Citrix seamless popup message - help!

Malt_Vinegar · 21 Dec 2010 at 16:02

Hi guys, I am trying to remember the wording for the popup message that you get when using seamless mode in PS(Xenapp)

Can anyone tell me what the default message says? I am trying to find a way of suppressing the message. I am fairly sure there is a way, but do not have an environment setup to test it, and google is failing me. If i can find the correct wording, or even the first line I will be able to dig out what I need

If anyone can help, it would really get me out of a hole!

If you are changing the connection using the GUI
1) Program Neighbourhood > Right click on the connection > Properties
2) Click the Options Tab > Window Size: <required size instead of seamless>

To do it through the apprv.ini (%appdata%\ICAClient\Appsrv.ini) it is the 'DesiredWinType' field
Seamless: DesiredWinType=8
Full Screen: DesiredWinType=7
% of screen: DesiredWinType=6

I am doing this from a non-windows ICA client, without a lot of the options.

Thats not the actual message, it was very similar though. Managed to get a screenshot from the user I was working with. Its to do with launching of explorer when another app was launched.

I did some reading, and it seems it's usually because a program hooks into explorer.exe or the user's AD configuration was accessed from a 2008 server. There is a problem with accessing users from 2008, as it ticks the "launch these programs on startup" without being prompted.

The solution is to open the user from a 2003 server, and remove the tick, then make sure you do not access the user again from the 2008 server.

I dont know if this has been patched yet, but it was an MS acknowledged error.
