Re: CA Express, Citrix, Win2000

[tomh@xxxxxxxxx]

My experience is about 18 months old...

We installed Client Access on a WinNT 4.0 running Citrix Metaframe.  Total disaster.  We had to completely reload the Citrix machine.  Apparently, it was an older version of Citrix; so make sure you start with a really current Citrix, and have all of your service packs and PTFs up-to-date.

But just in case, make sure you've got enough space on the PCs - you may wind up installing CA on each one anyway (which is we wound up doing at the time).

Our site is considering Citrix for our Win2000  desktops, 
with CA Express. I read the CA Home page & info  apars
and got the impression it can be something other  than
a smooth install. Any experiences or tips to  share?
The pc's are spread over many local buildings and  
around the country via frame. Many pc's have a  printer
in the parallel port, and some network printers.  
We do run mostly S36 screen pgms (old package) and  
have been using CA named devices for terminals  & printers.
Some pc's have Win95/98, but all should have  W2000
before Citrix added.
Thanks in advance.
