    Advanced Concepts Guide for MPS 3.0 now available

    http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=276&entryID=4462&fromSearchPage=true There are many good tips in here for pre-MPS 3.0 installations - but remember to adapt the information to suit your environment! The older AC Guides are still available - if you weren't aware of them.

    Trying to create a dummy terminal for Citrix connection

    The Linux client requires an X server in order to be able to display the graphical data sent to it by the MetaFrame server. You'll need a version of XFree86 - or, more likely, a supported distribution. As a suggestion, you can get a much "thinner" client by using the DOS ICA client. Hope this...

    Citrix and security

    You can use GP to hide the drives, and Windows security settings to lock down places you don't want users to go. It would be better to create a new Group with the required enhanced priveleges than use the Power Users group. Try this, add a test user or two until you get everything working the...

    OK w/ FR 2 + FR 3 in same farm????

    You may get all kinds of odd licensing messages - personally I would set up an FR3 farm, then migrate users and servers from the FR2 farm into it as and when you need to. You've then got a backup strategy in case things go pear-shaped, as well as a fairly bullet-proof method of piloting FR3...

    New Install

    Should be quite straightforward as long as you do the groundwork; 1) Ensure the server is at the same O/S build as the others (service packs, hotfixes, registry tweaks, etc). 2) Ensure the software build is at the level you need - if you're load-balancing apps, for example, they should be...

    MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0

    I found the upgrade to be very smooth. I like the new Access Suite Console, and the new licensing makes everything a lot easier; I set up a test farm of 12 servers, which I upgraded to MPS3.0. The first two I did manually, then did an unattended install on the remaining 10, after I'd checked...

    dumb workstations connections/networking

    I'm assuming that the client is not going to be loaded from the floppy disk - that the floppy disk is just a client drive for loading/saving data. In this case, you need Windows 2003 server at a bare minimum. I assume also that what you meant when you said Windows XP - is not the Desktop O/S...

    dumb workstations connections/networking

    Actually, I don't see why a terminal equipped with an RDP client can't connect to a Windows XP Professional PC. It's only RDP, after all - exactly the same as the server versions of Windows use. Of course, it would only be one terminal. To connect a network of terminals, you need Windows...

    cmos problem, can't POST

    Check RAM is seated correctly, check CPU is seated correctly - and check CPU heatsink is on the right way round. Don't ask - it's a long story :-) Hope this helps.

    Tweaking a Windows98 Pc performance

    Good point about ownership of the license to use the product - remember that there is no such thing as an evaluation version of Windows 98, and to use it legally, you must buy a copy. Alternatively investigate Linux as a legal, free Operating System which has tons of free supported software...

    Server CALs for Citrix or Term Serv Remote Access?

    Yes to both. If you are accessing a session on a Terminal Server you require a TSCAL. Try forum48 for all your Citrix needs :-)

    Tweaking a Windows98 Pc performance

    1) When the machine starts up, the BIOS reports the CPU speed. You can also find this by right-clicking My Computer and choosing properties. This will also tell you how much RAM you have, although that, too is shown by the BIOS on startup. 2) Add RAM. Remove any unnecessary background tasks...

    Citrix Vs VPN/Terminal Services advice

    Very, very useful information, Nostferatu - this would make a good FAQ, if re-stylised! I Hope you don't mind me picking you up on the (minor) point that printing under Microsoft Terminal services is the real bugbear. Yes, I know Citrix developed TS in the 1st place, but, unlike Microsoft, they...

    transfer citrix xp to new servers

    If it's new hardware, your best option is a fresh build, IMO. You really don't want to even attempt to copy a server build; even though SIDGen might be good at rebuilding the SID, you'll be in trouble with hardware drivers from day one until the day you give in and rebuild. If all the servers...

    Remote Administration Via Citrix

    I hope I'm not stating the obvious, but if the clients are running Windows XP, you can use the RDP client that comes with Windows 2003 server. As an alternative suggestion (and I know it's not the rasion d'etre of the software), you could use Gotomypc, which operates through a web browser - so...

    Vanilla install XPs future release 3

    The grace period applies once the license strings have been entered - the time period that expires is that between installing and activating the licenses. Users will not be able to log onto a MetaFrame session unless there is an available Connection license (in other words, you need both...

    Recycling MetaFrame 1.8 licenses

    Unfortunately not. MetaFrame XP is version 2.0, and, as with any version increment, new licenses are required. You can use 1.8 servers in an XP farm, however, for a gradual transistion - just make sure you build the farm in mixed/interoperability mode. Hope this helps.

    computer slow,6 things on irq 11

    Quote "APIC - Win2k and XP can make use of the extra hardware IRQ's that have been commonly available in single processor motherboards over the last 18 months or so." ...and laptops got I/O APICs much later than desktops. You're assuming that the laptop in question is less than 18 months old. I...

    Disconnected from Network

    Check the NT or Windows 2000 forums - your domain has communications issues. I've seen these in plenty of places - but I only deal with the Citrix servers normally so don't know the root cause. HTH

    computer slow,6 things on irq 11

    This is a different discussion, although thanks for the links. If you want to know more, Microsoft have loads of guidelines and recommendations on the use of these devices on their website http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/platform/proc/apic.mspx. I think I was right in assuming that the...
