Description

This article contains information on how to suppress client side network connectivity error messages.

Background

Sometimes, client side error network connectivity error messages are benign. For example, if the user logs on to the workstation and Citrix Receiver tries to connect to the XenApp server before the network of the user has been established or the user loses network connectivity for a few seconds, one of the following messages might be displayed:

"Some applications and desktops are unavailable. Check your network connection."
"The network connection to your application was interrupted. Try to access your application later or contact your help desk."
"Citrix online plug-in could not contact the server. Please check your network connection."

Instructions

Complete the following steps to suppress the network connectivity error messages from the client side:
Caution! Refer to the Disclaimer at the end of this article before using Registry Editor.
