By default Citrix StoreFront supports 9 languages. Support can be extended to include additional languages. In many cases organizations and end users can benefit from a translated StoreFront environment as StoreFront is the central logon point for access to desktops and applications. The majority of help desk calls result from trouble logging on and/or changing passwords.

Below you will find a Dutch Language Pack for Citrix StoreFront 2.5.

The translation for Citrix StoreFront 2.5 contains more than 20 additional strings in comparison to its predecessor, mostly related to added functionalities such as Single Sign-On (SSO) and the use of smart cards.

Symptoms

• The page for a new tab ("Frequent") displays a black background.
• On a server you might experience group policy settings related to internet security zones not being applied correctly.
• Zone icons might be displayed with a lock icon in front (prior to Internet Explorer 11).

Internet Explorer New Tab Black Background

Cause

I discovered the cause on our Remote Desktop Server / Citrix XenApp 6.5 environment was that the (mandatory) profile was missing theme related registry settings. This profile was created by copying the default user profile or a new user without enabling a theme for this user first.

Solution

The solution was to configure a Windows Aero / Basic theme for the template user before copying or converting it into a mandatory profile.

Other suggested solutions include:

• Add the missing registry keys related to the Windows theme manually, through a logon script or Group Policy Preferences. [1]
• Change to and fro a different theme. [2]
• Reset Internet Explorer settings to defaults.
• Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) before installing the Desktop Experience Feature of Remote Desktop Services.

Problem In a Citrix XenApp environment the following error is displayed, even though Terminal Server License Servers and appropriate licenses are available:

"The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator."

One of our supliers initially reported this problem when they tried to log on remotely. Our admins, who were running the latest version of Citrix Receiver (3.4) because they're working on a new XenApp environment, could reproduce the problem. Therefore we first thought it was a general issue with the legacy farm. Fortunately this was not the case.

Symptoms:

• Sessions seems slow, unresponsive. User input does not seem to be processed. This applies to seamless applications and desktops.
• It seems like ICA screen updates are not received, although bytes are received when you check network traffic information in the Connection Manager.
• After pressing Shift+F2 (toggle seamless mode) you will suddenly notice the screen updates that resulted from your input.

The Citrix Web Interface is enumerating applications normally. ICA sessions to the terminal server are succesfully established. This ruled out authentication, XML and STA related issues.

Cause:
Turns out this was simply an ICA client related problem. Citrix Receiver 3.4 seems incompatible with the Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server 4.0 legacy farm. At least when using session reliability.

Update: the issue persists in Citrix Receiver 4.0.

Solution:
Use Citrix Receiver 3.3 or earlier.

... or (thanks to this post), you can set DeferredUpdateMode to False by editing your Windows registry.
