Re: [IUG] Millennium and Thin Clients

[Rick Cromi <rcromi at starklibrary dot org>]

We just got up and running on Tuesday...
We've been testing it for a couple of months, but our tests couldn't simulate several hundred users at once.

We have Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 installed on Windows 2003 R2 x64 servers.  We have always used a published desktop instead of applications, as our users want to be able to run more than one app at once.  We installed Millennium 2006 (150_06).

Our Group Policies caused a few issues, as we use File System and Software Restrictions.  We had to get the permissions correct on the jarcache and resources/<server>/330/eng folders/files.  There is still a permissions issue with individual users with "old" profiles.  Not all of us... just some.  Recreating the profile resolved this, but I think this had something to do with the java config files in the user's profile.  We didn't quite track that down all the way as recreating the profiles proved easiest and also trimmed down the bulbous profiles some users had grown into.

We used to use a single login for each building's circ desks when it was just a telnet connection to a text-based system.  With Millennium being a java app, I thought it best to add a user for each machine to make individual connections and work space environments.  Improves the Citrix printer autocreation process, as well.  I also stopped redirecting the user's Desktop in Group Policy, as I noticed that the java app uses the desktop as a workspace for temporary files.

So far, it's been working well.
One issue I am still trying to resolve is how to use the IP identification for the Millennium applications so that the thin client's IP will show up in the "Restart a job..." section of the admin menu.  Currently, each job shows up with the farm server's IP address.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried running Millennium on a Thin Client Server?  If so,
were you successful?
