Remapping server drive letters

If you intend to change a server's drive letters to allow users to retain their original drive letters on their client devices, do so before installing MetaFrame Presentation Server. If you change server drive letters after installing MetaFrame Presentation Server, you must do so before you install any applications. For more information, please see the MetaFrame Presentation Server Administration Guide, which is available through the Document Center.

Installing MetaFrame Presentation Server

1. Have on hand the name of the MetaFrame Access Suite License Server your installations are to use and know the edition of MetaFrame Presentation Server (Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise) for which you are licensed.

2. If you are running Novell Directory Services (NDS), install the Novell client, configure the appropriate NDS settings, and then install MetaFrame Presentation Server.

3. If you are joining an existing server farm that is configured to use a port number other than the default port (Port 80) for the Citrix XML Service, have the new port number on hand because you must enter it during MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup.

4. Log on to the server as a user with local administrator privileges. Local administrator privileges are required to run Windows installer packages.

5. From the Autorun.exe screen of the MetaFrame Presentation Server CD, select Product installations > Install MetaFrame Presentation Server and its components and follow the on-screen instructions.

Creating a new farm

If you are creating a new server farm and plan to use Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or IBM DB2 for the farm data store, complete the following steps before you install MetaFrame Presentation Server.

1. Install and configure the database product on a separate, dedicated server.

2. Install the database client pieces on the servers on which you want to install MetaFrame Presentation Server. Depending on the database product you are planning to use, this involves the following steps:

• For use with Microsoft SQL Server, ensure Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) Version 2.61 with Service Pack 1 is installed on the server on which you are installing MetaFrame Presentation Server.

• For use with Oracle, install the Oracle Client on the server on which you are installing MetaFrame Presentation Server. Restart this server before running MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup.

• For use with IBM DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition Version 7.2 with FixPak 5-13, on the server on which you are installing MetaFrame Presentation Server, install the matching DB2 Run-Time Client. Before running MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup, restart the server.

• For use with IBM DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition Version 8.1 with FixPak 1-7a, on the server on which you are installing MetaFrame Presentation Server, install the matching DB2 Run-Time Client. Before running MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup, restart the server.

3. Have on hand credentials that possess database ownership (DBO) rights. This level of permission is required only once upon initial creation of a new database for the farm data store.

Joining an existing farm

If you are joining an existing server farm, complete the following tasks before you install MetaFrame Presentation Server.

1. Decide whether you want the server to connect to the farm data store directly or through another server running MetaFrame Presentation Server (indirectly). If you choose to connect to the data store indirectly, be sure to have on hand the name of the server through which you connect.

2. Have on hand credentials that possess read/write permissions to the existing farm data store database. MetaFrame Presentation Server uses these credentials on an ongoing basis to read from and update the farm data store.

3. Have on hand MetaFrame Presentation Server administrator credentials with full rights, which during Setup are required to join a server with an existing farm.

Upgrading MetaFrame Presentation Server

The installer for MetaFrame Presentation Server supports:

• Applying service packs to servers running MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0

• Upgrading servers running MetaFrame XP Feature Release 3 or MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0

If you are running MetaFrame 1.8 or a version of MetaFrame XP prior to Feature Release 3, before upgrading to this release of MetaFrame Presentation Server, you must upgrade legacy servers to MetaFrame XP Feature Release 3 or MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0. For information on how to perform these migrations, see MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 Upgrade and Migration Guide, which is available for download from the Citrix Knowledge Center.

If the server you are upgrading has a MetaFrame Win32 client installed on it that is a version later than the one that is available with the release to which you are upgrading, uninstall the client before upgrading the server. To retain the newer client, re-install it after upgrading the server.

Downloading and Installing Critical Updates

After you install this product, to ensure optimal performance for your installation, download and install Citrix critical hotfixes and service packs for installed components. Citrix also encourages you to revisit this Web site periodically to learn about and download additional critical updates as they become available.

Upgrading to the International Version of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.2

If you installed the English-only version of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.2, upgrade to the International version to ensure you have access to the latest functionality.

Upgrading to the International version of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.2 is a two-stage process:

1. Upgrade the Logon Agent

2. Upgrade the Advanced Gateway Client

The upgraded Logon Agent enables users who are members of the Alternate User Interface or Messaging Synchronization groups to be redirected to their existing Access Center if they are unable or unwilling to install the Advanced Gateway Client.

Upgrading the Logon Agent

To upgrade the Logon Agent:

1. Save a copy of your current LogonProxySTA.asp configuration file.

2. Remove the upgrade to the Logon Agent installed as part of the English-only version, labelled Secure Gateway for MetaFrame - Logon Agent Upgrade in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box.

3. Upgrade to the latest version of the Logon Agent by running the CSG_LA_2.2.msi file available on the product CD.

4. Overwrite the new version of the LogonProxySTA.asp configuration file with your saved copy.

Upgrading the Advanced Gateway Client

To upgrade the Advanced Gateway Client:

Run one of the following packages, available on the product CD:

• A Windows Installer package for use with Windows 2000 and above— AdvGWClient.msi

• A self-extracting executable for use with Windows 98— AdvGWClient.exe

Redirecting Users to an Existing Access Center

If the Logon Agent is unable to detect the presence of the Advanced Gateway Client, users are directed to the No Client Detected page when they attempt to log on. To be redirected to an existing Access Center, users should select the I want to exit now option on the No Client Detected page.

Note: This is a change to the behavior currently documented on page 42 of the MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.2 Supplementary Guide. For more information, see Documentation Errata.

Limitations and Known Issues

This section describes important limitations and known issues in this release of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.2.

Alternative User Interface Issues

Alternative user interfaces do not load correctly.

Some network configurations may prevent alternative user interfaces loading correctly. To fix this problem, do the following:

1. On the Logon Agent computer, open the LogonProxySTA.asp file located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LogonAgent\

2. Change the value for the const LP_RedirectDelay parameter to 4000 ms (milliseconds) or higher.

3. Save the file. [#84855]

General Issues

Changes to Logon Agent configuration fail to take effect.

If you make any changes to the Logon Agent configuration, you must restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service for those changes to take effect. [#84814]

Web pages fail to load when running a personal firewall.

After installing or uninstalling the Advanced Gateway Client on a machine running a personal firewall, web pages may fail to load. If you are experiencing this problem, Citrix recommends that you restart the machine. [#87084]
