Mutiple Users (Citrix Involved)

[Jay]

I realize that the beta version is not yet meant for
Enterprise distrobution, due to what was mentioned in
some previous posts ("Multiple Users on a Domain, Thom
Paine", Feb 2, 2005).
My question is dealing with the same, but on a Citrix
scale: Will the real deal be able to work with a Citrix
environment, with mutiple users, while giving just the
adminstrators the access to allow or block/remove items
that would get caught by MS Antispyware?

This is the place to make that wish known.

Microsoft has a serious stake in the terminal services environment--so
making sure that the managed (and paid) version of this product works in
that environment is probably part of their plan, but I've no inside
knowledge.

They do read the feedback in these groups, and use it in making those plans.

I'll second the wish, in fact posted a question about it in the General NG.
I've had to install MSAS on my Citrix server because someone downloaded
something with WinTools in it. But now it loads in every profile at about
20M ram a pop, with ~20 people in at a time, glad I just upgraded the memory
to 2GB last fall!

You could turn off real-time protection. This'd leave it out there for
updates and scan/remove, but not provide any real-time checkpoint
monitoring.

See the workaround paragraph in this KB article. I've never run a Citrix
server of any size--I ran one which involved less than half a dozen users
back when the product was based on NT, as I recall--so I don't recall how
much work this'll be--more than it should be, I suspect.
