Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server 4


Recommended Posts

We have a terminal server which clients can use to log on and run applications. Recently I wanted to experiment with Citrix and how it serves applications seems to be much better as only the application and not the whole desctop can be served. The inastallation went fine and the testing is going very well. Publishing applications is very easy. The problem that I am having is that the clients cannot log on to the terminal server like the could prior to the Metaframe installation. The connection error says that "The desktop you are trying to open is currently available only to Administrators. Contact your administrator to confirm that the correct settings are in place for your client connection." Then it has the standard remote desktop message which says that by default members of the Remote Desktop Group can connect and so on.

I am sure that the issue is somewhere with the Metaframe server as the Terminal Server was working fine with AD. Clients could log on remotely if I made them members of the terminal server application users group which was a member of the remote desktop users group. No settings were changed except that Citrix was installed.

I would like users to have the option to log onto the traditional windows terminal server session. Can anyone help me solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

    • Tesla instructor reportedly said staff leave with a 'negative taste in their mouth' by Hamid Ganji Tesla has been making the headlines over the past few months due to Elon Musk's controversy in the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. People have been marching to the streets, boycotting Tesla, and even setting their already-bought Tesla cars on fire. Tesla temporarily shut down its factory in Austin for the week of Memorial Day, and employees could either take paid time off or attend a series of training sessions. Business Insider now claims to have obtained a recording of the sessions that reveals some interesting details about the Tesla culture and how its employees feel about the company. The Tesla instructor reportedly asked employees to respond if they ever felt "I can't work under these conditions" and were uneasy about the company's constant change. "I know I have," the instructor said. "A lot of people leave this company, and they have kind of a negative taste in their mouth," the Tesla instructor added. "They think: 'Man, it was terrible. It was bad. I got burnt out. I feel like I didn't get anything done, nobody listened to me.'" Hundreds of Tesla employees allegedly attended the meetings, where they were asked to take more responsibility for improving the company's culture. "Leadership has kind of another level of responsibility for trying to guide and direct that culture," the instructor told Tesla staff. "But at the end of the day, it's us as the people on the ground that are the reflection of the culture." Tesla's factory in Austin produces Cybertruck and Model Y. The staff said shutting down the factory for the sake of Memorial Day has been unusual for the company. Elon Musk recently announced that he would leave his position at the White House and added that he'll remain Tesla CEO for another five years. In the meantime, the latest data shows Tesla sales in Europe have dropped 49 percent, and the company's profit in Q1 2025 declined by 71 percent.
    • More like you took offense to the letdown and I find it hilarious. Most people aren’t reading tech blogs, and for those that do, they know what the difference is. So really it’s a non-story to YOU, because you don’t like what it says.
    • Building 100 hospitals around the world would have spent his fortune easily. But that would not keep him at the table with the elites in the world for the rest of his life. Or keep him from chanting about how good he is to the poor people around the globe to the media.
    • Exactly. that's what I use when I do use Windows 10 on my Linux through QEMU/KVM VM (the 'activation' is tied to the UUID of the VM) and, like you said, that Jan 2032 version of Win10, even if decent program/game support ends earlier than Jan 2032, I suspect, for a conservative figure, that we got at least 2-3 years from now (so call it 2027-2028) before Win10 may start to become more of a legitimate issue. but for general usage I suspect we got a 'easy' 2-3+ years. because like you say, as long as browsers don't start to become a issue, all the more reason to continue using Win10 for many, probably most, people. even when it comes to browsers, you mentioned Firefox supports Win7 until end of August etc... but I think it's just ESR releases which, while I get it technically works, are when browser support is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth. but as long as the standard Firefox release is still supported, then one is still easily well within the 'good support range', which my comment basically plays inline with what Werct said, which I suspect comes back to my 2027-2028 estimate before Win10 'starts' to legitimately fade off into the sunset
    • Intel's new GPU driver adds support for FBC: Firebreak, Stellar Blade, and more by Taras Buria Intel has released a new non-WHQL driver under version 32.0.101.6876. The update brings support and optimizations for four games and a single fix for visual artifacts that appear in certain situations. Here is the list of newly-supported games in driver 32.0.101.6876 on systems with Intel Arc B-Series, A-Series, and Intel Core Ultra with built-in Arc graphics: FBC: Firebreak Rematch Stellar Blade Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X There is also a single bug fixed in today's release: Intermittent visual artifacts may appear in certain usage scenarios. Known issues remain the same as in the latest WHQL release, except for a new bug that causes audio glitches on handheld devices: Certain handheld devices may experience audio glitches and lower-than-expected performance while audio is playing. You can mitigate the problem by following a guide that Intel published on the official forum. It requires reinstalling the graphics and NPU drivers on the affected systems. A proper fix will be available in a future driver update. You can install Intel 32.0.101.6876 non-WHQL driver on PCs with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 with the following graphics products from Intel: Discrete GPUs Integrated GPUs Intel Arc A-Series (Alchemist) Intel Arc B-Series (Battlemage) Intel Iris Xe Discrete Graphics (DG1) Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake) Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) Intel Core 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) Intel Core 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) Intel Core 12th Gen (Alder Lake) Intel Core 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) You can download the driver from the official website here. Full release notes are available here (PDF). Keep in mind that this is a non-WHQL driver, which means it could be less stable than certified WHQL drivers.
