If you are a Citrix administrator then you should definitely bookmark this link. Whenever I get stuck there is always a utility here which can help get out of my problem.

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX107572

My favorite tools are

Tool Description
Repair Clipboard Chain 2.0.1 The RepairCBDChain utility temporarily restores clipboard functionality.Run the RepairCBDChain utility on your workstation and/or inside the session desktop
Project MedEvac 2.11 The MedEvac tool is utilized to run checks against a Presentation Server farm to verify environment health.  CTX108311
FarmAppUtil Tool The FarmAppUtil tool saves all the application properties with users and servers assigned to those applications in an XML file. The tool also creates a text file with a folder structure. The XML file created from the application can be modified and used for republishing all the applications and also recreate the folder structure in the new farm.
The other reason I like this  tool is because I wrote it

    Vishal,

    Since I've seen the broken clipboard chain issue far too many times, I'm wondering if this isn't functionality that should be built into the ICA Client and Presentation Server? That way if someone was having a clipboard issue, they could just press a hotkey that would invoke the clipboard repair on the client side via the ICA Client and within the session on the Presentation Server. The reason I think this is necessary is that in many environments the user is running a published application and there's no easy way to invoke RepairCBDChain within the session, so we have to instruct them to logoff and logon again.

    Just a thought.

      Hi Shawn
      This is an interesting idea by you. I will talk to engineering/PM to see if we have any plans to include this functionality in ICA.

      Do you see this problem with all versions of ICA?

    Shawn,
    here is a reply from Dmitry Vostokov

    snip~
    Occasionally, copying content from the client device and pasting it in a published application fails. The issue is caused by a third party application that prevents the client from receiving notification when new content was copied to the local clipboard.

    This fix introduces support for a mechanism to check at periodic intervals the client's ability to receive clipboard change notifications. If the mechanism finds the client unable to receive such notifications, the client attempts to register itself to receive future notifications. To enable this functionality, you must modify users' appsrv.ini files as follows:

    •Open the appsrv.ini file located in the user profile directory using a text editor.

    •In the [WFClient] section, locate or add the entry:

    CbChainInterval=<value>, where value is the interval, in milliseconds, at which checks are to be performed. Supported values range from 0 to 2,000, inclusive.

    Note: The detection takes at least twice the amount of time specified in this setting.

    •Save your changes and close the file.

    [From 9.100][#112636]
    snip~
