Issues Resolved in this Hotfix

1. Events corresponding to event sources were showing up with no data in them. This problem occurred with the Citrix MetaFrame Management Pack for MOM development process. MOM is Microsoft Operations Manager 2000, which delivers enterprise-class operations management by providing comprehensive event management, proactive monitoring and alerting, reporting, and trend analysis. MOM health pack functionality relies on these events to be generated appropriately.

MetaFrame components were not registered correctly in the event log-related keys in the registry.

Installation of this hotfix causes an executable file to run that updates the registry entries for the MetaFrame components that were not registered properly. After installation of the hotfix, the event sources appear in the event log with the appropriate data.

2. Sessions that were in a down state were not displayed as such in Citrix Management Console. Instead, the console displayed these sessions as disconnected or do not display any data at all. Other tools displayed the down sessions correctly.

This hotfix causes all the tools to display the sessions in a down state correctly.

3. Upgrading from MetaFrame XP 1.0 to MetaFrame XP 1.0 with Feature Release 2 left two copies of the ImaRPCclient.dll on the server, with the older version the one being used. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events were not being generated by this dll.

This hotfix deletes the older .dll so that the newer one is used and events are generated correctly.

4. Large MetaFrame XP Feature Release 2/Service Pack 2 server farms sometimes experienced data store contention problems when simultaneously adding or upgrading multiple servers to the farm. Similar problems sometimes occurred when using the Mlicense.exe utility to add multiple licenses or when manually adding multiple licenses to these large farms.

When a new server was added to the farm and a dual CPU server was being used for the data store, the CPU usage on the data store server sometimes went to 100% for periods of time up to 30 minutes. Problems with installation integrity and Citrix Management Console connectivity were sometimes experienced during this time.

Because of the changes made in this hotfix, fewer read requests will be sent to the data store, resulting in improved data store/database performance. These changes will decrease installation and license addition times.
