Post subject: server logon status
Archived from groups: alt>os>citrix (more info?)

hi, i search a way to check if a citrix server has logon allowed in a
batch file. I often have somes servers in my PS 4.0 farm that reboot
(during scheduled reboot in CMC) without authorizing logon and i don't
know why...
I use Server Alive tool to survey a lot of things on windows and Unix
servers , but i don't know how to check if a citrix server accept logon
or not... any idea ?

TIA

Pat

Check the value of WinStationsDisabled undrer HKLM\Software\Microsoft
\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
0 - Logons are enabled
1 - Logons are disabled

try "change logon /query"
but take notice - current PS versions dont reset the "logon disabled" status
while reboot.

On the Reboot Schedule properties page in the CMC, click on the Reboot
Options.
At the bottom you should see an option for Disable logons before
reboot.
My guess is that you have a value set there, and the system is failing
to re-enable the logons once the server comes back up.

perhaps you have some communication problems within the farm.
it is possible that the local "logon enabled" status are not written to the
DS.
After the reboot the server reads the "logon disabled" from the DS.
What DS you use; how many servers; the same subnet?
Change the status "change logon /enable" and "change logon /disable" some
times and use another Server to check the server-logon-status within the
farm. if only some servers have this problem - recreate the local host
cache.

i'll try to recreate local cache next week.
thanks.
