Failed unregistering callback tracking connected process termination (error: 997).

Posted: 28 Dec 2009 08:46 AM PST

Failed unregistering callback tracking connected process termination (error: 997).

This error I have seen for some time and here comes an explanation;

When a front-end component connects to the Listener, the Listener opens a process handle to the front-end component, and calls a system API that will automatically monitor for that process handle being signaled (i.e. the process exited), and invoke a callback function in the Listener if that occurs. If the front-end component disconnected normally, we cancel the monitoring of the handle with another API call. It appears that when we tried to unregister the callback function in this case, the callback function had already been queued up or was in the process of executing which caused this warning to be reported.

This issue was forwarded to our engineering team for further investigation and the team found no evidence that this warning had any impact on the user or product functionality and it does not require any action from you to either correct it and/or prevent it. As a result of that, this issue will be postponed for future consideration to prevent this warning from being reported.

A New Approach to PC Management

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:42 PM PDT

Traditional PC management has focused on the use of agent-based tools to support PCs. Agent-based tools place client-side software or 'agents' within the OS on endpoint devices to manage the entire PC lifecycle from beginning to end of life. This approach often uses several agents to manage, patch, update, backup, recover, secure, and migrate PCs. For many medium sized enterprises, IT resourcing can be a…

It's time to take action to advance enterprise mobility management and security. Enterprises must allow workers to bring the latest devices into the workplace to remain competitive. Compliance and the protection of sensitive enterprise data must be assured. These two missions are seemingly at odds with each other, but must be brought into balance for workplace harmony.

Account Lockout – XenApp enviornment

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 12:24 PM PDT

This is one of the common issues reported by multiple customers in XenApp environment using Kerberos. As such, Account Lockout is itself a big nightmare for any System admin, there are couple of excellent articles on Microsoft site around this topic on how to troubleshoot, what tools are require, etc (e.g. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773155%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) . However, from Citrix side, especially XenApp side, things are bit different, depends…

What the #&$&? is the OSD filename?

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 08:28 AM PDT

Once upon a time in a land far, far, away, when an APPV virtual package landed on a client machine, the OSD file was cached in a special folder using the filename it was packaged with. This made it easy to debug a new package at the client by editing the local copy. Then one [...]
