Tasks to be Performed After Deploying the Agent on Citrix Servers

After deploying the ZENworks Adaptive Agent on Citrix servers, do either of the following on the 
Citrix servers before launching a terminal session with the server:

Š

Rename NWGina.dll.

 c:\windows\system32

 directory, rename 

NWGina.dll

.

2. In the Registry Editor, go to 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

, and change the 

value of the 

CtxGinaDLL

 key to the new name of 

NWGina.dll

.

3.  Reboot the server.

Š

Install the Novell Client.

IMPORTANT: 

If you fail to perform the preceding tasks, you will encounter ICA login session 

issues when you try to launch a terminal session with the Citrix server. For more information about 
the ICA login session issues, see “Unable to launch a terminal session with a Citrix Server that has
