Hi,

just wanted to share something which may be helpful to you citrix admin guys:

if you publish A citrix application on a server which has Bigfix client, you may notice that when a user closes the published application, his session may remain active, and may prevent him from logging on again (depending on concurrent session limits you may have placed).

I found that the BesClientUI.exe process is preventing a smooth logoff, but a small registry tweak takes care of that.

All you need to do is to add the following registry entry to the server, and you are good to go:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI] 
"LogoffCheckSysModules"=
"BESClientUI.exe"

Hope this helps someone…

Thanks for the note, Shlomi… Also note that in BigFix you can disable the BESClientUI for remote sessions with the Task “BES Client Setting: BESClientUI Enable Mode” (ID: 573)
