Citrix Deployment: command line text to hex converter, vbscript, or am I out of luck ?

Hi everyone, I’m brand new here. Bear with me as I try to explain my issue as clearly as possible…

My organization is deploying Citrix to around 600 off-domain Wyse thin clients running XP. I am hoping to automate this transition as much as possible, but there are several roadblocks with these devices. A little background on me: I am quite comfortable with batch/command line scripting, not with VBScript however.

The Wyse will auto-logon to Citrix (no end-user interaction at all). The computer name and the Citrix username will be the same, but the Windows username is different and generic (no NT pass-through credentials).

In order to enable auto-logon (without someone logging in for the first time on each device), I need to edit a registry value that is in binary form, essentially converting the %computername% (which will be the Citrix username) to hex form and inserting this into a section of the registry value (which contains even more information), replacing the default values.

To simplify:

Is there a command line method to convert the %computername% to a hex value?
If VBScript is required, what method can I use to convert the %computername% to hex, and then replace a portion of the registry value (not the entire value, as it contains other necessary data) with this hex data?

Finally, has anyone else dealt with a similar Citrix deployment?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Citrix ICA Client uninstall completely

I am trying to figure out how to setup Citrix Client 10.2 to replace Clietn 8.00. The way i have done so far is to remove the citrix client 8.00 from user pc and then go into the registry and manually remove it. Still some refrences are left over. Is there way to do a deployment to a pc to remove the old cleint completely and tehn install the new client or if someone know a tool that would go and clean all the refrences from the registry for citrix, that would be very helpful … thank you

Is there a way to sync the Outlook 2003 client on my notebook with the company Exchange Server in this setup?

ITKE — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:58:30 +0000

My new employer has deployed Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003 clients. They also have Outlook Web Access available. As I am on the road almost full time, I log on to our shared/hosted applications through a Citrix ICA Client. They will not allow us to use a VPN to sync-up. (Too much security risk) They tell me I can only get sync’ed when I am physically connected to our network. Is there a way to sync the Outlook 2003 client on my notebook with the company Exchange Server in this setup? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.
