If you need to figure out if your Citrix Servers are set to access the datastore directly or indirectly there are two ways to do this:

1) look to see if MF20.DSN exists, this should be found "c:Program FilesCitrixIndependent Management Architecture" if it isn't there that server is setup for indirect mode

2) look under the follow Reg Key: <span>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrixIMA if there is a key titled PSServer with a server next to it, the server under that value is the server that connects to the DB.</span>

<span>Pretty simple, always use direct not indirect if you have a SQL DB.</span>
