Set Up GoToMeeting for Use with Citrix Presentation Server..... Mic & Speakers Setup - Mac Users. Up and running in a matter of seconds. Software or other programs that may interrupt or distract from the meeting. I have successfully used the MS RDP client for Mac to connect to a Windows 7 PC via a VPN which hence has direct access to the remote PC network, but I am trying to get a Mac to work using RDP via the RWA/Remote Desktop Gateway.

• Interrupts Per Second Citrix For Mac

Hi, Scenario: Windows 2003 SBS, second File Server on windows 2003. We need to have Mac users and other pc users gain access to our small business server remotely. Main usage is access to file server via mapped drives, word, excel, outlook.

I'm thinking if we setup a citrix server, this may be possible. A couple of questions: 1. How much is a ball park cost of this?

Can I install Citrix (as a server) on one of the existing File servers? Or does the citrix install require a clean OS? What components will I need? Users gaining access to this would be around 10. Can I use the existing File server running windows 2003 to add the Terminal Server service and have users log into that and access their session- Thanks in advance for your feedback. Citrix is an additional Per User cost on top of Terminal Server Access licenses. TS user is about $80 per (minimum of 5).

Interrupts Per Second Citrix For Mac

Citrix is about $250-$450 per user (lower one will fit you). You are better off to install onto a new server. Mind you that Citrix may be overkill. Are your Mac users on the network or Internet? I think you said Remote as in Internet. With SBS you have the framework to host a web page that your users can access from the Internet that will allow them to connect to PCs in your office (and maybe a Terminal Server, Citrix not needed). There is a Terminal Server Client for Mac OS, so this is why I think Citrix is Overkill.

(Citrix is Terminal Server pumped up on Steroids). Even if you do only Terminal Server, and not add Citrix, this is not a simple endevor (like a file server). While you can just Whip One Out quickly, it won't last long (get slower, problems will come and eventual crash) if it is not done well. To answer your question: Go with just Terminal Server, forget Citrix unless you have $6-10 K to spend on licenses and consultant to install.

You will need a new server, it is bad Ju-Ju to install onto a file server (security issues will be had, but possible, do at your own risk, if TS goes down so does your files) and SBS as a TS is even worse (larger security issues and crash issues). David BTW I have been doing Citrix for 10 years (back when it was Metaframe XP) and TS for 8 (since Windows 2000). Thanks for the tip David. I agree with going the Terminal Server route as its much cheaper and citrix is over kill for what they currently need. My intentions are to install vmware on the file server, then create a virtual OS for windows 2003 that will hold the terminal server role. This way it won't interfere with the existing FileServer. And I assume the SBS webpage that is currently accessible will see the Terminal server and allow access to the terminal profile for each user through existing webpage.

I am not positive about SBS showing the TS. I think the SharePoint site that drive the user interface queries AD for a list of Computers and TS wiould be considered a Server. It might, after you join the TS to the doamin you will find out. If not then google the issue and you might find it, I am sure you are not the first to do this. BTW, when you config the TS server choose the User mode of licensing, not Device. User mode is not tracked hard in 2003, while Device is.

In 2008 they fixed the hole in User licensing. You can install the TS License server service on the SBS server. You will have a 120 days grace period to purchase the TS User CALs. This way you can get it working and the bugs out before you spend that cash.

Version 4.8 of Citrix Receiver for Windows comes with automatic update functionality which is enabled by default. There are a couple of different ways to control the behaviour of the auto-update feature. Note: Receiver for Mac 12.6 also has the auto-update ability. You may want to use auto-update but adjust the default behaviour. The ways to configure auto-update related settings are described below. Things to note.

Outbound proxies must be configured with an exception to the Receiver auto-update Signature service and the download location. By default auto-update is disabled on Session Host, Remote PC and VDI VDA machines.

Auto-update is disabled on machines that have Desktop Lock installed. Machines must be connected to the internet for auto-update to work. Receiver for Web users cannot download the StoreFront policy automatically. You have to add or refresh the StoreFront account manually through Receiver. The first method is GPOs.

Download the Receiver for Windows ADMX templates from Citrix and import them on to your Domain Controllers. Edit/create a GPO and navigate to Computer Configuration - Policies - Administrative Templates - Citrix Components - Citrix Receiver - AutoUpdate. You have two configurable settings. The first setting Set the Delay in Checking for Update can be set to Fast, Medium or Slow.

This allows for staged upgrade rollouts. Fast means an update is pushed out as soon as it is available. Slow means the update will be pushed out after it has been available and tested for a period of time. Medium is somewhere in between. The second setting Enable or Disable AutoUpdate Policy is used to set auto-update to disabled, auto (default) or manual (user checks manually for updates).

You can also specify if only LTSR Receiver versions are offered for upgrade and set a defer count. The defer count can be set as a value of -1 to 30.1 means no limit is set on the amount of defers a user can perform. A value of 3 would allow 3 maximum defers for example. A value of 0 means the remind me later option is not displayed. The second method is to disable auto-update via command line when installing Receiver. A couple of new switches exist to control the behaviour of the auto-update feature. /AutoUpdateCheck – Configure auto-update to be on, off or manual.

Values accepted are AUTO, MANUAL and DISABLED. /AutoUpdateStream – Control if auto-updates are for LTSR versions only or Current Release versions.

Values accepted are LTSR or Current. /DeferUpdateCount – Allows you to specify the number of times you can defer an update notification. Values accepted are -1 to 30.1 means the user can defer any number of times. /AURolloutPriority – Specify the speed of which a rollout of an upgrade will be performed.

Values accepted are Auto, Fast, Medum and Slow. For more information on a command line install of Receiver for Windows see The third option is using Preferences. This setting is per-user and user defined settings will be written to HKCU. Right-click on Receiver and click Advanced Preferences. Click on Auto Update.

Choose your desired setting. The fourth option is using StoreFront by modifying the web.config file found in wwwroot Citrix Roaming. Find the text beginning Enter lines as below, modifying to suit your needs. The fifth option is using CitrixReceiverUpdater.exe after Citrix Receiver has been installed. CitrixReceiverUpdater.exe can be found in%ReceiverInstallLocation% Citrix ICA Client Receiver.
