We have gone as far as setting up an exact replica of our client’s infrastructure and allowed Wyse to access it 24/7.

They claim to only have suffered 1 TPF during their tests on our systems.

We can get it to bomb like clockwork, with more and more websites added to the list of sites that cause the TPF.

At this point, we have no choice but to move on with non-wyse thin clients. This issue has 3 of our most important clients furious.

FYI – we’re using 6.5.0_30 on S10 & V10L.

(anybody want to buy a bunch of S10s and V10Ls, cheap?)

Here’s the latest:

Now running 6.5.29 on both S10 & V10L.

We continue getting TPF errors on both units, but it’s isolated to Win7 VMs and Windows Terminal Server 2008. We can recreate the TPF about 50% of the time.

When connecting via RDP to XP or TS 2003, we cannot recreate the TPF.

This appears to be an issue isolated to Winterms connected via RDP to Win7 VMs.

Tests have only been run using Win7 x64 VMs.

Additional tests will be performed using Win7 x86 in a few days and I’ll post the results.

In the meantime, I have a pretty unhappy customer 👿 .

Thanks for the reply.

We’re getting this at a few clients who use their systems in entirely different ways.

The website I outlined in my previous post will eventually bomb the S10 or V10L. Just not all the time. There are more sites too, and as I collect them I will post them.

We only use RDP, Not ICA.

Problem manifests itself whether Winterm is connected to a 2008 TS or a Windows-7 VM.

After the issue, there are times when a reboot of the WT will not reconnect to the host, and a reboot of the host is necessary to kill off the webpage that is causing the issue.

At both clients, we have broadband connections in excess of 20 mbps with only a handful of users. Plenty to go around.

LAN infrastructure is first rate: Cat5e cabling; Dell 5000 series gigabit switches. Dell T710 server with quad NICs, 48 GB RAM, 15k rpm disks, RAID-6 running vSphere (ESX 4), etc., etc. Horsepower is not an issue.
