I was tearing my hair out over this one. The Xendesktop Preview kit was falling off a log easy, but Citrix really made me work for this. The trick is that there is an undocumented feature which means that by default there is no snap-in for Web Interface in the Access Management Console. I would be embarrassed to admit how long I scratched around, uninstalled and reinstalled, messed around with Webinterface.conf (talk about going back in time!). Finally I find <CDROM>:\Administration\Access Management Console\Setup\ASC_WebInterface.msi - run the install, and all of a sardine I have a happy friendly Web Interface Snap-in. Add good old CSG to the mix and you can now access Vista over the internet. I now probably now know more than is necessary about how the client accesses the Controllers, but I'll put that down as experience.

The dark foreboding "Star Wars" theme is Citrix's not mine. Not sure that I like it, but I suppose you can change it easily enough - if you can get the Web Interface plug-in to work:)

And please don't forget you will need the Root Certificate to get through the Secure Gateway, it a home made one so it won't work without the Root Certificate.
Once you are logged in click on the Citrix logo to get the Certificate (at the top of the screen the one at the bottom makes me think someone's been watching too much Sci-Fi) Once you have the Certificate, install it, but not using the defaults, change to "place all certificates in the following store" and then browse, tick the show physical stores - place in the local machine subsection of "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
Click on the Desktop you want, and if we in Africa don't have another Blackout/Internet Outage, it should all work. Unless you are actually in South Africa - where it is surprisingly responsive - please expect latency.
Oh yes, please download your Citrix client internationally, and not over this link. Even the web client is over 16MB, our connection will probably have you hanging about for half an hour before it tells you to get knotted. You can download it from http://garethcharlotte.googlepages.com/ica32pkg.msi but your existing client should work - albeit with a less flashy logo. Blast - googlepages is limited to 10MB I am going to try to find an alternative place to post the latest client interntionally.
