Hmmm why not create the new farm using SQL right off the bat. Then move the
existing servers to the new SQL farm?

Subject: [THIN] Upgrade strategy question...
For the gurus out there:
We currently have a Windows 2000 SP4 / MF XP 1.0 FR1 farm of 3 servers. We
also have 1 NT4 SP6a machine running MetaFrame XP 1.0 FR1 acting as a data
collector with an access datastore on the machine. No one logs into the NT4
machine, but the three 2000 boxes are in production currently.
I need to upgrade or replace the NT4 box to get it to Windows 2000 and get
the other 3 machines to use this new machine as the indirect access to the
datastore. Also, I need to port the datastore from MS Access to SQL.
What I plan to do is the following:
1. Create a new machine with Windows 2000 SP4 and MF XP 1.0 FR1 in a NEW
farm using the existing MS Access datastore. 2. Move the existing
production servers over to the new farm.
3. Convert the datastore from MS Access to SQL.
Is this a viable strategy, or is there a simpler way of doing things?
I looked at citrix.com/support, but it appears like they removed just about
all documents pre-FR3, so the old advanced concepts guide that would walk an
admin through upgrade from NT4 to 2000 and datastore migration doesn't
appear to be available.
Thanks in advance for any help.
