how to publish the application from one server to another

[19972003]

I would like to publish the application from the production citrix server to the test envirntment server, what would be the correct steps to do that? the servers are not joined to the farm yet.

TIA

Unless you have Installation Manager, then I am afraid you will need to install on second server identically as the first.

I have same application install on the 2nd server fine; but I have the issue to launch it via Citrix environment, I can get it work through Citrix desktop but it doesn't work via the published application, it will say it can't find the file

Application launches fine via server1, because the workgroup file is located locally on the server.

Server2 has the mapping drives to server1's share folders, so the app will launch correctly, because the application looks for the workgroup file on Server2.

How can I initiate the mapping first when I launch the application? I try the group policy and put the mapping bat file in all users start up folder as well and it didn't work.
Does the citrix have to be in the farm exactly the same?

Hmmm I think I got that.

Here is what I used to do if I had issues like that.

Create a batch file that will

a) map your drives maybe do a net use /d first
b) start application.exe

Publish the batch file as the app.

Should work.
