Hi there,Same here I have many customers in the past ruinnng with the same configuration. My client is the vendor and so far all traces and debugs show’s it is not the application but the OS’s (TS and File Server both 2008 not R2). I am in a complex environment that doesn’t allow me to load up a Windows 7 machine into the app environment however this is a conclusion from a Microsoft Severity A case escalation just this weekend. They are saying flat out This configuration is no longer supported UNC’s published apps that is . Since, I have deployed many applications in this configuration, in the past successfully. I am having a real hard time digesting this too. Also I should mention I am in a large hosted environment where I have direct access to the vendor and its entire product development team for full view/debugging under the hood of the application. I will update when/if I receive more info. Currently I am looking at a possible re-architecture of the entire app deployment as a result of this article. If this is true (which I am seriously doubting) this has major impact to all us Citrix publishers out there .
