HP Thin Client 5740e

I have been testing out the HP Thin Client 5740e with Windows Embedded Standard 7, thankfully the HP Device Manager is much easier to use and I don't need altris !

BTW

•  The default Administrator user name and password is Administrator
• check the HP Easy Tool Administrators Guide

While it's nice and beautiful device, getting to grips with WES7 is a issue. There doesn't seem to be any clear step by step guide for a basic installation that was quick and easy for me. Specially when just putting one device in for a trial !

I can't say I have completely worked out the commit or disk write mode.

Modifications to Base TC Image (of course logged in as administrator)

1. Put the backup address in the HP device manager agent (so it will report in) or change your DHCP but to do this for me would required a RFC.
2. Change the Size of the RAM disk to 96MB (helps when you need to install applications\hp-upd)
3. Remove the vmware view client (would just confuse my users)
4. Removed the ICA client and updated with the latest web-version (because)
5. Installed ultravnc in server mode with password
   (works fine under windows 7, HPDM still attempt to vnc to TC, but vnc is not installed on 5704e!) (also helps with the service desk to locate the device's IP address, as the default permissions for user blocks access to NIC status)
6. Install HP Universal Print Driver PCL 5 - Traditional Mode
7. Added a Firewall exception for ICMPv4, ultravnc, etc
   (service desk need to beable to ping device for troubleshoot)(still might actually disable the firewall as it could cause issue when plugged into a unknown network)
8. Change Local Group policy to allow Windows Explorer to see All the Drives
9. Backup to USB !

awesome Citrix Datastore lockout SQL

Early in the day I must of entered in the wrong password for the SQL the account that is used for the datastore. Which I didn't know at the time, later than night it eventually locked out the account

Notice on the datastore the application eventlogs went nuts, servers being unable to authenticate to the database.

Then jumped on servers after a reboot and the server security log stated the citrix server account was locked out.

jumped on the pdc... nope not locked out.

started checking other server computer accounts

just for fun used dsmaint config to confirm all was working okay.

Got lots of red cross on the Admin console... so it was exciting

Log Off Terminal Server Session from a Command Prompt on based username

This script base command to clear user off a server based on username, for this to work we need to determine the session id that is required by the logoff command.

How it works :
Use the 'For' loop to search work thru the list of users on the server
Then once it has found the user then execute a logoff command

Notes:
There are 2 cases as the qwinsta doesn't display the formating the same for
disconnected sessions & active sesssions.



REM @echo off
Set servername=citrix123
Set targetname=testuser1

REM For disconnected users
for /F "tokens=1,2,3" %%i in ('qwinsta %targetname% /Server:%servername%') do if %targetname%==%%j logoff %%k /server:%servername%
REM For active users
for /F "tokens=1,2,3" %%i in ('qwinsta %targetname% /Server:%servername%') do if %targetname%==%%i logoff %%j /server:%servername%
