Need to become a Citrix XPa brain in 3 days!!

Hey Howdy....

The boss tells me I need to become a Citrix master by Monday. UHG..

Anyway, can anyone give me some good links/FAQs, or any info on the Setup and configuration of Citrix XPa?

All help would be great!

Thanks

Yikes. Citrix is pretty easy to setup but definitely not easy to master. This site usually has some good info.

Cool Cool.

I like Citrix. I am learning quite a bit.

I have been able to setup a farm, used the Citrix docs to clone the setup and have been able to connect happily.

YA!

Now I am looking to automate things. I would like to be able to give people a .ICA file that they can use to easily attach to my servers.

Is there a tool/guide to setup the ICA file? I seem unable to do it correctly at the moment.

Thanks

Shawn

I found the answer to the .ICA file. This is how you do it:


1. Start Published Application Manager. (On the MetaFrame desktop, click Start, point to Programs, MetaFrame Tools, and then click Published Application Manager.)


2. In Published Application Manager's main window, select an entry in the list of published applications.


3. In the Application menu, click Write ICA File, or right-click the published application and select Write ICA File.


4. Follow the directions on screen. When prompted, save the ICA file to some location on the Web root of your Web server.

You can test ICA files on any system on which you have installed one of the ICA Windows Web Clients and that can access the Citrix server using TCP/IP. Copy the ICA file to that computer and then double-click it in File Manager or Windows Explorer.


Now....what needs to be done to create an ISS Silent Install of the ICA client and integrate this ICA file?

Thanks.
