Installing in Citrix environment and other things.
Is there any documentation on how to make RDM work through Citrix App servers? Also, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I've created a custom install package with our license key and RDMS datasource embedded, but when I launch the Citrix app, I get these two messages:
There is a new default configuration file. Please select what to do.
Use new configuration (Lose mine)
Retrieve new registration only
Ignore
Is this because I installed a default version of RDM on the App server, and then uninstalled it, and reinstalled the custom install? How do I make it so it doesn't see the old configuration every time a user opens the application?

indeed, on a Citrix environment you do not have to use our custom installer.
Please consult http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/installation_terminalservices.htm , I think its detailed enough, but to not hesitate to ask for clarifications.

Hello - I am using RDM 10.1.0.0 on windows server 2012R2 / XenApp 7.6 (virtualized on 2012r2 hyperv) and it works great. What I am having my team work on now is to get multiple citrix servers in place to handle capacity of many users - as we are a healthcare hoster and I am using RDM (global unlimited site license) for all of our company users to get to systems in our hosting center.
The challenge that I have is around profiles - I don't want to enable roaming profiles (they are very problematic) and am looking at implementing mandatory profiles with redirected folders for appdata etc..
The question I have for this direction is - is it better to launch and configure RDM then copy out the default.cfg file and put that on every server OR should I publish RDM with the licesne and datasource (we use SQL server)?
Another question I have - when a new user logs in, they get the 'install securecrt' add in. I can't seem to find where to get rid of this for new users that log into the citrix server and launch RDM for the first time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also the terminal services install link is wrong Maurice - here is the one from the existing help website:

thanks in advance for the help!
Further - what a freaking awesome tool - I have gotten myself out of HUGE issues with 2 features (windows explorer session as I publish RDM not a desktop - this enabled file movement from pc to other servers in the environment / the other was citrix web connection - our netscalers were not all the way finished but the services team needed to test and I was able to create a connection to the storefront and fully test a citrix session to another environment - citrix passthrough all within RDM and the citrix server it was running on, just awesomeness ;)
Thanks,

Hello,
When you do not enable roaming profiles, do you still have a single install of RDM?
I am not sure that there's a setting that we can set in order to not use a roaming profile, we can change the path for the config, but some files must reside in a folder linked to your profile, either roaming or not. I will need to research this and get back to you.
Thank you for notifying me about the URL, the forum engine grabs trailing punctuation as if it was part of the URL, I fixed it.
Also thank you for the kind words, I will pass them along.
