Require some info. Tried some cpu testing on NT servers running Citrix Metaframe. It appears to hang the NT servers.

Can you monitor these servers operating under citrix? Or could I be doing something else wrong.

I used both an admin ID and a server logon ID

Truth to say never tried HostMonitor with Citrix. To perform CPU test HostMonitor read one of Performance counters which is implemented as pseudo-registry data. Normally it must not have any effects on system execution.

The hangs occur after a period of time. reduced the monitoring to 1 server - after about 4-5 hours the machine appears frozen.

After you connect to the remote server, do your routines logoff the user after the test is performed?

I checked code, everythink Ok. HostMonitor disconnects from registry, release all handles. It does not cancel network connection (HostMonitor establish connection with remote system when you use "Connect as" option), but it must not be problem. If connection already established, Windows does not make new one.
Do you running HostMonitor on regular NT system and check remote Citrix Metaframe system? Do you use "Connect as" option in CPU Usage test? Could you try to disable this option?
