Scenario ->
1) Explorer.exe is published for your users to use (browsing shared folders, private folders, etc)
2) Main part of Office 2007 is installed locally on your golden XenApp image (win2k8)
3) A few applications like Visio, OneNote, Project are profiled and streamed to server
Now when a user launches Explorer, and tries to open a Visio project, it appears as Visio is not installed (no file associations) – now i think about it, it would probably also
be a problem if the user tries to open an attachment from outlook.
This happends cause its a streamed to server application, and cant be seen by the xenapp server it self,unless its actually logged on to a profile with the appropriate access to the published resources)
as far as i can tell, theres not yet any smart way to solve this problem, a temporary solution until Citrix figures something out is to run the ICA client a second time when
the user logs on (letting it run on the xenapp server)
for this to work theres a few things we need to do.
in your UserLogon.cmd script for your AD users, add
Cmd /C “C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\pnagent.exe”
just remember to change the path if its located somewhere else.’
On your XenApp servers add the following registry entries to prevent the ica client from hanging on the server after user logs off
Path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI
Value Name: LogoffCheckSysModules
Type: REG_SZ
String: pnamain.exe
Now fire up Streaming Profiler and get ready to edit your already profiled applications.
After its opened, browse to (Target Properties – Applications – Modify)
Under “Command line parameters – Optional) Add 2 asterisks (**) and save your profile again.
in AMC open up all your published profiled applications and go to Content redirection
here you need to check “Show all available file types for this application” And Select all the extensions you want to use.
Now, when the user logs on, he will see the ica client again, and after logging on, he should be able to browse and open documents though Explorer with streamed applications.
