Our old system is W2K/ AD, so I am thinking of continuing this, or (if I =
can get enough testing in) changing to W2K3.  I don't know of anyone =
that has really tested 2K3 on Citrix though, and I don't have enough =
knowledge to become a guinea pig.  Out of pure curiosity, why does it =
sound like I'm going NT4?

We have 80 users total.. may increase or decrease.. The most we've ever =
seen is 8 on each server.  This is really over-specced, IMO.

Depending on how many users you plan to have on each server... the
hardware should work nicely.  It sounds like you are creating a new NT
4.0 domain.  Any reason why you wouldn't go to Win2k/AD?

All:

Finally got the budget to upgrade servers, and I would very much value
=3D
your input/advice if anyone has any.

Here are the specs I am looking at.  Has anyone had any problems with
=3D
running Citrix on this, or can they see any problems I may have?  (The
=3D
farm will have a PDC, BDC, 4 citrix load-balanced, running Peoplesoft &
=3D
a few other apps)

Dell PowerEdge 4600:
        Dual Processors, both Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz, 512 K Cache
        2GB DDR SDRAM 4X512MB
        2 18 GB HD
        Embedded RAID (PERC3/Di 128MB 2 channels)
        Redundant Power Supplies
        CD/DVDR

Thank you very much.=3D20
