Scenario: Citrix, Win2k3. Solaris 9 Server - latest Solaris patch Samba 3.0.25c Every Monday morning, since applying the latest Solaris patches which upgraded samba from 3.0.21b -> 3.0.25c, the following occurs. The Citrix clients can no longer print. Active directory was also switched to 2003 native mode. Sunday night, Citrix servers undergo a weekly reboot. Week 1 and 2:Monday morning start of business the Citrix clients cannot print to the Samba print shares. Restart Samba, service restored. Week 3 and 4: Monday Morning before start of business, restart samba via cron scheduler, Start of business, Citrix clients cannot print.. restart samba again.. service restored. Week 5: Admin on site. Manually restart samba, test user tries to print and cannot, however smbstatus shows the citrix server connects and pulls the data file for formatting the raw print job, but the print share never registers an access. restart samba again, Citrix server pulls file and printer session registers in smbstatus. Week 6: I'm dreading this. Rollback to 3.0.21b? Data points: Printers are individually defined in the smb.conf 'browseable=' is not defined in any section.
