Can this be done on MetaFrame

I solved the problem by making another vtg file called citrixvantage.vtg and
changing the temp path to J:. I use this file to run it on the server and it
works fine.
Thanks

We are running Citrix clients for Data Collection But in order to get
all the global alerts to work. Vantage support told me that you have
to have an e-mail client running each work station. My question is
there a way to run an e-mail client so the user does not see it and
still run Citrix.
Thanks

This is true.

>>"My question is there a way to run an e-mail client so the user does not
see it and still run Citrix."

Possibly. I created a Visual Basic application using the Microsoft MAPI
controls and set it so that the window was not visible but yet it connects
to a mail server. When executed, nothing shows on the screen or task bar,
however if you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del you can see that the application is running
and "EndTask" it. Then ran a global alert test out of Vantage and the alert
was e-mailed correctly and seemed to work fine. I was prompted at the
Visual Basic program startup for a e-mail login, but this might be able to
be hard coded into the application or set as a default somewhere. I have
only recently started experimenting with the MAPI controls so I can not say
for sure that this would work.

Michael,
You can use the mapi control to start the session with hard coded login
parameters. You need to specify the login parameters for the OCX and then
start the session. The key is to make sure that the session actually ends.

I wouldn't recommend doing this on a PC where the user may also start an
e-mail program such as Outlook Express. Any applications that do not force a
new session will use your hidden session by default and the items would not
go into the sent items box for the user.
We have used the Mapi Controls in the past with Progress without any
problems.

In order to utilize the silent Mapi session the client must have the
appropriate Ocx controls and Dll's.

Thanks,

I am trying to get Vantage to run on a Metaframe server and am having some
problems.

When I install the client on the server the local drive is J: so I enter the
path( J:\vntgwork ) for the installation. It works fine on the server but
all the other clients get the message ( Unable to open J:\vntgwork\lbi01448,
error2. (354) when trying to open it. To correct this I do a fresh client
install on a workstation of vantage using C: as the path and everything is
fine but it won't run on the server giving me the error ( Unable to open
C:\vntgwork\lbi01448, error2. (354)
any ideas?

Set the Citrix icon up so that the command line is the complete full command
line. Do not use the VANTAGE.VTG file. And then set the icon up so that
the startup directory is J:\vntgwork. You will get better performance off
the citrix box using the full command line vs. the VTG file.

Scott,
I'm don't know much about MetaFrame, but this sounds like an NT permissions
error. I'm presuming that you have a unique share for each client that
works as their J: drive (this has to be unique for each user or Vantage will
choke).

I tried your hint but now I get errors (cannot find a drive mapped to
prowin32.exe)(cannot find a drive mapped to dcd7.db) and so on.
