ICA SDK and .NET
March 7, 2010 by danbrinkmannIf you’re a developer and interested in Citrix maybe this article has some information for you. I’d be curious if anyone has any needs that they think aren’t being addressed by the Citrix product suite and how this might help them overcome that…drop me a note if you are seriously looking at building your own app against the SDK.

Deploying printers with SBS 2008
March 4, 2010 by Todd MooreThere is a slight problem when trying to deploy printers using group policies in Small Business Server 2008. When following the steps for server 2008 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722179(WS.10).aspx ) you will find that the pushprinterconnections.exe file located on server 2008 is 64-bit. This can be a big problem because the executable is incompatible with any 32-bit machines.
James on www.activedir.org had posted a link (http://rapidshare.com/files/177770274/ppc.exe) to download the 32-bit version of the pushprinterconnections.exe. You can also obtain this by downloading the 32-bit demo of SBS2008 and extracting the pushprinterconnections.exe from that installation.
The following document will lead you through the process of installing Print Services and configuring the group policy to deploy the printers. All you need to do after that is download the ppc.exe file, rename it to pushprinterconnections.exe and follow the directions on placing it in GPO scripts folder.
