There doesn't seem to be an absolute best practise here, but we tend nowadays to install all the apps and do initial testing with RDP, then install Metaframe after. This way you can eliminate any issues possibly introduced by Metaframe (pretty rare though). Also, this way you can capture an image which can be deployed later by adding it to the domain and installing Metaframe via script. We like this better because it is cleaner to install Metaframe anew on each server and join the farm "fresh". Regards, Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

I gathered from the responses it doesn't really matter. I installed all the app after MF and my newest 2003 MF server is cruising along just peachy. Now I'm rebuilding an older one.
