Two-Minute Drill

Installing the Citrix ICA Client Software

• Windows clients can be deployed three ways: installation disks, network share point, and Web-based.

• Only the Windows clients can be deployed remotely.

• All clients support mapping of local drives and printers.

• Server auto-location can put a strain on the network through its use of broadcast traffic.

• Citrix servers can be configured as server groups for the client. The client will query these servers in order.

• There are two clients that run on Windows 32-bit platforms: the graphical Program Neighborhood client and the Web-based client.

• The client must be configured to use firewall addresses.

• The DOS client must be installed locally on each desktop.

• The user's drive letters will be remapped so as not to conflict with the server drives.

• The Macintosh and Unix clients support published applications, but they do not support Program Neighborhood.

• Clients can be preconfigured by editing the files appsrv.src, module.src, pn.src, and wfclient.src.

• Citrix clients can auto-update when connecting to a server that contains a newer version of the client.

• Encryption is now included with version 6 of the Citrix client.

• Audio support allows audio files from the server to be played in a Citrix session.

• Creating installation disks is the longest and most tedious way to install the Citrix client.
