Farm and Citrix Servers Not Listed or Displayed in AMC

Farm and Citrix servers are not displayed in AMC (Access Manage Console).

I recently updated a 4.5 presentation server in a vmware test farm and server to AMC 4.6.2. After the update, that went without error, the farm and citrix server nodes in access management console were no longer displayed.

I used the solution found in CTX125827 : http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125827

I ran the two scripts and the batch file and they worked. The farm showed up first then the presentation server.

After you perform the steps above you might get a discovery error and see ONLY the farm but not the presentation server (xennapp server). Configure discover and add the servers name into the list for discovery. That will get the server node to appear, the published apps, and everything else. If you keep getting discovery errors, the following is what I did:

I went to configuration tools and removed the current configuration and then exited the console, I started the AMC console again then recreated the configuration. NO more discovery errors.

 Microsoft RDP has increased in usage. It is used by system and server administrators as much as it's used to connect to desktops for users to access applications remotely, such as RDP with RDS (terminal Services). Admins mostly use it for remote administration of the server in their data-centers but can also access users desktop remotely and control their systems with full remote access to correct as software

 After you open your connection through hyper-term, press enter a couple times. You should get a prompt similar to the following: ‘ciscoasa>’, or ‘nameofyourdevice>’ type ‘ena’ which is the abbreviation for "enable" to go to enable mode. Enter the password, or just press enter if there is no password set. type ‘config t’ type ‘config factory-default’ hit spacebar when the ‘more’ is displayed to get the next page of output. You want to get back to the prompt that looks like: ‘ciscoasa(config)#’ type ‘reload save-config noconfirm’ Make sure that the outside line is plugged into port zero, and your pc is plugged into any of the ports 1-7.

Fix Error 1603 when you install QuickBooks Desktop

There are many causes to application not behaving as expected, there are of course networking errors. Networking connects devices all across the Internet and in immediate space around you.  Database issues are also caused by networking problems. there are occasion where applications that use databases simply don't install. The cause can be network or a simple compatibility not fully addressed by the software vendor, or the applications release was for up to a specific OS build number. An update on the client device has also been the cause of many application installation issues. A recent encounter with Intuit QuickBooks installation lead me to a solution not present in Intuit's Knowledgebase or forum support. The application installation error code was 1603. QuickBooks error 1603 is not uncommon, but the process to work around it as presented by Intuit support for QuickBooks error 1603 didn't solve it. Many were repetitive, understandable as to why, as that was the common process for solving multiple installation issues but was not successful for me. Those steps to resolve including downloading from Intuit an additional software troubleshooting component didn't resolve the QuickBooks desktop installation issue. In fact, the Intuit installation troubleshooting software also displayed an error. A unique discovery of a work around to QuickBooks error 1603 was found here.
