    I have two questions for you guys,

    1) I am not a scripting person.. I need to push citrix Xenapp plugin on a few V90Ls, & quite a few 9455XLs. Is there a way I can do that using a package? I downloaded citrix update from Wyse website, and modified it with my Xenapp.msi, but got no luck with pushing it on a machine.. Can someone help?

    2) How does the software package work? If I have over 300 devices over my network and I push the software update to all of them. How does this push take care of the write filter being on? Do I have to include that part separately on the image?
    will appreciate any help on this!

    Thanks,

    !!

    1) Post “your” rsp file here for us to check it.

    2) WDM always knows about the status of the Write Filter and will take of the enabling/disabling of it.

    Thanks. I was able to create a package and push it on a device using WDM 4.7.2.
    I will tell you how I created the package. I used wininstall and took a before image, installed xenapp and took an after image and the differences. and then I created a package with those files, edited rsp file, and it worked fine.

    The problem is, this is my test environment and is very different from the production. The production environment still has Rapport 3.02, and most devices in all the county offices are 9450 or 9455s.
    -> they are all on different subnets.

    So, I tried pushing the same package I had created using Rapport 3.02 (also on my test lab) on a 9455 machine (same machine I had pushed the same package through WDM) and it failed while trying to copy some files. Would you know why?
    Here’s my rsp file – (it will give you an idea of how my package looks like –

    [Version]
    Number=Xenapp-Web-Plugin
    Description=Installs the Xenapp-Web-Plugin
    OS=XP
    Category=Other Packages

    [Script]
    ;
    CO “XP”
    CF “C” “15000”
    ;
    ;


    ; Query User and Lockout
    ;



    LU

    ; Copy over new files
    ;



    XC “Documents and Settings*” “c:Documents and Settings”
    XC “Program Files*” “c:Program Files”

    ;

    ; Update Registry

    thanks!

    oh ya, and one more question.

    Would you know the mechanism of how WDM knows when to disable write filter/image the device/ and enable it back?

    The installed HAgent is telling this to WDM.
