After XX amount of days I cannot log my XPe thin client into the
domain. The computer name must be deleted out of the active directory and then re-joined to the domain. The reason why this occurs is that domain and PC exchange a secret key behind the scenes and the default time limit on this exchange is 30 days. When EWF is enabled and the PC gets rebooted and the change that has occurred is not saved in the registry. The work around for this is
Start|Run
Type regedit
Go to key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\parameters]
Locate parameter on right side
Disablepasswordchange it is set to 0
Change it to a 1

How do I install and configure Ramdisk driver? The Ramdisk driver we use for this guide is almost identical and based on the Microsoft sample driver described here: Microsoft KB 257405. The version we use in this article fixes a bug with Windows XP and NTFS partitions (described in the MS KB article) and adds the ability to change drive letter and disk size in a more user-friendly way, using the Device Manager.
We can install/configure the Ramdisk in three simple steps:
- Download and uncompress the Ramdisk driver in an empty directory you can remember: Ramdisk Driver
- In Control Panel -> Add/Remove Hardware, select Add a new device -> select hardware from a list -> Other(All) devices -> Have Disk, then point to the folder that contains the RAMDisk.inf file you extracted in step 1. Click next/finish to complete the driver installation.
- You can change the size / drive letter of your new Ramdisk from the Device manager: Right-click on My Computer, select Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> expand the RAM Disk -> Properties
At this point you have successfuly installed and configured a RAM Disk drive on your system. Keep in mind that the contents of the RAM disk are lost when changing its size and/or drive letter in Device Manager! They are also lost if power is lost, computer rebooted, etc. You might want to reboot and copy some files to your new RAM disk from within Windows Explorer to ensure it's operating properly.
Notes: In Windows XP, you might have to go to Control Panel -> System to access the device manager. Depending on your OS, you might be prompted to reboot after the drive is installed. Keep in mind that the size of your Ramdisk is substracted from the available RAM, so don't use any wild values. Depending on the intended use, 1 - 16 MB should be the enough, even in systems with plenty of RAM.
I need to PXE boot every time but it keeps getting disabled in the BIOS. If the XPe thin client has the 10ZiG agent installed on the image, it needs to be disabled in the registry.
Edit the registry using regedit
Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\10ZiG\XTC Agent
Find the dword value name EnablePXE
By default it is set to 0. Change it to a 1
Exit the registry editor
If write protection is enabled, commit the the changes.
When using Citrix with Desktop Application Software and USB wireless,
the thin client reboots continuously when it gets to the log on screen. It is the auto USB redirection caused by the Citrix desktop appliance lock, to get round it you have to add a registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\GenericUSB\Devices\VID148F PID2770] (vid and pid in this tcs case, this will vary depending on the wireless device used – you can get the VID and PID from device manager, wireless card properties and hardware ID)
Under that key, create a DWord called ‘Autoredirect’ and set the value to 0.
This stops it from attempting to redirect the wireless device to the Citrix session and restarting the thin client.

Will the red ATI7000 64MB 64Bit PCI DVI CRT card work in the 67xx series box? Yes it will work. The problem that still exists is that when you do a warm boot (restart) the fourth monitor does not come up, however if you power down completely and then do a cold boot or a normal power up the fourth monitor will initialize.
I am running an older XPe image and am having certificate issues with Flash and Shockwave. Older images in XPe SP2 and SP3 will have an issue since the Flash and Shockwave installer certificates have changed.
Updated Flash and Shockwave no longer use the Verisign Class 3 Root GA Certificate. Newer images will have the current certificate in them, however, customers who have the older images and want to update Flash or Shockwave will have an issue - the browser will show the .cab file trying to run from the website which will be untrusted and will not be allowed to install.
The certficates can be found in the zip file below:
Both certificates are needed. To install unzip the files and double click on each certificate and follow the prompts.
NOTE: WES 7 will not have this issue
