NeerPatel's questions

I've got a Citrix XenApp 6.5 Farm running on Win 2008 R2 Servers. I purchased 200 Device RDP/Remote App Licenses for ~200 users. We went with Device licenses, because most of the end users use the same machines.

After 1 month of operating, we started to run out of licenses. It turns out the licensing service is consuming multiple licenses for the same machine.

I can revoke licenses, but there is a limit to how many I can do. Is this operating correctly? The only explanation I can come up with is that the Licensing service is giving a license to a device for every server it connects to in our Citrix farm.

Is there a GPO setting that allows non-admins access to change their network settings. Which is what the SSLVPN does? If so, what is it?

Background : I've got a few laptops that are used by Domains admins, that can access the Watchguard SSLVPN. But we now have end users that need remote access, and it seems Windows wont let the VPN software to update their Network Settings.

I'm trying to determine if it's a GPO setting preventing the user from accessing the info. When we remove the laptop from the domain, the VPN works for the user.

I'm building a new XenApp 6.5 Farm, which requires SQL 2008 R2 Express(which I've installed on a machine called vCitrixServices). I installed XenApp on vCitrix1 and started to creating a new farm, but I get this error trying to connect to our database.

DB server : vCitrixServices

I can connect using MS SQL Management Studio on the DB server using just the server name. (The SQL Server Service says the instance is called MSSQLSERVER)

I tried on my machine with Navicat Premium, and I get this error.

Things I tried that didn't work :

• All the services are enabled (SQL Server/SQL Server Browser and Client Protocols[ TCP/IP, Named Pipes, VIA])

• Remote connection were enabled.

• Added rules to windows firewall on vCitrixServices(and even turned it off altogether)

• checked all network connection from vCitrix1 and my machine, no problems there.

• Ran cliconfg.exe, and Named Pipes & TCP/IP are both enabled with priority to Named Pipes

• Named Pipes had a default pipe of "sql\query" Couldn't find if that was a problem or not.

• Client Tools & DB Engine were installed. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/360141/how-to-connect-to-local-instance-of-sql-server-2008-express)

I've done a few more things, but don't remember them all... I'll update the question with the results of any new test.

Trying to create a 2 Factor Authentication for users to access data remotely.

Here my scenario:

We have a Watchguard to VPN into the network - If we use it's internal DB to store authentication information.

Then use Active Directory credentials to RDP or access files on a server.

Would that count?

We have 2 Hyperv Servers and a SAN. When they were configured, High Availability wasn't on the horizon. But it is now.

Can I convert the current servers in place to use Failover Clustering? Or Would I have to create a cluster with different hardware, migrate the current VMs over to them, and then bring in the older servers?

I have cat5 ports through out the office that seem to not work 100%. I wanted to know if there is a software alternative to the $1000 Fluke Meters, that I can do the same thing with. Maybe something I can load it on a small netbook??

I just created a website domain newventure.com it's pointed to our server in the DMZ 192.168.110.3 network

Our internal ActiveDirectory network running company.com as our AD domain and website domain. Right now I have an "A" record for WWW in our local DNS that points to the internal address of our webserver (ip 10.0.0.5).

How can I get www.newventure.com added to our network dns and point it to our DMZ network?

I've got a script that runs just fine under the administrator user. But when a domain user executes the script, we get this error message.

CScript Error: Loading your settings failed. (Access is denied. )

This error only happens on a Windows 2008 R2 Server. Which is a member of the domain. It works fine on the Windows 2003 Domain Controller. I did a google search, and found this site http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=609886&page=457

It said, create the following registry key. Which I did, but it didn't help.

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script\Settings

Anyone have an idea how to get this to work?

test.vbs :

Wscript.echo "hello" 

The run command is :

cscript C:\FileTransfer\TEST\test.vbs
