    I downloaded the TCX 5.1 suite eval to see what kind of performance gains it might give us with Flash but I don’t believe it’s functioning and am not sure what to check at this point. Here is my setup and what I have done:

    Thin Client is a V10L (for testing, we have some newer models coming soon)
    WTOS 7.1… (not at the office right now so not sure of the exact revision)
    Connecting to a XenDesktop 5.6 Farm
    My Desktops are Windows 7 64-Bit
    Using IE 9 (32 bit)

    I installed the 64-bit suite on the Windows 7 virtual desktop selecting the flash and multimedia components. In the configuration tool I verified that Flash Redirection was enabled with the Flash Acceleration fallback also enabled. DisplayW is set to true.

    When I play a YouTube video, I see no performance gains – I also do not see the yellow W.

    I didn’t make any changes to my wnos.ini file as it’s my understanding that a license file is no longer required for the eval.

    Any thoughts on what I should look at?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    In a Citrix environment the session will always fall back to HDX instead of using TCX.
    Just for testing, can you try in a RDP session instead?

    Thanks for the reply. I assumed the HDX preference in the Citrix environment was only for the Xenith/Xenith2 clients so that was my lack of understanding. I will test on RDP just to make sure with one of my T series thin clients but I believe the site where we will need the best possible multimedia performance will be XenDesktop only.

    I did see your article on tuning for Citrix so thanks for that as well.
