As with all XenApp updates, Citrix recommends installing in the following
order:

1. Data store server (if indirect)

2. ZDCs (both primary and backup)

3. XML brokers

4. Farm metric servers

5. Farm member servers

From the readme for the hotfix rollup packs.

I would also recommend upgrading your license server to 11.6.1 before you
start the upgrade process.

Hi

So you just installed over the top?  Are there any gotchas?  I understand I
need to update the farm metric server first.  Any other tips for a seamless
upgrade?

Thanks

I have upgraded numerous farms from 4.0 to 4.5 as in-place upgrades and
never had an issue.  Not much changes from 4.0 to 4.5.  XenApp 5 for Server
2003 is the same thing as 4.5 FP1.

Hi

Im looking at upgrading my Windows 2003 / Citrix Presentation Server 4 farm
to XenApp 4.5.  I cannot migrate to new hardware.  There are 2 options:

1) Uninstall Citrix Presentation Server 4 and Install XenApp 4.5
2) Install XenApp 4.5 over the top of Citrix Presentation Server 4

Im looking at Option 1 as I feel it may be cleaner.  Can anyone recommend
the best way to upgrade and ensure no issues are encountered..  Which option
should I go with?

Thanks
Ang
