Citrix Error 1030 Protocol Driver Error

For All Things Citrix. Hey guys, I need your expertise on this issue I’m having. Here’s a quick background so you know where I’m coming from. A month ago I got hired as a VI/VDI Systems Engineer/Consultant. Dealing with mostly with VMware and Citrix.

Feb 25, 2003 Running Citrix Metaframe XPe on Windows 2000 server (No NFUSE)- all the latest drivers and patches, using Wyse Winterm clients, I receive the following errors when more then 2 or 3 users try to connect at the same time either to Microsoft Word or Works 'Cannot connect to Citrix Server, error 1030 - Protocol Driver Error.

I was very excited and thankful to get the position except I have no background in any virtualization aside from messing around with VMware workstation at home. They knew that, by the way, when they offered me a job. Anyway, so I’m learning as I go. Here is the issue I’m having, as the title says I keep getting a “ status (1030)” error. I tried to research the issue but I guess that error is a pretty general error code.

Here is what I have setup: I setup a lab in our office to train on and I feel I’ve made great progress. Efilive 7 5 Keygen Software. I was able to get a whole lab going that I isolated from our main network.

I’m running all this on a physical server using ESXi 5.5. I am running XenDesktop 7.6 I’m running 3 virtual servers which are the DDC, Domain Controller, and an Issuing CA. As this is just a lab environment I installed everything on the DDC; Director, License Server, Storefront, and Studio. The Domain Controller is running DNS, DHCP, ADDS, and File and Storage Services. My lab environment is running on a 10.10.0.x IP scheme. I have been able to successfully deploy VDIs and run them with no issues within my lab environment.

The DDC is set with two NICs, a static IP on the first one for my lab network and the second one is running DHCP to reach our production/main network. It is the only machine that can connect to our main network.

Our main network uses 192.168.x.x for IP addressing. As I mentioned before, everything seems to work great within my lab. I’m now trying to connect to it from our main network.

To do this I launch my browser and key in the 192.168.x.x IP address that the DDC is getting. I can connect to StoreFront and I can login just fine but when I try to launch a desktop it just hangs and gives me the error. From vCenter I can tell that it reaches the VM because it powers one on every time I try to connect, but it’s not able to connect to it. Because it runs fine inside my 10.10.0.x network I can only assume that it is a networking, which I'm not an expert in either, issue but I might have missed a step or two somewhere. Any insight or really any advice is much appreciated. I want to have this running and working so I can show my boss I can do this! From vCenter I can tell that it reaches the VM because it powers one on every time I try to connect, but it’s not able to connect to it.

I believe the power on request comes from the DDC when the launch is requested. This doesn't verify that the client can reach the desktop, this just means that the DDC can communicate with vCenter. The DDC is set with two NICs, a static IP on the first one for my lab network and the second one is running DHCP to reach our production/main network. It is the only machine that can connect to our main network. That's the problem.

The desktop communication doesn't flow through the DDC. The DDC acts as a matchmaker between client and desktop. When you login, SF talks to the DDC and enumerates the available resources for your account. Chameleon Serial Thriller there.

When you launch one, SF sends the launch request to the DDC and the DDC tells you (via SF) what desktop to talk to, at which point your device reaches directly to the desktop to establish a session. Your 192.168.x.x client is getting told to talk to a 10.10.0.x address, can't get there, and the attempt dies with 1030.

To provide access to this environment there either has to be a way to talk between the two subnets or you need to implement a NetScaler Gateway that has NICs on both interfaces and use ICA Proxy to tunnel the traffic through it. Hey guys, So I'll be honest and say that I wasn't able to fix the issue even though I now have a solution. NetScaler is a beast and it's going to take some lab time to figure out how to use and configure it. I was able to make it work within my lab and got it configured by watching a couple of videos and some light reading.
