The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cannot set Default Printer in Citrix session or via RDP - No black tick

Asked by AxmanNZ in Citrix

Tags: printer, default, citrix, set, cannot

I am running Windows 2003 with the latest updates as at 19/10/2005, with Presentation Server 4.0 with the latest hotfixes from Citrix as at 19/10/2005.
Today random users on random servers got the error "no default printer set" when launching published applications.
When publishing the printers folder and taking a look I do NOT see any BLACK TICK designating a default printer.
If I right click a printer in the list and choose the set a default option - nothing happens. No default printer is set. No black tick even after a refresh.
No error in the event log.
If I then log the user in to any other server the problem still persists.
If I log in using RDP the problem still persists.
and then all of a sudden after logging in and out a dozen or so times I am finally able to set the default printer.
This has only started happening in the last couple of days.
The only thing that has changed to my knowledge is the addition of 2 new Citrix servers with updated Windows and Citrix patch levels on them.
The problem happens on the new AND the old Citrix servers.

All advice welcome.
