Citrix released hotfix PM410W001 for Presentation Server 3.0 with Hotfix Rollup Pack MPSE300W2K3R04 to address the following issues:
1. The IMA Service becomes unresponsive at random and XML browsing fails intermittently during such times.
2. On occasion, the Management Console displays empty user names ("\") for Presentation Server administrators. This occurs when the IMA Service cannot resolve security identifiers (SIDs) to their account names.
3. Users cannot create folders on mapped drives using the xcopy or mkdir commands from a command line. This occurs because the original file name rather than the canonical form is passed to the client drive mapping policy check routine.
4. On occasion, while users are in the process of logging on, their sessions become unresponsive, displaying a blue screen background only. While existing sessions are not affected, no additional sessions can be launched until the server is restarted. This occurs when there is a transient connection failure during the logon process that results in a call time-out.
5. On occasion, Terminal Services fails to start when the server is starting. The issue is caused by a licensing initialization related timing issue.
6. When using NDS authentication, users cannot connect to servers and the following error message appears:
"The system has reached its license logon limit." This occurs because licenses consumed at logon are not released at logoff time.
7. Servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen. This occurs during times of high activity resulting from printing to mapped ports and/or file copying to mapped client drives.
8. The amount of Microsoft license information in the data store tends to grow very large. This occurs because each time a non-Windows client logs on to a computer running Presentation Server, the Microsoft license information obtained by Presentation Server is replicated to the data store. If Presentation Server obtains the same license information multiple times, the same information is replicated each time.
9. Delegated administrators cannot log on to the Management Console using pass-through credentials.
10. After installing Hotfix Rollup Pack MPSE300W2K3R03, shadowed sessions and Clients for Java are disconnected when the KeepAlive time-out is reached. This occurs because the addition of the icm_ping request to implement KeepAlives fails because shadowed sessions and Clients for Java do not respond to the ping request.
This fix corrects the issue. However, users must upgrade to Version 8.4.1693 or later of the client.
11. Servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen. This occurs when a CDF trace statement is trying to print a buffer that is not null-terminated.
12. Client audio recorders may immediately stop recording when started without recording any sound. This occurs because I/O requests are being canceled when queued.
13. After applying Hotfix Rollup Pack 1, printing to client COM or LPT ports may be slow.
14. At times of heavy utilization, servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen while clients are connecting. The issue is caused by a thread synchronization problem between TSCAL license requests and worker thread pings.
15. Servers experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen on CDM.sys. This occurs when an application is accessing drive A in a session using "A:" rather than "A:\" or if it is the first process to access a client drive in a session. The issue is caused by a legacy optimization routine.
This fix corrects the issue by removing the legacy optimization routine.
16. In certain scenarios using delegated administrators with different sets of privileges, logging on and off from the Management Console causes a memory leak in the IMA Service.
17. On occasion, the Management Console displays a question mark (?) in place of administrator names. This occurs when the IMA Service cannot resolve administrator names due to a variety of domain trust issues.
18. Servers may experience a fatal error, displaying a blue screen on CDM.SYS during heavy utilization. The issue is found when driver verifier is being used.
19. When an RDP session is started followed by an ICA session, you cannot print to an ICA session printer. This occurs because by default, the RDP session has the same winstation name as the ICA session and the Citrix Port Monitor DLL doing winstation enumeration will first find the RDP session when trying to open the redirector to reach the ICA session. The print job is then sent to the RDP session instead of going to the ICA session.
20. On occasion, the MFCOM service exits unexpectedly at startup. The issue is caused by an insufficient memory allocation.
21. Users cannot connect to servers and the following error message appears:
"The system has reached its license logon limit." This occurs because licenses consumed at logon are not released at logoff time.
22. On computers running a localized version of the Windows operating system, the ICA Logon Status dialog box does not close even after the user logon process completes.
23. At times of heavy utilization, time-out messages may be generated in the System Event Log; processes such as Terminal Service, SvcHost, and IMA Service may exhibit memory and/or handle accumulation, and sessions may appear to be unresponsive.
24. When attempting to connect to a server, the following error message may appear, indicating that the server is fully loaded when, in fact, it is not:
"Cannot connect to the Citrix Server: The Citrix Server is not available, please try again later."
The issue occurs when either the non-paged or paged memory pool is a depleted. This feature enhancement allows you to configure wdica.sys to allocate memory from a specific memory pool by using the following registry key/value:
25. Inserting a hyperlink in Microsoft Office applications may fail, generating the following error message:
"An error occurred when browsing file."
26. This fix resolves the following scenarios with server to client content redirection and launching Microsoft Internet Explorer:
o Applications that do not place a space between "iexplore.exe" and a URL when launching from the command line fail to launch Internet ExplorerLaunching Internet Explorer without specifying a URL fails
o Launching Internet Explorer with the '-new' option results in an incorrect URL being passed to Internet Explorer
27. When being stopped, the MFCOM service may generate a Dr. Watson with an error dialog stating:
"Could Not Stop the MetaFrame COM Server service on local computer, Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."
