How to Get Citrix Working on Your Home Computer.

  Please remember that Wasatch Mental Health does not support working from home. Remote access thru Citrix is a privilege not a right. Please do not request further help from the IT staff with trying to get Citrix to work at Home. There are far to many variables involved with home computers for this guide to work for everyone. (Viruses, Spyware, Aol) If you cannot get it to work with this guide you will need to hire someone to fix your computer and get Citrix running on it.


(When I type 10.x the "x" is a variable and can mean 1 or 2 or even 3, so if you don't find the 10.x version it is ok.)
