash-Server.adm template and configure the client-side content fetching base URL rewriting rules as follows, using PERL regular expression syntax:

   To rewrite

   http://www.content.corp.net/yyy.swf to http://corp.net/yyy.swf (or a similar URLs), use a rule such as:

   value name: http://(.*\.)(corp\.net.*)
   value: http://\2

   [From DSCXAGPMx100WX86001][#233134]

2. This enhancement reduces delays observed while editing printing policies and modifying their priorities.

   [From DSCXAGPMx100WX86001][#236934]

3. While creating session printer policies for certain types of printers, the following error message can appear: "An item with the same key has already been added."

   [From DSCXAGPMx100WX86001][#237952]

4. This enhancement is a part of the XenApp Printing Optimization Pack. The Printing Optimization Pack improves the user experience and printing speed by reducing the printer bandwidth required.
