Citrix and Autoit?

[lyledg 0]

Guys

Knowing that Autoit can detect the OSversion by using the macro @OSVersion, is there a way or functionalility being worked on to detect Citrix as a OS platform?

Thanx

I know nothing about Citrix, so forgive me if I ask a dumb question, but have you verified that AutoIt even runs on Citrix?

Yes, it does

I have written a GUI logon script that has been running in our network environment now for months, and it has been tested on Citrix.

At the moment, I look for an custom environment variable that is set at build time of the server, but seeing that Autoit can detect what OS it is running on, I was just curious to know if Citrix can and if at all will be included at some point?

Cheers

I guess you mean AutoIt runs within a Citrix session, not within a Citrix OS. This means that autoit runs on a windows server somewhere and reports the OS version of the windows server.

I think the best you can do is check if there are special environment variables that are only set when a Citrix session is active or maybe registry entries.

I once wrote a function detecting if my script is running on a Terminal Server. Maybe it suits your need.

Func IsTerminalServer()
   Local $ProductSuite
   $ProductSuite = RegRead ( 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\' & 'system\currentcontrolset\control\ProductOptions', 'ProductSuite' )
   if @error then
      Return 0
      SetError(1)
   Else
      Select
         Case $ProductSuite[1] = "Terminal Server"
            Return 1
         Case Else
            Return 0
            SetError(1)
      EndSelect
   EndIf
EndFunc

Not sure if the return value for RegRead() changes in one of the last betas when processing a REG_MULTI_SZ key. So here is a corrected version:

Func _IsTerminalServer()
   Local $sProductSuite
   $sProductSuite = RegRead ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions", "ProductSuite" )
   if @error then
      Return 0
      SetError(1)
   Else
      Select
         Case StringInStr($sProductSuite, "Terminal Server")
            Return 1
         Case Else
            Return 0
            SetError(1)
      EndSelect
   EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>_IsTerminalServer

the function from the previous posts does not work for me, my version uses getsystemmetrics and this seems to work fine...

#include <WinAPI.au3>

Func _IsTerminalserver()
    Return _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(4096)
EndFunc   ;==>_IsTerminalserver

the function from the previous posts does not work for me

Perhaps because it is 10 years old. AutoIt has changed just a bit as a language in that time. In the future, please do not resurrect old posts like this.

I am sorry, but as searching for _IsTerminalServer() brought me here i thought i add a working solution for everyone who comes here like me...in future i will try to keep in mind not to answer in very old threads..
