Hi James

On your Web Interface Server in AMC – Right click the XenApp webpage – Authentication Methods – Properties – Domain Restrictions – Add

First great article, second a quick question.

How are you getting the xenapp webinterface not to ask for the domain name where it is autopopulated? We are currently having that problem with deployment, and really haven’t had alot of great sucess with it…

Thanks,

James Briggs

Comment on Internet Explorer 8 on Terminal Server by Kirk M. Schafer

Note to posters: I think the article is asking how IE8 is on Terminal Services; if you’re not using that, a general comment on stability may not be as helpful.

In my case I have experience with an nComputing platform (essentially TS) and find that performance in IE is ridiculously inefficient. Flicker, lag, and memory use are all undesirably noted–so much so that users (on a dual-core machine normally running at 2% CPU) tend to keep clicking IE’s icon because they think it’s not starting. There is a registry setting that fixes flicker (Force Offscreen Composition) but this is inconsistently applied, and memory use–just by IE–is nearly 50% of the total consumed. While there are a number of documents to tweak IE (e.g., on this site, such as “Why Internet Explorer Will Kill Your Memory”), I will probably be forced to install Firefox and silently replace the IE link to start that instead.

I think Leon and Michaels problem will be they either didn’t do step 3 or they are mounting the wrong usb device.

Hi Michael,

The current ISO from Citrix (last time I checked) was the XenServer 5.5 version and this installs fine to USB. What I did see when I updated my XenServer 5.5 USB drive with Update 2 via XenCenter the XenServer goes into a boot loop. I havn’t had time to solve this issuse yet, will post a seperate post when this is fixed. Anyone else successfully updated XS5.5 USB with Update 2 ?

I’m also getting the same error as Leon whilst trying to chroot. (trying to install Xenserver 5.5 update 2 onto my USB drive)

I’m sure the commands aren’t getting mistyped as I’ve tried this 4-5 times …

Also another step of mkdir /tmp/sda/sys/ is needed for it to copy files to the drive correctly …
