Preface

Microsoft Terminal Servers remain the most powerful and widely usedimplementation of server-based computing technology today. In Windows2000 Terminal Server, Microsoft has added many new and important features.These added features make Windows 2000 Terminal Server alone agood solution for many companies' application deployment needs.Like its predecessor, Windows 2000 Terminal Server's main purpose is todistribute Windows 2000 desktops to remote Terminal Server clients usingserver-based technology. By using server-based technology to distribute thesedesktops,Terminal Server extends the reach of your Windows applications.

Citrix MetaFrame XP is an add-on product available for either WindowsNT 4.0 or 2000 Terminal Server. It adds on to and complements the existingfeatures available in these products. Using Citrix MetaFrame XP, you canpublish your applications instead of having users run them from a TerminalServer desktop. In addition, MetaFrame XP offers better printer managementcapabilities, a centralized management console, and support from non-Windowsclient connections such as UNIX, DOS, and Macintoshworkstations.

For Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 administrators who are considering upgradingto Citrix MetaFrame XP, you will find MetaFrame XP's core design to bevery different, but also much more scalable than that of MetaFrame 1.8.In this book, you will learn the inner workings of both of these productsand how to integrate them effectively into the diverse environments oftoday's enterprise networks.

Although this book focuses mainly on Citrix MetaFrame XP and 1.8running on Windows 2000 Terminal Server, those who support TerminalServer-only solutions or Citrix MetaFrame on Windows NT 4.0 TerminalServer should not feel left out. You will find plenty of material that is applicable to you. The majority of the tips, techniques, and concepts covered here apply equally well for all platform combinations. Although Microsoft's next release of their Windows server platform, Windows .NET Terminal Server has not been released as of this writing, you will find coverage of some of the many new features that you can expect in this product when it is released.

Who This Book Is For

This book is primarily for system administrators and consultants who areresponsible for implementing a Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFramesolution. However, there also is significant coverage for those who findthat Terminal Services alone provides all the features they need.This is a technical book written by an engineer for engineers. You willfind real-world solutions, top-ten tips, command and technical article references, lists of technical resources and web sites available, and lots of technical coverage that will hopefully help you when you need it the most. It assumes a basic familiarity with Windows server and workstation administration.

Appendix F, "Citrix and Microsoft Technical Article Reference," is aneasy-to-use index of the most important Terminal Server and CitrixMetaFrame-related technical articles on both Microsoft's and Citrix's website. This is a good reference to go to check first to find articles on resolutions to common problems and also technical articles that provide detailed information on particular Citrix and Terminal Server issues.

Terminology Used

It is important that this book covers a wide range of different versions ofboth Windows Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame so that the informationprovided is as useful and relevant as possible for your environment.However, covering this wide range of topics means that it is also importantthat consistent terminology is used throughout the book. Using consistentterminology helps ensure that it is clear what version is being referred to ina particular sentence. The following is the list of terminology used in thisbook:

  • Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Refers specifically to Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition.
  • Windows 2000 Terminal Server Refers specifically to a Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services installed.
  • Windows 2000 Terminal Services Refers to the Terminal Services themselves.
  • Terminal Server Shorthand reference that refers in general to either Windows 2000 Terminal Server or Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server.
  • Normally is shorthand for Windows 2000 Terminal Server because that is the focus of the book.
  • Windows .NET Terminal Server Refers to the next release of Windows 2000 Server. You will learn about some of the many new features
  • projected to be released in this version.
  • The Windows .NET Terminal Server line should be available within a few months after the release of this book.
  • Citrix MetaFrame General reference to Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 or XP
  • MetaFrame XP or 1.8 Specific reference to that version of Citrix MetaFrame.
  • MetaFrame XPs, XPa or XPe Used when discussing a feature specific to a particular subversion of MetaFrame XP. For example, "You need to install Terminal Services on a Windows 2000 Server for it to be a Windows 2000 Terminal Server."

This terminology usage also makes is simpler when referring to multipleproducts in the same sentence. For instance, "You will find this feature inboth Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 Terminal Server" or "Citrix MetaFrameenables you to publish applications to your users."
