Ok, now they are asking if we can set up a Windows 2003 Citrix server. = Can this be in the same farm and use the same licenses as Metaframe on = 2000? I believe the installer used to be combined, so I don't think that = special licenses are required, but do they play well on the same farm? I = do know that the Microsoft Terminal licenses are different in 2003.

Do not perform an =3D upgrade of the applications. There will be some DLL's that need to be updated, but = =3D I don't see any reason why you could not have XP and 2003 running on the = =3D same machine. Of course, test before you actually do this on your production machines. Download a free copy of Vmware workstation (if you don't have it =3D already). Build up a test VM and then test this to make sure that it works for =3D you. I know that there are a few KB articles, but I don't have links right = =3D now.
